   The food (kabobs) were delicious but the Lamb shank was not . It was too much fat on the lamb jeopardizing the flavor as my friend that was visiting complained badly . He is a world traveler and a foodie . Other than that it was fine. In case I take someone for dinner I will not recommend this dish .

   I absolutely loved the food! It reminded me of the best flavors of Iran. Delicious, authentic, and full of warmth. A truly wonderful experience!

   For context my visit was a busy Saturday night, and unfortunately for my visit my group had to wait over an hour to be sat for our reservation. The restaurant had clearly allowed too many reservations. To add to this, many, many tables were sitting at their tables already paid up, and not being turned over which made things worse. You cannot do both, and sadly the wait was so bad that even the small deduction from the check could not save things.

   We love this restaurant for the food, ambience and extraordinary service …. portions are really great ( so sick of other restaurants that charge high prices for “small plates’!). Jack is a phenomenal manager … treats us like we are family ❤️. Last night we had Zack as our server, his first night, and he was exceptional!

   Food was very good. Service was attentive. A billing error (one item charged twice) was quickly fixed. But the place was REALLY loud—hard to have a conversation.

   Great food always and service is good. My friends and I go once a month. Sometimes it feels rushed because reservations are timed. All in all, highly recommend.

    Great food and excellent service! The Chilean Sea Bass and hanger steak were grilled to perfection. My new favorite cocktail is the SS Poet. It was flavorful and something to look forward to on my next visit.
