What an experience! After being warmly greeted by the owner and her brother, we were seated in a lovely back garden. We were a little nonplussed when someone was seated right next to us, despite there being plenty of other tables—but they soon got cold and went inside. (There are space heaters but they weren’t enough for these folks). We started with cocktails, had lots of appetizers, and then the waiter steered us to the steak main course. Everything was delicious. The steak was steakhouse quality but accented with Persian flavors. The salad was surprisingly spicy. The eggplant dip was to die for. And the dessert was delicious. Highly recommended.
Elevated Persian cuisine with bold and well balanced, but not overcomplicated, flavors. Highly recommend all the appetizers for sharing, including the yogurt dip, the eggplant dip, and the salad with tahini and dates. Save room for dessert and order the tradition Persian ice cream with saffron, rose water and pistachio. The dishes are well portioned perfect for sharing. Plus leek decor, lively ambience and a lovely backyard.
Amazing place. We suggest you get reservations because there is always a good crowd there. The food is delicious and delicate and artistic and beautiful and subtle and robust. You will experience so many flavors. We had the half chicken 🐓 and the steak 🥩 and the Lamb 🐑. So many flavors. All the meat was tender and juicy just fall off the mouth type. The waitress was super knowledgeable and made great suggestions. If you want to try something different but comfort food this is the spot. The owner was there and spoke to us super friendly and kind and wanting for everyone to have a great time.
Loved everything here! We sat in the garden in the back. Food was delicious - highly recommend the date salad, eggplant dip, saffron rice, roasted cauliflower, lamb shank and duck!! Cocktails were amazing too and the staff were attentive and thoughtful. Will come back soon.
Incredible food, everything we ordered was so delicious. The flavor, balance and the effort made to make everything on the plate matter and add value to the dish is remarkable. Bonus points for wonderful chat with the lovely owner/chef and she spent time to explain what we had ordered and the flavor profile. (I may have told her she’s a genius at least 4 times) Superlative experience. They change the menu seasonally, so have to revisit in spring. And we didn’t even get to look at the dessert menu. That saffron ice cream is calling me.
