Renovations were completed for 2 months before I got a chance to try. Appears to be under new ownership as well. The food is definitely head and shoulders above what it used to be.
The place has nice decor, very homey and relaxing atmosphere. In terms of price, it is around $5 more on average per plate than most Persian places I've visited. Compares to kababsara which is just down the street, the flavors of kebab and chicken I ordered were less intense and likely less salt. This isn't to say it's bad, as if isn't. It's really good if you want ot taste the flavor of the ground beef and chicken a bit more as opposed to herbs and spices. It trades away the salad I could get at kababsara with more rice.
The rice was fluffy and had quite good texture and aroma.
Overall the place is a rock solid 4 out of 5, mainly due to the higher price compared to other similar restaurants. This could be because it is in a busy interaction with building sold to new owners just a year ago.
Would I go again and should you give it a try? While it's a nice atmosphere, i always value quality and quantity of food more than decor. I would go if I wanted a nicer sit down place with friends or going on a date. Otherwise, there is better value to be found elsewhere.
