Wow, this was a great stop. Of course, if you happen to be dining here with friends who are familiar with Iran and Persian cuisine more generally, it's even cooler. For example, one of my dining companions who was from Iran commented to the chef about the fine details of preparing fesenjaan (he preferred it cooked for hours and hours) while I just ate everything placed before me with the revelatory gusto of someone whose only other Central Asian eating experience was at the famous Helmand, a Karzai family-owned, Afghani restaurant in Mount Vernon, Baltimore (there is one in Boston, too). I ordered the lamb and had some great Shiraz as an accompaniment, then sipped an orange-scented tea with my desert. Superb.
