| - I decided we should go check out this new Persian restaurant that opened up in Mesa. Looked pretty inexpensive, ratings were good, and Persian food is bomb so I thought why not go?
We walk in and it's DEAD. Not only is there no one sitting at any of the tables, but it's DEAD quiet. No music going or anything. Someone comes out and I ask him if they're open for dinner. He says that they are, but informs me that their buffet starts at 9pm (we arrived at 7pm). I wasn't even aware that this place did a buffet, as their website and Facebook page made no mention of this. Well, we were already there, so might as well get a table and give it a chance.
We pick a table and the same guy is apparently also our waiter.....but a horrible one. Not a rude one, by any means, but severely untrained. And now that I think about it, I believe that was the reason he mentioned the buffet to us.....this guy was probably only hired to pick up plates and clean tables during the buffet. He couldn't take orders without writing down the entire name of the entrée and repeating them back to us (which took forever), he couldn't pronounce certain names properly (like he pronounced the T on the end of Merlot and Cabernet), my boyfriend asked for a drink WITH his dinner and got it like 15 minutes BEFORE our dinner arrived, I was asked if I wanted a refill on my wine, and instead of waiting for me to finish what I had in my glass, he immediately took it from me to refill it, so I ended up not getting my money's worth on the wine.....pretty chaotic.
I know, it sounds like I'm being harsh, but that's not all! About ten minutes after we sit down, a DJ comes in to start playing some Persian music. Cool, it's not going to be dead quiet in here anymore. NO, INSTEAD IT GOT REALLY LOUD REALLY FAST. We literally went from whispering to shouting within a matter of seconds. I mean, when you've got only four guests in the entire restaurant, I feel like that's something you DON'T want to do. Not only that, but the volume level kept shifting up and down every few minutes, mid-song.....so sometimes the music would be kind of loud, sometimes it would be super loud, without warning, no rhyme or reason whatsoever.
Inexperienced waiter, inexperienced DJ, weird experience. The food was alright. Not great, but not bad either. Definitely not worth the awkward experience, though.
