"0"^^ . . "1"^^ . "Actually we ended up here because it used to be a sushi place that my friend was fond of but hadn't been to in a while. Lo and behold, it closed and turned into Pars...we were hungry and too lazy to drive somewhere else, so we ended up eating here.\n\nThe decor has a Persian flair, but you can still see elements of it being a Japanese place (the sushi bar is still there)\n\nThey give you a weird amuse bouche of pita bread and raw onions...weird, but I'm a fan of both and together it was oddly good. We were ready to order an entree each. but the waiter (I think the owner) suggested we get one of their combo platters and split it (we were 3 people). We got the shish kabob platter ($29) which came with lamb, chicken and koobideh, rice and salad. PLENTY of food for all 3 of us, including some to take home. The meat was all expertly spiced and cooked, and the rice was out of this world. The waiter (again, I think owner) was very attentive to us and the other diners.\n\nAll in all, a very enjoyable meal...great food and great service. The waiter (once again, the owner) suggested we spend a lot less there at his own expense...you don't see that often. \n\nOh yeah, they have a full bar...\n\neasily 5 stars"^^ .
