Had dinner here on Saturday with my family and some friends. When I was told we would be eating here I checked Yelp to see what was good and was horrified by the reviews. I had very low expectations of the dinner going in but I thought it was great!
We were a group of 6 with no reservations but we showed up around 830 and were seated within 5 minutes.
Most of the other diners in the restaurant were Persian as was our server. The food did take some time to come out (I was really hungry), maybe 10-15 min after ordering. They were out of the zeitoun parvardeh (marinated olives) which was a bummer but the rest of the meal was very positive:
1- the bread they bring with the appetizers is yummy, they brought us two pieces twice, the second round was piping hot and delicious
2- the apps were amazing, I liked the ghormeh sabzi over tadig best, the khashkeh bademjan was great too. The mizehghassemi was yummy but maybe a little under salted which is fine bc sometimes it can be too salty, it was super garlicky which I don't mind but some at our table did. The mastomoussir was also very mild.
3- we had a vegetarian in our group who was really happy, there were a good amount of options for him. For his main he had the veg kabob with baghali polo.
4- I had the kabob Torsh with half salad half rice (btw this half salad half rice is massive bc u get like a cup of rice and a huge bowl of salad). My kabob was good but I will be honest I have had better juicer kabob Torsh. My friend had the soltani and the koobideh was incredible, so juicy and flavorful! I had plate envy!! His barg was excellent as well
5- the portions are generous, getting apps and mains (1 per person) is way too much food. Would recommend 1 app per person and 1 main between every two
