The owner was nice.
She introduced herself and took our order.
My sister, her husband and my nephew had eaten there under the previous owner like 6 years ago and since we were in the area, they wanted us to try it.
My mom and I had never eaten "Persian" food.
Prices ranged from 15 to 30 from what I'd say was good sized plates. Decor was nice.
Restaurant was empty.
Male waiter was on top of checking on us and refilling our waters. We got a complimentary "starter dish" with mint leaves, butter pats, soft cheese and like half an onion...all to spread on thin tortilla (lavash?) The waiter explained how to eat it. We ordered our plates.
Everyone liked the plates ...
I am not sure what the dish names were but 3 dishes were ground beef and chicken skewers...
my mom got chicken breast skewer all dishes they got came over balsmatti rice. I got a wrap filled with ground beef skewer shaped thing, diced cucumber and tomato.
With some really good hot special sauce on the side.
After I got the meat really well done...
it was a really tasty dish full of freshness.
I am very picky but this place made me happy with their attentiveness. Hopefully we visit again .

Hi Sherene, thank you so much for visiting us and for providing such a thorough review.
We strive to provide a fresh, enjoyable dining experience to all of our customers and we are so delighted by your words.
We sure do hope to serve you again, soon.

We are pretty picky about our Persian food and had never eaten here.
We came with a friend that had been and said it had been renovated and is under newer management since the pandemic. The ambiance was nice, clean, and chic and the kabob was superb! Our food was delicious and our server was very accommodating.
We will definitely be returning and telling others!

Thank you so much for kind review and the fabulous photos!! We look forward to your next visit!

Very delicious Persian dishes , they have Stamboli Polo, Lamb Shanks, and Tah-Cheen Friday Saturday and Sunday, as well as all the kabab dishes . The best lamb shank I had, must try, for every Saturday, call a head , to reserve it for you , since it is very fresh and lots of demand.
