"5"^^ . "1"^^ . "The first thing you notice is the Super freindly staff. They really make you feel like a guest in their home, which is true Persian hospitality.\nVery clean restaurant with an elegant flare.\nEasy to navigate and well laid out menu allows for minimal confusion and good descriptions of the different dishes.\nI had the kashke bademjan for an appetizer which was enough for 5 people! It was very tasty with the pita bread.\nFor an entr\u00E9e I had the sultani meal with an extra chef special chicken kabob skewer. It came with rice and salad. The kabobs were some of the best I have ever had. Super tender, juicy and flavorful. All the meat is ground/pounded/and skewered to order making it that much better. \nThe owner came out afterwards and offered me a very warm welcome to his restaurant and offered me some dessert and Persian chai. The homemade saffron ice cream was great! He was telling me about the belly dancers that entertain the diners on weekends and that the comedian Maz Jobrani is going to be making an appearance there soon which is very cool!\nThe bill was actually a lot less than I expected compared to other Persian restaurants, especially for the amount of food that I received. I ended up boxing up more than half of it to enjoy for lunch tomorrow.\nOverall an excellent experience. Next time I'm in the Phoenix area I will def be hitting up 1001 nights again. \nIf you have never tried Persian food, I highly recommend this place."^^ . . . . "2016-01-18T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
