Reviews
The food was almost great. The chicken was a bit burnt but still ok. Kabob was perfect. rice great.
Bon Appétit!
The food overall was delicious. The Zereshk Polo was flavorful, and the Chicken Barg stood out — tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The Koobideh Kabob had great texture, though it was a bit on the salty side for my taste. The Salmon Kabob was nicely grilled and tasted fresh.
We also loved their Doogh and the flavor of their Moosir — both were refreshing and authentic additions to the meal. The only downside was the salad, which didn’t quite match the quality of the rest of the dishes.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and craving good Persian food with warm hospitality.
The menu, however, has its ups and downs. The appetizer Kashke Bademjan was, as always, a delicious standout – rich, well-balanced, and full of flavor Mediterranean eggplant spread. It’s an all time must-try! Hummus was just a hummus and partially pull up behind. Unfortunately, the Barg Kebab didn’t quite make it being a bit chewy, had little to no saffron flavor, and came with an enormous side of rice that felt disproportionate to the main dish.
The drink and cocktail selection was very limited and surprisingly plain (particularly old-fashioned), not aligning with the restaurant’s stylish decor. The dishes and silverware also felt a bit basic, even mismatched, compared to the overall aesthetic.
Service was friendly but clearly overwhelmed having only one person covering the entire dining area on a Monday evening, despite good number of tables being occupied.
All in all, place has a lot of charm and some strong points (especially interior design), but it could benefit from more attention to consistency, staffing, and detail.
I thanks the manager because I ask for more rise and she provided me with more for no fee.
I got the Alborz plate that is enough for two people. It comes with 3 different skewers and 2 saffron rice. The dish was absolutely super great.
I got the Cesar salad, and it was below average. More cheese and sauce should be added.
I tried the Turkish coffee, and it was just like the coffee I got from Turkey; super good and super strong. Also, I got a fresh pomegranate and it was good.
The place’s vibes are so good. They have internal and external tables. For sure, I am going to visit them again.
After waiting 14 minutes, they told us they had run out of it. Seriously?! We were already starting our main dish when they informed us. Even worse — I noticed the table next to us (who ordered before us) was enjoying Mirza Ghasemi. Not very professional. At the very least, they could have offered us a different appetizer on the house to make up for the mistake. (Tip: check with the kitchen first — don’t wait 15 minutes to say something!)
The Sultani Kabob was good — juicy and tasty. The bathroom was a bit odd (see my photos) — no privacy at the men’s stalls. Parking is limited, though there is street parking nearby (paid)
