Patrons love the "flavorful" and "well-prepared" Persian dishes, including the lamb shank and Maydoon Bowl. The ambiance is casual yet elegant, perfect for gatherings. While some find it noisy, the "friendly staff" and "reasonable prices" make it a must-visit.

    Special occasion or dinner/drinks with friends/co-workers, this place has you covered. We did not visit for jazz yet, its in the plans, but did enjoy a wonderful evening for a special occasion. Working with Bonnie to make a reservation for our big party was a pleasure. She is absolutely amazing in every aspect of her job and personal skills. Staff is very warm and welcoming. Food was brought out quickly along with drinks, and bread/water refills were done before anyone had to ask for it. We were well taken care of. Food is delicious. They have veggies, seafood and grilled meats, along with amazing drinks. Even those that are underage, can enjoy a non-alcoholic drink, which is not a coke or pepsi, which is a plus. We highly recommend this place, and will definitely be back soon.

    very good food, huge portions; think about sharing, but the menu is so broad and appealing it will be hard to do. Busy on a Thursday night, heavily attended by the persian community of Sacramento; bustling is the term. feels like a happy place. A definite "must try" for sacramento, particularly if you are a fan of lamb meats. Casual.

    Food was pretty good. The ambiance feels kind of cafeteria like. The service was very slow and the drinks were very weak.

    We've been here quite a few times, and the food and experience is consistently great. I leave pleasantly full but never heavy. Everything is balanced and flavorful. Menu is priced fairly for what they are offering.
