   I don’t write negative reviews often, and this is my first one about a restaurant. This was my second time here because the first visit was absolutely amazing. I took my mom this time for an early Mother’s Day celebration, and I was incredibly let down. The service was horrible. We barely saw our server and were constantly ignored. Our water was not refilled, only until the very end when we had already paid and were ready to leave (??!!). And when she refilled the water, she almost knocked over the glass and got her clothes in our food. There were more instances/examples. We felt like we were not welcome to dine here. The food itself was amazing. But due to the bad service, my family, friends, and myself will never be returning.

   Delicious food and great, prompt service on a Saturday night when the place was packed. All signs of good management. Will definitely come back whenever we happen to be in the area!

   We took our friends visiting from Chicago and we enjoyed our dinner and service. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our servers were very friendly and attentive. The wings app is lick your fingers delish! Also the cardamom cake was perfect end to our dinner.

   Best Persian cuisine in the U.S. with great service. The only complaint is their awkward seating assignments not being able to accommodate seating preferences by the hostess even with reservations.
