We unknowingly arrived during their grand opening! It was a great experience from the customer service to the live music. I really wanted to sit down and eat, but my little one wasn't having it! We ordered gyros, spanakopita, and baklava. The gyros were not my favorite they were way too salty, spanakopita was delicious, and the baklava was fine. I'm definitely willing to return as I had a good experience overall. I would be happy to turn this 3-star review to a 4-star.

But it's true that this place is 4/5 or possibly worse for sitting down, so they kinda deserve it for that. Got takeout from here today and have dined in thrice before--excellent, never had anything slightly bad here. (Those who complain of bland rice must have never had the displeasure of eating over-salted polo--here, it does range from slightly under salted to perfect, but is never too salty.) When I've sat down, the service was good and servers were very polite (and kind about my attempts to speak Persian), but man I cannot get over the weird ambiance--it seems like others can't either; takeout orders predominated by at least 5:1 every time. Walking in you're nervous the place will be dirty with bad food, but it's actually neither, just dim, dated and not well maintained--please at least trash the dead roses so I also prefer the takeout experience. In descending order of absolute best to just good things I've had here: Gheymeh (!!), lamb shank (!!), kashk-e bademjoon (theirs is my favorite!), all kabobs, ghormeh sabzi (not the best I've ever had but pretty good), fesenjoon, salmon (wasn't very Persian, but good) Mast-based appetizers are a bit eh to me but they're the same here as everywhere else. I always get ice cream, it's a really nice treat. I love Persian food and I love introducing people to Persian food, so I wish this was a nicer sit down place to bring people to. I would be up here all the time if it were--there's other middle eastern restaurants northwest of and in Baltimore that I LOVE taking people to because they're both beautiful inside and delicious. But I do so love the food here.

Pleasantly pleased with my first Persian experience…read more Just off Joppa Road no the eastern edge of Towson is a massive complex built just for shops. In the sea of massage parlors, tanning salons, and laundromats is a Orchard Market & Cafe, serving up authentic Persian cuisine for 35+ years and counting. Had the fam visiting sis in nearby Pikesville. When we come down she always picks somewhere off the beaten path, something unique. This visit was no exception. Having never tried Persian food, I was excited to try something completely new. In this case, it was new yet also familiar. It's kind of like a mix between Indian and Mediterranean. You've got your assortment of stews and grilled meats infused with saffron, cardamom, and turmeric served of course with a side of basmati rice. The Mediterranean influence can be seen in their homemade hummus and use of fresh fruit and vegetables. There is perhaps no better example than the Mango Pear Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, mango, pear, Bulgarian feta and pomegranate vinaigrette. If you're feeling up for some true Persian fusion, you can't go wrong with Spicy Kermani Beef, which features succulent filet mignon sauteed with mushrooms and pepperoncinis in a zesty tomato garlic curry sauce. Everything in that brief description is right up my alley, and usurpingly the meal did not disappoint. Service was on point from start to finish, the finish being a tall glass of Persian saffron ice cream. Now this was truly a first for me, as I've never had anything like this in my life. The taste can be described as earthy, slightly floral and very aromatic. Rosewater adds the floral notes, while the saffron gives it the signature golden-yellow color and luxurious scent. Definitely a one-of-a-kind flavor that I highly suggest trying. The dining room is cozy with some neat pieces of art resembling ancient Middle Eastern artifacts adorning the walls. All in all I'm glad we got to try cuisine that doesn't have much representation in this neck of the woods.

I've been to Moby Dick just a few times over the years I've lived in Hampden (most recently a few…read moreweeks ago), but I'm not sure why I don't go more often! As far as fast casual concepts go, the food is really interesting and very delicious. Moby Dick is a Persian restaurant, and it has some great and healthy options. Their menu is very large, too, and has lots of dishes I love: dolmeh, falafel, Shirazi salad, kabobs, Kashk-o-Badmejan (a popular Persian eggplant dip with garlic, onions, turmeric, dried mint, and yogurt whey - it's tangy and savory and I love it), and more. On my last visit a few weeks ago, I ordered ahead online and stopped by to pick it up: Shirazi salad, kubideh wrap, and Kashk-o-Badmejan. It was a great little lunch (and some leftover for a snack later). If you're doing a fast casual meal and want to mix it up with a different cuisine, it's a good option! (If you're eating in, the inside of the restaurant is really clean and comfortable and large! And the customer service is friendly!)

Even though it was before 11, they let us order off of the lunch menu, which was a nice surprise. We ordered the lamb salad and lamb bowl and the lamb was excellent, almost a cross between ground and chunked. The lamb salad was covered in a very cumin forward salad dressing, which was delicious, and we devoured it. The bowl was also quite good, and the pickled topping was standout, but overall it really could have used a sauce or dressing. The service was a little weird. The food came fairly quickly, however, the dishes were delivered separately about 5 minutes apart, even though we ordered them together. The restaurant was clean, and I wish we'd had time to sample the delightful looking breakfast pastries and 3 flavors of baklava. There is a coffee bar and a cocktail bar, as well as a cold case with fizzy water, bottled lemonades, and wine. There are also a few tiny tables on the sidewalk, which was a great place to enjoy the morning and people watch.

The salad options were cabbage and carrot salad or Lebanese salad- cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion. I was hoping for a lettuce salad, but all of the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful, it totally hit the spot. I didn't miss the lettuce at all. I topped my meal with tzatziki sauce, garlic sauce, and pepper sauce. It was delicious. I appreciate that the portion was good for the price and that they've got a rewards program to earn a free meal. Inside it is a small shop, but there are a handful of tables for eating in. The line moved quickly, and the service was very prompt. My only complaint is that Pitamore is only open for lunch on weekdays. I wish they had more hours and were open for dinner and on weekends. I hope I can go back soon.

I was given a card my first visit to Shah's when I ordered the chapli chicken platter, a bowl with ground chicken patties with spices, and included a few pakora chips. I didn't know about the promotion, but it fit my plan to try every type of bowl! The bowls are customized at the counter, adding sauteed peppers'n'onions, black beans, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, hummus, chickpeas, etc. I usually keep it simple. They are very generous with their signature white sauce and you might want to ask for less, and the green sauce is tasty too. The pakora chips are very good, I recommend anyone skip the french fries this time to try them instead. I wasn't a fan of the pita, thick and without much flavor. The fish had just the right amount of coating and was very good. I'd skip the chicken kofta, it was too dry. Overall, good.
