Hi, I wanted to share some feedback about my recent order. I ordered the Vaziri with modifications — I replaced the plain white rice with Baghali Polo and ordered a mojito with no alcohol. I understand the extra charge for the Baghali Polo, but I was charged the full $15 for the mojito even though it was made without alcohol. Unfortunately, it tasted more like water with lemon and a few mint leaves — not worth the price. I’d appreciate it if you could look into this. I didnt make a huge fuss about it but I believe I should have been fairly charged.

I visited North (Shomal) Restaurant after a few years of not having visited, and most likely a few changes in management over the years. I ordered a couple of appetizers along with a main dish, and all items were presented fairly well and seemed fresh, and tasted good. The service was prompt and friendly, and while the restaurant was clean, it could be due for a little renovation in my opinion as the decor while nice, has been the same for almost a decade. Thank you

We had a wonderful experience! Mehran was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He was professional yet warm, and made us feel truly welcome. The food was also perfectly done. It really made my birthday dinner extra special, thank you for such great service!

Used to like this place, but after sitting at a table for 50 minutes without even being provided with water or utensils, having to ask for menus, and flag down 3 different servers for an update on our orders (which, apparently, never even made it to the kitchen despite being reassured by other servers that our food was almost ready), we won't be returning. If you cannot provide service in your restaurant, consider either not opening that day or letting customers know before they waste their time waiting for service that will never come.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The only decent thing we ordered was the Baghali Ghatogh everything else was a disaster.
The Mast Moosir was a watery mess with no texture or flavor. They didn’t even bother offering any starter or small bites before the main courses, which is ridiculous for a place that charges like a fine dining restaurant.
The lamb chops were a joke. Mostly bone, barely any meat, and what little meat there was tough, dry, and chewy. It looked nothing like a proper lamb chop and the portion was so small, it was insulting.
The fish? Completely bland and clearly not marinated just thrown into oil and fried without any care. It tasted like something you’d regret even cooking at home, let alone pay restaurant prices for.
Overall, this place is overpriced, overrated, and careless. I would never step foot in there again, and I strongly warn others not to waste their money. There are plenty of better restaurants out there don’t fall for the hype here. Stay away

We recently visited a charming Persian/Gilani restaurant and were absolutely delighted. The baghali ghatogh was comforting and full of flavor, while the kebab torsh stole the show—perfectly tender, juicy, and infused with that signature tang from the pomegranate and walnut marinade. It felt like a delicious passport straight to the lush north of Iran. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, echoing memories of northern Iran with its rustic touches and cozy vibe. The only thing I’d change? The music. At a Persian restaurant—especially one steeped in regional identity—I’d love to hear Persian music, ideally some beautiful Gilaki or Iranian folk tunes. It’s just like when you go to an Indian restaurant and expect to be surrounded by the sounds of sitar or Bollywood, not American pop. The ambiance would feel more complete with melodies that match the menu. Still, the food and nostalgic atmosphere made for a memorable experience. Highly recommend for lovers of Persian cuisine looking for an authentic taste of Gilan.

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered Mirza Ghasemi, and it turned out to be the spiciest version I’ve ever had. It felt like the chef had a heavy hand with the pepper – completely overwhelming the actual flavor of the dish. It wasn’t enjoyable at all, especially considering the price.
The Koobideh was also surprisingly spicy, which is very unusual for this traditional dish. And the Zeytoon Parvardeh was just terrible – the taste was way off.
Honestly, it felt like the chef had never cooked proper Persian food before. If you’re looking for authentic flavors, I would not recommend this place.
Their chenge is the best in the city. Always great service.

Food was awful specially the rice smells awful. Desserts were icy. Service was poor. I requiem this restaurant isn’t worth it to expend any money . Waste of money and time. Also I ordered takeout food too there was no butter and somagh and also no spoons and fork. This was the worse Persian restaurant I’ve ever been. Kabab,chicken & rice was the worse than other foods
