Every city we were in, she wanted me to YELP an Iranian restaurant because "at least we know what we are eating"...lol .. I was unable to review at the time because my phone was out of battery :-( What a great find in Paris! The service was welcoming and delightful. The food was superb! I had the salmon steak with vegetable medley (was doing the low-carb thing). The salmon was cooked to perfection! My Grandmother had the special of the day, which was lubia polo (green beans, tomato base, and meat rice) ... she enjoyed it ... of course, nobody does Persian food like my Momanee but this restaurant came close. I also loved the ambiance of this place. No pictures because out of battery, but I can still picture it in my head. All the French doors were open and cool breeze was mixed with conversations of happily fed people. We also met the owner and her family, very nice people! Best Persian food in Europe!

We came back here a second time because the food was delicious, but good food can easily be eclipsed by poor service, and that was the case the second time we came here. We were here for about two hours, most of that time was spent waiting. First, we waited to be served - both servers thought the other server had already helped us. Second, we waited for the food to come out. Finally, we waited for the check to come out. To elaborate on waiting for the check - we repeatedly asked our waiter for the check, and he kept telling us it would come soon but it never did. He rudely ignored us quite a few times when we tried to follow up. The other waiter (who was much more polite) explained to us that the delay was due to some issue in the kitchen - that explained the wait for the food earlier but we were waiting for the check, not food. Finally, we went up to the counter, saying that we would like to pay. The guy at the counter produced our bill and we paid immediately so we could leave. We noticed that other people were getting helped much faster than us. We weren't sure if they were snubbing us on purpose - either because we weren't Middle Eastern or because we spoke English - or if they were genuinely very swamped and we fell through the cracks. But for fine cuisine, for what we were paying, neither of these reasons is acceptable. There are plenty of other Persian restaurants in Paris - I recommend trying a different one.
