There are so many regulars here (good sign, for sure!) - the person in front of us gave us recommendations hummus & falafel. We already saw the menu online, so we had our orders 99% decided . Lunch Chicken Tawook with Hummus: chicken was juicy & flavorful. The person in front of us was right, the hummus was delicious & the portions was generous - we needed more pita. Lunch Meat Kafka with Baba ghanoush: meat was flavorful but slightly tough - still enjoyed it though! Baba Ghanoush was deeeelicous - smooth but still had some texture from the grilled eggplant & fresh pomagrantes. The portions were generous, so we asked for a kid for our bowls. Appreciate business is environmentally conscious using recycle paper bowls & single use utensils with cutouts on the handles (less plastic to the environment). Next time, we are def trying the falafel! (app is not allowing photo uploads but will try again later)

We got the Saint-Tropez Sunset cocktail and a suav blanc, and it was perfect (they have so many different sunset themed cocktails to choose from). For food, we ordered the shrimp scampi with garlic bread (super flavorful!) and the chicken skewer. They only give one skewer, which was a little disappointing, I wish they gave at least two. We ended up ordering the Margherita flatbread because we thought the food wouldn't be enough, but it turned out to be a great choice! It was delicious and such a generous portion that we actually struggled to finish it. Since we were celebrating my birthday, we also got the cake. Our super nice server took it off the bill, so it was complimentary. The cake was sublime, honestly one of the best birthday cakes I've ever had (win!!). All servers were really sweet, and did not rush us at all. Overall, we were really happy with the quality of the food and the amazing ambiance. Will definitely come here for more celebration dinners!

The food is always reliable, the service is great, reservations process is always smooth, and the ambiance has a cozy, old-world charm. Our go-to order is the lamb koobideh paired with a glass of Merlot (as pictured). My only tiny qualm is that the second floor has been closed for quite some time. I really wish they'd reopen it because the staircase is beautiful and used to be such a great spot for photos. Other than that, as long I live in the area, persian room is that dependable place for me to always count on for a great meal.

So I feel safe posting cuz dbag doesn't read just has 8-pac abs-- still dumb tho Had to edit review bc he asked if they do catering as he always flies from UK to this dbag thing on Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley every year and always complains about the food and demanded me to call/ask if they do catering. 2 hours before the event Yo. No. Bro. Not same day, dick! He'd rather have anything off the menu from this place to cater with a 2 hr lead up to whatever the F Intl Paradise Valley finance bros do aside from making his best friend take "dictation". Emphasis on dick. Hahaha, satisfied? ---- Well-- this rich London asshole is back in town. "Cheap flights why not? We get 6 weeks holiday anyway just to start." Told me to write and rave again. Because he has servants to do all that- total knob. Word for word: "The second I am through customs, this is always my tradition for the lovely senoras marinating and cooking the best kebabs ever." Not quite AI/Google translate: My friend is the world's hugest snob and nob. This is the exact place you take your most high maintenaince Paradise Valley/Resorts off Camelback, Old Town clubbers. The world is a show. At least enjoy amazing Middle Eastern food cooked by the loveliest señors because latin don't mess around when it comes to marinade, bbq--- everything! Gracias mujeres for always making my UK friend give him a reason to live for!! He's totally going to hate me. But he can't move after how much he ordered!! You all always make him smile and laugh. Best part about today-- you even got a new customer in from Paris. I recommended Chicken Shwarma, Babba, Hummus, Greek salad--- mentioned douchebag London finance bro omg he is so lost in life if this place (no offense) is his 1st stop off the plane in America. Only met Paris, France peeps cuz my buddy is such a pain in the ass so I talk to anyone else! Hope it's not my last review. I think I can survive any dumbass attacks.

