| - The Persian Room was a great choice for our rehearsal dinner, and they were quick to accommodate our group of 30+ with a week's notice. They placed us upstairs, and we had the whole area to ourselves.
For 30$/person, we got soft drinks/sodas, a couple of appetizers, plenty of rice, and multiple meats. The appetizers we got were: shallot/yogurt dip, hummus, and tadig w/stew. I usually love tadig (have had it previously as well), but this time it wasn't nearly as good. Maybe it's because the stew wasn't served on top of the crispy rice? I'm not sure. The other appetizers were fine.
There was a long lag between the appetizer courses and the mains, but it was worth the wait. Everyone loved the meats - chicken kebab, chicken pieces, beef kabobs (koobideh), and whole beef pieces. Everyone was served individual enormous plates of rice as well. The rice is addicting! There were also a couple of grilled tomatoes as well.
They packed all the leftovers up for us, and there was about 6 or 7 boxes for us (breakfast the next day).
4 stars: excellent mains, provided options for vegetarians, service, accommodating on short notice.
minus 1 star: tadig not up to regular standards, would have appreciated a group menu (were told that it doesn't exist?) to make choices.
