Went for a friend's birthday with a group of 5. The tables are all 4 tops, so it required them to put two tables together. Smaller groups are probably better here.
The group included 1 very picky eater and 1 somewhat picky eater who both really enjoyed the food. Everyone raved about it for days.
The waiter seemed stressed and it turned out they were short staffed and had a large reservation for a party and a wedding catering event as well as walk-ins. Even so, he did a great job and I was so happy that he didn't constantly hover over us or rush us to order main courses with our appetizers. We like to take our time and talk over our food and the time to enjoy our appetizers before our main courses were even ordered was fantastic. It's very hard to get restaurants to do this even when you ask.
We will definitely return and recommend it to our friends and family.

Tool waiter 15 minutes to show up table and watched multiple people walk out waiting on service. The waiter also the guy at the register sat in his phone most of the time and never bothered to check on guest. He clearly had no knowledge of the menu when we tried to ask simple questions. Once our food arrived he once Again never came to check on us. I yelled multiple times for his attention but he was busy sitting behind the register on his phone. I had to walk up to get his attention and he was annoyed by this. I asked him for cheese and he told me couldn’t give me more cheese unless he charged me for it and still never got up to at least provide napkins. We all tried out good and agreed it was flavorless and greasy. At this time he still never bothered to get up and sat there and gave us dirty looks. I told him we wouldn’t be paying for any of the food and left. Absolutely the worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant do not waste your money or your time with these clowns. If you want good Persian food go to House of Kabob down the road they offer great food and service every time.

Came in for early dinner! Wasn’t even greeted by the guy at the desk / reception area. In my opinion, wasn’t friendly at all, didn’t even tell me his name. Sat down ordered the Hummus and the “garlic” sauce according to what stated it was. For my dinner, wanted the chicken & steak (Mignon) kebab with rice. The guy asked me if I wanted a drink, ordered a coke with lemon. Few minutes later I was brought the coke with lime! Lime is green, lemon is yellow! I asked for lemon which is what I enjoy, the lime changed the taste completely.
Let’s get down to the flavor….
1) The hummus was terrible! It had no taste. When my dinner was brought to me, told the young lady she could take it. I expected somebody to come and inquire since I left pretty much the entire dish.
2) The “garlic” sauce, was told that’s what it was by the guy that took my order so I said sure. This too, don’t know what the hell it was and another odd on flavors. Honestly, I thought it was the yogurt with dill which is fabulous for the most part. So don’t get this confused, it’s not one of their options.
3) A place like this and it doesn’t serve fresh warm bread, thought that was a bummer! I only ate two pieces, one with the hummus and one with the “garlic” sauce.
4) Dinner arrived, placed nicely on the curved plate. Make sure you eat carefully, your food will fall off the plate. The ONLY two things I enjoyed were the chicken and the rice, they were both good! The supposed steak (Mignon) is not even close, I don’t know what that was, definitely wasn’t Mignon. I didn’t taste the small salad not the grilled tomato so I won’t comment on those. This guy was quick to tell me with the steak it’s $33.00 lol I thought that was hilarious because it’s definitely not worth it!
Now let’s talk about the service! ZERO! Not one person came to me to ask me how is everything! I was done eating and waited for like 8 mins, I was watching my clock. The place wasn’t even busy, had one other party of two that were already served when I got there. Wasn’t even offered dessert!
More like a Taste of Nothing! Exactly what I got!
This is NOT a Valdi approved joint!

The taste of the kebab was good, but it was cold. The kebab chencheh was a bit tough, but it tasted very delicious. The rice was excellent.

Had the Lamb Shank it was pretty great. The restaurant was extremely clean and the service was great. I wish they had a soda fountain for refills, unfortunately they only have canned drinks.

I walked in and just wanted to pick something up quick. The woman suggested the Taste Platter. It was magnificent! The eggplant mash, for lack of a better word was incredibly tasty, the Humas, the same and a mediterranean salad, fantastic! Added fresh pita, again probably the wrong word.
For size I got was plenty for 2 and leftovers!! Can’t wait to go back tasting different cultures food. I am hooked!
Thank you,

Very good! Our first night here on a date night and we splurged on a mixed grill combo for two for $65 thinking it'll be a good representation of their meats. We also ordered a small pot of persian tea, which was served in a hot tea pot set with sugar cubes.
Would love to see how big these two people are, since what came could easily feed four people. We have all kinds of meat, including a whole lamb shank. My favorite was the chicken, which was beautifully seared and juicy. The rice was cooked very well, with little sweet berries that added such a nice touch of sweetness to the meal.
Will be abck again!

Dogelon Mars popped in here while waiting for auto maintenance. What made this place so warm was the family who owns it. They happily accommodated my hours of working and solo dining. The tea light kept my Persian tea hot the hours I remained. The pistachio cake roll is quite literally the best cake I have ever had in my entire life of travels. This is the cake. If you just stop in for cake and tea you will be happy. The pictures of the food do not convey all the flavors. I spent 50 on just myself but that was with Persian tea, a Coke Zero, cake roll with freshly shaved pistachio, spicy salad Azma, Lucia Polo and the additives. I essentially had a full spread. When I say I was there all day- I actually finished a project and still had tea to spare.
The only thing I would change- I would have Persian music or cafe Anatolia to enhance the atmosphere. (There was elevated music) I was able to focus and they were beautiful people.

My family and I had such an amazing experience! Coming from a middle eastern and Iranian background, this place truly made me feel like I was at home accompanied with an elegant experience. The owner was so sweet and the place was so beautiful.

I was visiting family in Nashville
When we came across this amazing little restaurant.
My family is originally from this region of the world and let me tell you we know good Persian food when we see it.
There were twelve of us in our party and we all selected different entrees and appetizers
They were all outstanding from the presentation to the taste of fresh and proper ingredients used in all the dishes
This is a hidden gem for anyone who has had or trying to have Persian food for the first time.
We got to meet the owner of the restaurant and you can tell she puts her heart and soul in all the dishes
Definitely will come back on our next trip back to Nashville.
