Amoo’s has such an authentic, warm feel. The restaurant is small and welcoming, and the service feels genuinely personal. The owner is always around and takes the time to check in with each guest, which really makes you feel cared for. We ordered the chimichurri chicken, hummus, and baklava, and everything was delicious. A great spot if you’re looking for authentic Persian food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere.

We had a wonderful experience dining at Amoo's! We started with the hummus and pita, which was accompanied by a vibrant and somewhat spicy chimichurri. I then enjoyed the tahdig with bean and potato stew, and my partner enjoyed the lamb. Will definitely dine here again!!

Another note, we observed they were doing a lot of Uber Eats, so it must be a popular place!
