| - Have had their Chicken Filet Sultani (comes with one set of chicken and a second of koobideh) and their Gormeh Sabzi.
The portions are fairly large, which is nice.
The meals have a reasonable amount of flavor, comparable to Persian cuisine I've had in other parts of the country.
The koobideh was delicious, as was the Gormeh Sabzi.
The chicken filet (aka marinated boneless white meat chicken) kabob can be hit or miss. One time it was decent. On a second visit, the quality of the meat was poor (quite fatty) and about half of it was inedible. I've found this is often the case with chicken kabob regardless of restaurant, but that still doesn't excuse it.
The rice portion was good on both visits. It was of perfect consistency (soft, fluffy, hot).
The salad that comes as part of the lunch meals was well made and the amount of dressing included was perfect.
The waiter was very polite and accommodating.
For those who look to eat Gluten Free, beware that they are not very proactive with this. You have to ask the waiter in order for him to tell you that, for example, the bread they bring you is -NOT- gluten free.
While the waiter will tell you this if you ask, the other help that brings out the water and the bread does not seem to be aware of this fact and I observed them tell a guest that asked, that yes, the bread was gluten free. (As soon as the help walked away, I let that party know before they ate it that it's not actually gluten free.)
Anyway, overall I plan to continue to come back, and the lunch portion and pricing seems to be the best combination (as of this writing, they only offer that menu on weekdays during specific hours). The dinner menu pricing, in effect even at lunchtime on weekends, is a fair bit more expensive for essentially the same nice large portion of food.
On both visits (one a weekday during lunchtime, the other a Saturday during lunchtime) there were a handful of other parties present, so they are doing some business, but there was no wait or need for reservations. Not sure if that might change at dinnertime.
