Great food and super nice staff! I’ve tried a few different dishes here and they’ve all been delicious. The Beef Soltani is my go to, highly recommend!

I came here for dinner. I left with a near-religious experience and a deep understanding of my digestive system. Ordered the kebab koobideh. At the time it seemed normal. Tasted dryish. Nothing suspicious. Little did I know I had just signed a contract with chaos dressed in a black dress. About 6 hours later my stomach started making noises that sounded like a washing machine full of bricks. By midnight I was sprinting to the bathroom like an Olympic athlete. At 3AM I achieved a level of speed and panic previously thought impossible for the human body. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t rest. I simply existed… moving between my bed and the toilet like a tragic side quest. At one point I sat on the bathroom floor, staring into the distance, whispering to myself: “Was the kebab worth it?” It was not. Service was also incredible… in the sense that the staff managed to completely disappear the moment we needed anything. Water? Gone. Waiter? Gone. Hope? Also gone. Honestly the kebab gave me such an intense life experience that I now know exactly how astronauts feel during rocket launch: extreme pressure, violent turbulence, and a lot of praying. Would I come back? Only if my toilet asked me to stop seeing other restaurants. 1 star because Google won’t let me give negative stars.

Excellent food and service. The best Iranian kebab I’ve had in the states so far.

My mother, step father, and I ate there over a year ago. They kindly asked me to leave a review on Yelp—I don't have Yelp. And over time I forgot. My step father wants to eat there for Father's Day...so I'm leaving a long overdue review now. The food is delicious, larg portions, place is clean and family owned— the main things I look for when choosing a restaurant.

This is not a restaurant I would ever go back to again. It is clear this is an old restaurant, and it was not clean at all, with cobwebs near the window. The cups were a cheap plastic, the service wasn't the best and there weren't many customers either for it to excuse the lack of effort. It was generally unclean for a restaurant and made the food look unpleasant. There are other restaurants that are better than this one to go to, this one was nothing special. A restaurant shouldn't feel like a fast food place.
