1. They changed the name to Hafez.
Wonderful. The 8 yr old said ,'It's the best place in the world.' We have never eaten Persian food before. This was excellent. We got a large player of kabobs. Grilled tomato and Serrano peppers along side. Loved the different flavors. Served with raw white onion with a spice shaken over it and rice with saffron.
Sometimes when you try a new food it is just too different to judge if you like it or not? Not tonight! I squeezed lemon over everything, added the onion and my mouth was smiling.
We had twin 2year olds and an 8 year old with us. I couldn't believe how much the twins gobbled up! They kept eating and eating.
Don't forget dessert- baklava and saffron,rose & pistachio ice cream. The ice cream was so so different, nothing like I've ever had before. I couldn't stop eating it. A little too different for the children so they devoured the baklava instead, leaving ice cream for us adults.
The owner was gracious and made us feel comfortable.
I'm giving it a 5star because it's one of those restaurants I want to encourage. The tiny obscure gems that serve excellent food without the pretense. Real food.
Only happy faces and empty plates left this restaurant.
