    I had one of my best food experience there. I had their Fesenjan stew and my wife got ghorme Sabzi stew, it was amazing and it was our first time trying Persian stews. Definitely come back to try more food!

    Soltani ( 1 skewer of Koobideh and 1 skewer of Barg) Ghormeh Sabzi (Beef) Gheymeh Bademjan (Beef)

    Amazing and fresh food and ! 10/10 experience dining in with them Very good service and very kind owner and staff

    The chicken kabob is consistently undercooked. Please see the attached photo and always ask for meat to be cooked well done.

    Absolutely the freshest cooked food around.. great customer service and the employees keep the restaurant very clean.. thank you

    I ate before taking this picture and as you can see, still have a lot of food leftover. Great portion size!!

    After a work shift, I wanted something that was healthy but fast and this place did not disappoint! Made a call-in order for their Saturday Sultani special and side of an appetizer. Sultani: / stars. A little on the salt by side but very edible, soft, delicious. This meat is expensive (~$40+) so I was over the moon to learn it was only $20.99 here! Portion size is incredible. I swapped my rice for full Persian salad and they were happy to do this at no extra charge! Appetizer: came with fresh bread. Chefs kiss! Workers were fun to chat with as I was waiting for the food. Great people, clean store, and nice all around vibes.

    Oh wow. We had to come by again while in town because of how much we loved it last time. They did not disappoint. Excellent service and the food was so delicious that I can't even move anymore because I ate so much. I switched it up today and for the adas polo morgh. He got his soltani and loved it. Mine came with loads of raisins and dates. It was so packed with flavor that I couldn't stop myself. Bonus bits of potato tahdig. The chicken was lightly spiced and juicy. The adas polo was perfectly cooked. The rice grains were long and perfect and the rice was cooked exactly the way it should be. Portion sizes were massive and I couldn't finish my food. Served with bread and a nice mast r khiar. It was thick and tangy. The surprise of the day was zayton parvardeh and it was so amazingly. It reminded me of an olive version of fesenjan. Tasted amazing with the adaa polo and morgh. You'd never believe this is fast food because everything tastes like home. I urge you to come here if you love Persian cuisine. It's the closest to Iranian home cooking in the area.

    4.5 Burgers were high quality and made to order. The service was friendly and the place was clean. I would come back again.

Menu has a great selection of meats and kabobs to select from in addition to apps! I opt for the saffron chicken that pairs with saffron rice (can opt to have salad as well) and this was amazing!!! Chicken was extremely flavorful & juicy (for chicken breast especially!) the rice was fluffy & tasty (perhaps had some butter mixed in) I wish there was so sort of sauce to pair with this meal but still amazing.

They were super busy when we arrived so it took about 10 minutes to check on us but were very apologetic. All good. The setting is very casual so not a romantic first date setting, but the food is delicious so if you want to impress via taste buds, then give it a try. Everything looked so good so we all tried different dishes for a wider experience. For starters we had tahdig, which I think is a must-try. I've wanted to try tahdig for awhile now and this hit my spot. For my meal, I had the pesto chicken kabobs, upgraded with shirin sweet polo rice, which was amazing on its own. One of my kids had the kadoo, which was also delicious. My wife had the bademjan, another winner. Also tried were the fesenjan, among other dishes. Again, everything was great.

So is the Vegetarian platter and tasting menu, aushak, quroti, and turnovers. You cant go wrong with saffron rice or the rice with carrots and raisins. Enough reviews already mention the four dips and soft bread, a cross between middle eastern bread and focaccia. Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes. The pistachio and cardamom are the best, not too sweet, light, moist, and fragrant. Of course we devoured the food before taking pictures but a couple attached.

The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order. I was quickly seared and within a couple minutes one server had brought me water as well as fresh tandoori bread and a delicious spicy green sauce to go with it. A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.

After another long delay, the replacement finally arrived, but the experience of cold food and repeated delays was completely disappointing.

They also ordered an appetizer of some kind of yogurt dip and that was the dish my sisters raved about as she recommended this spot. For me, I ordered the fish kabobs that came with dill rice and flava beans. Which consisted of a bunch of rice and 3 pieces of salmon. Was very dry in my opinion and really could use some kind of sauce/dressing to jazz it up. If I ever ventured back here I'd probably sub the rice for salad. The baklava was pretty good too! For that and the tea, I would definitely venture back. Happy Yelping!
