Back to the food: absolutely delicious. Let's start with the drinks. I sampled both an Elderberry and a Mango version, both very nice, served in a tall glass with fresh mint and bits of fruit. The Elderberry was very light and refreshing with just a hint of sweetness, some pomegranat and the ever present mint. The Mango is noticibly sweeter, but not sticky sweet, with red currants and of course fresh mint in the glass.
We were served an welcome offering of flatbread, herbs including mint of course, goat cheese and radishes. You roll up the goodies in the bread and it is a quite interesting taste. Nice and fresh.
I had ordered #17, for the life of me I cannot remember the proper name of the dish, but it was a beef and chicken kebab. The meat was wonderfully tender and seasoned to perfection. Obviously marinated and grilled, but with what and how remains a mystery. It was savory but not spicy hot. Just great flavor and general consencus was that the chicken was even better than the beef.
The dish was served with a ton of safron rice topped with butter and a side of grilled tomatoes. The rice was plentiful and nicely done. And the butter on top rounded out the flavor well... then again, you can never go wrong with butter.
I did take a star off for the following reasons:
My friends thought the meat portion was a bit small, however there is an option to order additional meat, or go the route of ordering a platter to share... lots of meat there.
This is a hole in the wall establishment. Forget about atmosphere. While there are a few Persian accents in the decor, it is what it is, basically a strip mall type of setting German style.
Parking is attrocious, so much so that I would highly recommend using public transportation. There is a stop just a minutes walk away.
All in all I highly recommend this place to anybody looking to broaden their horizon.
