The carry out is located inside the Hills Market. The good thing is you don't have to carry it too far. The market has a nice area to eat. I love, love Iranian food. This was superb. Large portions, tasty, everything you expect of Persian food. Even my non Persian friends loved it. The owner was friendly and generous. Can't say enough about it.

My first time going to this location. I went once to their previous location. Owners are very friendly and helpful. We got Koobideh kabab and Ghormeh Sabzi. Their kebobs were delicious and juicy. Their stews are always the best. They taste like homemade stews. I wish we were living in Columbus close to their place.

Went at 4:30 today to get dinner and they were closed. The website said 6PM. I understand that emergencies come up, but there was no signage saying that they were closing early. Very disappointed.I have gotten food from here before and it was great. It is just disappointing when they aren’t open during posted hours.

I was very happy when Charmy's popped up on my bookmarked spots and I was finally able to try their offerings. Serving their food made-to-order in The Hills Downtown, one of the owners (nice gal, indeed) verbally took my order and quoted a 20 minute wait for pick up (at the counter inside The Hills). I was bummed that several of my top choices on their menu were currently out, so I settled for the Mirza Ghasemi (grilled eggplant, egg, tomato and garlic) and a chicken kabob. The Mirza Ghasemi was delicious! I ate some with the accompanying bread, and ended up just eating it with a spoon so I wouldn't get full on the carbs. I highly recommend this starter. As for my chicken kabob, I was quite disappointed. The chicken was not very juicy, grilled a smidge too long. The roasted bell peppers were good, but there were only three or four small pieces, so not enough to give the meat an extra bump of flavor. The accompanied yellow saffron rice was also bland. For the price, one recommendation would be to pay a bit more attention to consistent cooking times and flavor profiles. I'm sure I'll eventually get to this Hills in due time, and if Charmy's Mirza Ghasemi is available, I'd gladly get that dish. It's perfect with a home-cooked protein, on a salad, the list goes on.

Inside Hills Market. Hot food buffet and salad bar weekdays at lunch time. Best suites to take out. But we go for the cold prepared food... Almost always have kebobs, falafel, etc. Can often get lamb kebobs. Quinoa salads are a great lunch to pick up on my way to work.

This is a real Persian restaurant. The owners are always there, and all the cooking is done right in front of you. All Kabobs are cooked to order. It is a must try you won't regret it.
I have been searching for Persian food in Columbus and this place is IT! Highly recommend anything on the menu, we had a combo platter, eggplant and yogurt all were excellent and taste exactly how our family makes it at home. If you are looking for authentic Persian food you’ve found the right place. Wish they were open on Sunday’s!
