| - Really wanted to like this place, but my experience here was not too impressive.
It started off great - the decor is nice, we were greeted and seated promptly. Then out came a plate of basil and onion, with basket of delicious pita bread. This kept our appetites at bay, while we awaited our waitress.
Then it slid downhill... the waitress took awhile to get to our table and take our drink order. By the time she arrived, I had already eaten half my pita basket, browsed my iphone for meaning of Gheimeh (it means "stew" in Persian), played with game apps while my husband left for restroom, read entire menu together and decided on meal. Said waitress eventually arrived to get our full order, then we proceeded to wait some more. We made conversation and entertained ourselves for 25 minutes, then I started to notice how long we were sitting. That's when I began trying to make eye-contact with the waitress. Unfortunately, she breezed by our table several times without stopping. During this time, nary a glass was to be refilled. After 35 minutes, we noticed another table with a large party (that sat down after us) was getting their food. My husband actually suggested taking off - but I decided to wait it out. Finally, after 45 minutes, our food arrived.
We ordered the Vegetable Gheimeh (remember kids, that means "stew") and the Lamb Loin meal. Both entrees were just "ok". The stew had vegetables that were cooked down to imperceptible mush and the flavor was entirely blah. My husband's lamb entree was better, but also lacked much flavor. Basmati rice was prepared fine, but still nothing special. I didn't see or taste anything that would make me want to return.
Final verdict? Save your money and visit another restaurant. This one isn't horrible, but neither is it worth your time and money.
