| - Saw a post on blogTO raving about the place, read the 5-star reviews on Yelp AND TripAdvisor.. and I was so confused. My date and I came with high expectations, but the restaurant didn't deliver. Don't get me wrong, service was excellent, the ambiance and music of the restaurant set the perfect mood for a date night, and the complimentary appetizers (warm, crispy bread, cheese, pickles, cashews... okay, the cashews were kind of strange since they were bland and soaked) started the meal off strong.
But when it came to our entrees, we were a little less than disappointed. My date got the Koofteh Tabrizi, and I got the Ghormeh Sabzi. I really want to give our meals the benefit of the doubt, but we both found the food fairly bland, and I was reaching for the salt shaker more than once. Maybe we came on the wrong night, maybe we ordered the wrong things - I don't know.
The price is not terrible, but definitely wasn't worth the $17-20/person for the meal considering the taste and quantity. Would not go back to try it again.
Everything, aside from entrees, is 9/10. However, food is pretty important and definitely didn't live up to the hyped-up reviews, so 5/10.
