The beef tenderloin was somewhat over cooked, but ell the other kebobs were cooked perfectly. I'm a sucker for Persian stews. The Gheymeh and the sabzi were both amazing. The lamb shank was also amazing with lots of nice spices. The roast eggplant was delicious.

The owners work with you to make sure you get everything you want for your event. Everything from their "zaboon" sandwiches, to their "kashk-e-bademjan", to their "kotlets" are all delectable. My family also enjoys their rice and stews as take-out. Definitely keep them in mind if you're looking for a catered event because they will bring everything they've got to the table.

It is a large place and the bread is baked on the premises. The bread alone makes this a 4 Star. In the morning it is tantalizing fresh, and has a great 'hot bread aroma'. When this is combined with the double cream bulgarian feta that they sell for less than about $ 6.00/lbs., and few olives you have the making of a great breakfast. On one of their promotions they gave away pergamot preserve. This is the fruit that is used to flavour Earl Grey Tea, and it is delicious. I have become a fan, and its great over plain yogurt or ice cream. An interesting and varied place with fantastic Persian Bread.

I am so glad I did because this place makes their kebabs so well! I like that the kebabs are juicy and flavorful, even when microwaved the next day! They definitely use really good tomatoes because it is not grainy at all. My make it or break it experiences is the tomatoes to be honest, and the first bite of the tomato was perfect I don't like when the kebabs are dry, and Zaffron makes sure their kebabs are moist & super tender. I haven't been inside to know the vibes but I will definitely be ordering again from now on.

But I may try it at Persian Top Meal after dining here a few times now. I have tried their koobideh and their chicken koobideh as they had Koobideh Mix (beef and chicken koobideh) on their menu. I love how they flavor their koobideh and how tender/juicy it is. I was VERY hesitant in trying their chicken koobideh as I've never had it before and because I know their beef koobideh is amazing but I was so glad to try them out. At the end of the meal, it was hard to decide which one I liked more. They were both amazing. The service was also prompt and the vibe of the place was relaxing, making it easy for anyone to visit the place.

I absolutely would not recommend takeout or delivery. Essential Dining Tips * Skip the rice: The traditional serving is perfect as is. You only need the kebab and the delicious bread underneath it. * Must try: Their Ghormeh Sabzi is deeply comforting and tastes exactly like home. The Masto Mosir is also excellent, featuring a light garlic balance that won't ruin the rest of your day. Unbeatable Hospitality Beyond the food, the customer service is warm, friendly, and truly homey.

Just when I thought this place couldn't get any better... this chef has really kicked things up a notch!! I'm especially happy that they prepare tahdig style rice now too! Delish!!! Honestly, my love affair with this restaurant continues and it's still my favourite place to go after all these years. I didn't realize that I only had them sitting at a 4-star rating... after all these years of feeding me, my family and friends, I can't rate them any other that a solid 5-stars!

They recently gave it a face lift and made the restaurant cozy and very welcoming, and I must say it gets better and better every time I go there. They offer a wide range of pizzas, sandwiches and other Persian specialties like Ash-e Reshte, Halim and kookoo sabzi. The first few times I went I placed orders for my husband and I, I saw how quick and pleasant their service was so, I decided to order for a party I was having. I ordered large 6 pizzas and told the young man I would be there for 7 to pick up. When I arrived they had a few people in line ordering so I thought my order wasn't ready as it was their rush period. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the very sweet and lovely young lady at the front, she told me my order was ready, and they were putting the last pizza in the box! EXCELLENT time management.They offered my a side of their specialty olives on the house, and helped me take everything to my car. The pizzas all had generous amounts of toppings on them and were all full of flavour. My guest loved the pizzas and a few became regulars after trying it. They drizzle some ketchup which gives it a really awesome flavour. ASK FOR THEIR GARLIC SPECIAL SAUCE OMG!!!! IT IS SOOOO GOOD Thank you very much!!!!!