They offer great service, a large menu with many customizable options, and huge portions. You won't leave hungry! The restaurant is long and narrow. When we visited on a Wednesday night, it was packed. We sat at the last available booth, near the back. There are a few seats outside as well, which is great when the weather isn't as hot. I always order the "create an entree." You can choose one, two, or three entrees plus two sides. You can make this vegetarian or non-vegetarian. I always choose one entree plus the two sides. It also comes with pita upon request. Any more than that, and I would have to take leftovers home. Another table ordered the flaming cheese, which sounded delicious.

There is a small note at the bottom of Virtù Honest Craft's dinner menu saying that, with 48 hours'…read morenotice and a minimum of six people, the kitchen will prepare a whole suckling pig dinner. That tiny note is one of the great understatements in Scottsdale dining. What it really means is: bring people you like, clear your calendar, abandon moderation, and prepare for a full-scale feast. Eight of us booked it. At $200 per person before alcohol, and with a wine list good enough to encourage thoroughly defensible excess, this is not a casual dinner. But the first board hit the table and any concern about value disappeared. The charcuterie spread looked less like an appetizer and more like the catering plan for a small celebration: ribbons of prosciutto, mortadella, salami, sweet and spicy sausages, imported buffalo mozzarella, piles of cheeses, fruit, nuts, grilled peppers glossed with olive oil, toasted bread, and a large bowl full of premium Italian cheese made from the milk of Mediterranean water buffaloes - true "bufala." We barely made a dent in it. The single best bite I had all night may have been the simplest: bread, buffala, those peppers, and a generous fold of prosciutto. Salty, creamy, sweet, smoky, rich. One of those bites that shuts down conversation for a moment. Then came the pasta course: huge paccheri, almost obscenely generous, cooked exactly right and coated in a deep, meaty sauce that tasted as though it had been simmering all day for this exact purpose. There were grilled sausages too, plus a warm, fiery n'duja condiment that made an already indecent meal even more indecent. And then there was the arugula salad - simple, sharp, properly dressed, shaved with parmigiano, somehow good enough that later, when we went around the table naming favorite bites of the night, more than one person picked the salad. That tells you something important: this was not just abundance. This was abundance with standards. Then the pig arrived. Whole. Burnished. Beautiful. The skin was the kind of thing people spend years chasing and almost never find: not merely crisp, but shatteringly, absurdly crisp - paper-thin, glassy, almost like caramelized lacquer. Underneath was luscious, fatty, slow-roasted pork that managed to be rich without losing its structure. Put a piece of that skin on top of a little meat and rendered fat and the effect is almost unfair: the greatest pork imaginable riding on the greatest cracker ever made. The potatoes alongside were outrageous - roasted to that perfect point where the edges are savage and the interiors go soft, clearly acquainted with pork fat and every blessing it can bestow. The greens held their own. Nothing on the platter felt like an obligation. Everything deserved to be there. By then the table was already wrecked in the happiest possible way, and yet dessert still came out in what felt like a parade: chocolate - the sticky toffee kind, butterscotch budino, gelati, and more sweets than eight people had any business facing after everything that preceded them. It was excessive, theatrical, and completely in keeping with the meal. The kitchen had chosen its thesis early - pleasure without apology - and saw it through to the end. What made this dinner memorable was not just the scale, though the scale was frankly ridiculous. We all left with full bags of leftovers, each one loaded with containers from different courses, and it still felt as though the meal could have fed another full table. Plenty of restaurants can overwhelm you with quantity. Very few can do it while making each component feel like the best version of itself. The mozzarella. The peppers. The pasta. The salad. The pig skin. The potatoes. The luxurious pudding. Nothing felt like filler. Nothing felt mailed in. This meal felt like Thanksgiving, Easter, a wedding dinner, and a fiftieth anniversary feast all rolled into one, then tightened up by a kitchen that knows exactly what it is doing. It was glorious, yes, but more importantly it was precise. If you have six to eight people who genuinely love to eat, book the whole suckling pig dinner at Virtù Honest Craft. It is one of the great shared feasts I have ever had anywhere. It's my new death penalty meal.
