    This is not traditional Persian food, it’s a contemporary take on Persian cuisine without many of the dishes that make it great. The staff leaves a lot to be desired as well, not very warm or knowledgeable on their menu. Not sure who their target audience is, appears they’re more focused on trying to be different than blending new world ideas with traditional Persian food. They had some good ideas and the ingredients were quality though.

    WOW!!! There are no words. I surprised a friend with a reservation here and we had the bread and seasonal dips to start and honestly, if that was the only thing we ordered.... I would have been more than happy. We were both expecting the dips to be of a hummus variety and that was absolutely NOT the case. They were gorgeous visually and DEEP with flavor that I just didn't want to stop eating. It is one of the types of dishes that I classify as never wanting to finish. As then, your gorgeous treat is gone and that is such sadness. PLEASE everyone give this gem a taste... you will fall in love with the flavors, just as we did.

    Started with flatbread and dips, the star of which at this moment was a carrot and yogurt dip. Then lamb shank, chicken breast with barberries, duck leg fesenjoon, and a fabulously delicious, seasonal spinach and mushroom dish, all gorgeously smelling of saffron and spices, all tangy with lemon or barberries or pomegranate molasses, each cooked to perfection. Only regret is not having room to try desserts. Great food, pleasant atmosphere, excellent value!

    Outstanding all round. The serving staff gave us the space we needed to catch up with old friends as well as delivering excellent service. Food was delicious. The vegan was well accommodated. Great ambiance.
