MARANA/TUCSON LOCATION: I'm adding this only for this specific location since there is no yelp set up for this new location yet. However I'm told it is the same owner.
Here goes.... we had GREAT service, hence the review is not about service. The young man was very knowledgeable about the menu especially since we are vegan. We love Persian food. But the vegan concoction that sounded so amazing on the menu was literally the worst thing I've ever smelled or tasted. The description of eggplant with okra and mint, in a subtle tomato sauce with herbs sounded like heaven come to earth. Well. This was horrible. They forgot to mention the dehydrated and rotten limes they put in the sauce to rehydrate and the horrid smell thy should only be smelled coming out of the restroom.
No chef should ever send something out that s/he hasn't first tasted and smelled. If it smells like dirty ass, and tasted like I'd imagine dirty ass would taste, well... as they say, it's probably dirty ass.
This place needs their chef to have cooking lessons in not just vegan food but food that shouldn't smell or taste like ass.
