I come to Darvish quite often. While their food is nothing of the overwhelmingly spectacular sort, it is homey and comforting, and that's perhaps what's most charming about this place.
It has become somewhat of a set protocol for my boyfriend and I to come here and order a kashk-o-bademjoon (eggplanty appetizer served with bread), a stew dish of some sort, and a glass of doogh. We tried the kabobs once, but they weren't exactly memorable, so I won't further elaborate on those.
Although I normally love gheymeh-polo, the most outstanding main dish we've tried so far at Darvish would be the baghali-polo. A steamed lamb shank, the meat was oh-so-moist and juicy, falling right off the bone. And of course, the juices from the meat were mmm good with the fava bean and dill rice.
3-stars for food. +1 star for the lady managing the front. Sweetest person ever.
