Stopped by after hearing some good things, and overall it was a decent experience. The food was fresh and nicely presented, but a couple dishes were missing that extra flavor I was expecting. Nothing was bad, it just didn't really stand out. The service was polite and the staff checked in a few times, although things slowed down once it got busier. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it an easy place to sit and chat. I'd probably give it another try because there were a few menu items that still looked really good.

This was the worst Persian restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The kababs were undercooked and served cold, and everything was presented in plastic containers, which made the experience even more disappointing. I would not recommend this place.
I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the experience fell flat. I ordered their pizza, and while it was super cheesy and loaded with toppings, it was also very greasy—too much for my taste. It looked promising but ended up feeling more like a heavy snack than a quality meal. What really disappointed me was the service. The waitress didn’t bring any utensils for the pizza, and never came by to check if we needed anything—not even once. It felt like we were forgotten, which took away from the whole dining experience.
Disgusting experience. I ordered a chicken kabob platter at this place and the chicken chunks were raw, cold and pink in the center. I do not recommend this so-called restaurant. P.S. This review is about my visit and order on February 14, 2026. I’m glad to read in their response below that their kitchen got shut down - it totally had it coming.
Went on a rainy day, fully drenched looking for a warm place to chat with my girlfriend. Love the warm reception, great ambience and yummy white gummy hookah. Definitely a try for some authentic hookah smoking experience
