Description
Run by lovely owners, the venue styles itself as a Persian Cultural House celebrating traditional hospitality. The kitchen turns out dishes like Ash Reshte, Kabab Tabei, and Sosis Bandari. While the atmosphere is well-received, the team is working through some standard new-opening pacing issues, with guests noting that dishes can occasionally arrive all at once.
