I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It was empty and our ONLY waiter would disappear in the back and have attitude with us, NEVER COMING BACK. The food wasn’t anything great either and they had no lamb as a middle eastern resturant 🤦🏾‍♂️

This place is almost dead. I was there about 5 years ago because I love Good Persian food. This is very mediocre. I wish we had a good Persian restaurant nearby.

The food is exceptional, but service is always lack luster. I went to dinner and the combo plate with Persian tea. There were two different male servers, both acted like they could not wait to leave. Never offered to refill the tea when I was there. I’ll probably try take out next time so I don’t have to deal with the staff as much.
