    Rice with fave beans
    Raha M.

    The worst was sour cherry rice that was definitely not what is shown in the poplular photos of it. It had almost no sour cherry (maybe 2 or 3) and was extremely oily. The koobideh and shank was ok. The plate size was weirdly small. The service was great though. We had saffron ice cream for dessert which was again just ok, didn't worth not the price nor the calories spent. We also had Mirza ghasemi for appetizers which was basically oily fried eggplants, not mirza ghasemi!!

    Fig mojito
    Tanya A.

    So what makes this a one and done? Let me tell you... Server is abrupt. No introduction just are we ready? Tabbouleh was salty. Overpowered the flavors. Good enough to eat but barely. Mirza/Eggplant dip nothing to write home about. It was served hot and tasted like mashed eggplant. Pita was fresh and warm. Lamb kebab has no stick. No chunks of nice juicy tender lamb. It was thinly sliced thumb length pieces of lamb at a whopping price of $30. Was it good. Yes. Was it worth $30? No. Dark meat chicken. Described as marinated in onions, tomatoes and lemon juice. So naturally I expected it to be served with onions and tomatoes. The chicken although tender was the size of an infants fist. Got about five of these baby fists. Both dishes were served with rice. Server said I had a choice. So we chose rice w dill and favas. But beware for some reason there was a $4 charge for this. And the rice takes up one whole side of the plate. I get so frustrated when restaurants do this. It's like they're compensating for the dish. Again server wasn't friendly. Didn't ask at any point how are food was. Did ask if we wanted dessert. No Brought us a little tasting from the kitchen that tasted like cotton candy. This was a nice surprise. Ordered 2 drinks. A pomegranate and fig mojito. Both were watered down. I can deal with the lack of alcohol flavor but they imparted no flavor of their moniker. Pomegranate looked the part but did not taste it. The fig had one half of a dried up fig at the bottom. It tasted like a fig newton lol. But there is no way to expect it to add flavor. The ratios for these drinks were totally off. Maybe I shouldn't write this while I'm upset. I mean at least 20 minutes went by when the waiter dropped off the "dessert" with no check and never returned. So yeah, I'm mad. If I had a better server who was friendly like his counterparts I could've enjoyed the meal more. But sadly it's not the case.

    Great place to come for dinner- me and my husband actually came here on Valentine's Day and the place was decorated with balloons and had a cozy intimate vibe. They did not have a prefix Valentine's Day menu- which we were happy about! The waiter brought a basket of fresh rolls that was to die for. The saffron rice with chicken was delicious and I would highly recommend when coming here! Will definitely be back.

    Inside view

    Staff were very polite and helpful, the food was cold and not the best tasting. I would score my meal very average. Consider placing salt and paper on each table so we don't have to waste time and ask for it. Salt and pepper is a must on Persian tables. The ambiance looks cozy and very New York. I'm sure it could be entertaining on weekend nights. I recommend you improve your kababs, best wishes. Again super polite and friendly staff. Thank you

    Apparently is a place coups have been planned... not sure if that's true but the internet lore of this place serving historic Persian food doesn't disappoint! Got the lemon chicken and the beef both really good and it's interesting all of the different types of rice there are to choose from... the Lima bean rice choice is a great one but if you want something sweet go for the cherry one! You can also go halfsies which is fun

The service was fast the location was clean the bartender was cool so honestly I have to go back and try every other beer I definitely feel like I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to only cause this was my forth bar. But next time I go it will definitely be the best I go to and enjoy more cause I would've definitely enjoyed it more if it wasn't a location while I was bar Hopping if you are near queens plaza or long island city and you wanted to visit the bar / brewery please go it's a good experience and a good brewery.

And for me wings and beers make the perfect combination I definitely highly recommend coming here especially if you are in the area please check out the huntress it's an enjoyable experience.

Love the bar stools at this place tho, they have backs and the chair is cushioned! I appreciate a good back to a barstool. I ended up coming a few days later and the vibe was much better. The bartenders must have just been tired from their previous shift that one Thursday. They were really great on a Saturday. The happy hour is pretty nice $5 for shot and $10 for a marg. ::bathroom alert::: Very inconvenient when you're at the bar. It's like a maze getting down there. The bathroom is clear tho, I'll give them that. They were playing live music for like 90 minutes. There was literally no one at this bar on a Thursday night, so much for thirsty Thursday. Theres a section off to the left that has a pool table and connect four. On a Saturday night they are playing Spanish music, most people know Spanish music and drinking is super fun!! I can totally see why this place doesn't have a lot of pictures. I don't see how a lot of people wouldn't it is cozy. At the end of the day this places prices are reasonable for this area. They get the five stars because the music was good and the prices were good. $7 for an ipa isn't so bad.

The main reason I'm writing this review, though, is about the service. We were a party of seven, including a toddler who became a bit fussy toward the end of the meal. To be fair, he was making some noise--but the restaurant itself is already fairly loud and buzzy. When we tried to order dessert, our waiter told us there was "a dessert place down the street, Spot Dessert Bar, also Thai-owned." The comment felt odd and, frankly, like we were being encouraged to leave. Shortly after, he returned to say the toddler was being too loud, which led his mother to take him outside while we waited for our dessert (thank god they allowed us to order some! :| ). I understand that the noise was occasionally disruptive, but if a restaurant provides high chairs, it signals that families are welcome--and young children can get restless. Given that we spent close to $600 for our party, the situation could have been handled with more tact and courtesy. We started the evening satisfied but ultimately left disappointed. I wouldn't go back because of this experience.
