Disclaimer: I've worked here for years, so I'm obviously biased. So I'll give my perspective from behind the scenes. First, the chef/owner truly takes pride in his cooking and goes out of his way to get the best quality meat for his restaurant. I haven't worked here in quite some time but we still make it a point to go back several times a month. I can say that it's difficult to keep servers here because they really feel the ups and downs of the economy with where they're located, tucked away in the corner of Scottsdale. I have no doubt that if he moved into a larger restaurant in old town Scottsdale he'd be one of the most popular restaurants in the city consistently. As a middle eastern woman, I'm picky about my Persian food and his is the best. My recommendations are: Go there with a couple of friends so you can eat family style and really experience the food. Start with the Tah Dig (Go in the evening so it's available) with both toppings, then order the Pars Special with Zereshk Polo Rice. His cornish hen is to die for and his barberry rice (Zereshk) is absolutely the best I've ever had. End your meal with the homemade baklava and Persian tea or Greek coffee. Don't forget to try the Armenian wine for dinner (the bottle is well priced)
This meal is perfect for 4 people and you'll probably still have some to take home. Enjoy!
