The kebab looked really appetizing but was a little under seasoned for me. I saw two other tables with locals that seasoned their food with salt so perhaps it's more of a customer preference than a seasoned meat on the grill. I counted one guy who shook the salt shaker 21 times, which I thought was excessive. Maybe the salt isn't too salty. I added some on mine. I'm comparing this to another middle eastern place near my place. I may consider another dish to try if I go back.

There is a parking lot and waiting area with small tables if you decided you couldn't wait any longer to dig in! When you arrive, there's a screen to track your order. There are also people at the counter to help if you need it. The Koobideh is deliciously seasoned and moist....as it can be dry from other restaurants. The chicken was also flavorful and delicious. The saffron rice is tasty. This may be not be traditional but I doused both with some tzatziki sauce and it made the meal that much tastier. Chicken wings were ok but seemingly lacking a bit of flavor. The garlic dipping sauce is powerful...use sparingly. Definitely give it a try! So wonderful to be walking distance to yummy Persian food.

The gyro meat here is, IMO the true star, and when paired with their fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion and sauces it truly shines. It offers the right balance of pepper, hint of spiciness, alongside a nice crisp savory meatiness that can only be achieved on a proper vertical spit. My extra piece of advice, is get the spicy green sauce on the side. It offers that little extra jalapeño oomph alongside their creamy tzatziki and it's a perfect balance. Bit expensive to dine here for lunch too often so I try to keep it to every few weeks, but what a treat it is when I do allow myself to eat here for lunch. 5/5 goodness guaranteed!

The service was great and friendly. Prices are reasonable. If you're not big on tart food, then don't get the dowjic soup because it has a lot of lemon juice. The soup was good with bread to tame down the tartness. The food was flavorful and not overpowering with spices like Indian cuisine.

The menu is small and the plating very basic, but the food is packed with flavor. Tried the chicken fesunjan and one other stew. The meat was cut so small that it blended into the rest of the dish, but was very tender. And the dish colors aren't the most visually appealing but they smell great. The experience feels more like home cooking than restaurant food - dishes prioritize flavor over appearance. And the ambience is very basic and a little stark, but the family is very friendly and welcoming.
