The meat is always delicious! There hamburgers are 1/3 pound and they do garlic fries! Definitely a yummy spot but also no frills. They have some outdoor seating and have tried to make it pleasant despite its less than favorable location.

Stopped here for a casual dinner and loved the food! We got the Family A meal and it was so much food, easily enough for 2-3 adults, maybe even 4 if anyone isn’t overly hungry. We definitely took home leftovers to enjoy later.

Was nervous to try this place bc of the mixed reviews but glad we rolled the dice. We love their family option. I had never had koobideh and it’s delicious! We get 4 beef koobideh skewers & 2 veggie skewers. Comes with rice & salad & grilled tomato. We did not love the chicken or lamb skewers. They were a little dry.

Had 3 kabobs with the family meal. All tasted great but they were out of yogurt sauce which would have added even more to the flavor. Very large portions. Good drinks as well.

Food was simple, tasty, but quite expensive. Maybe I am just out of touch, the pics show a $26 Lunch to go.

Decent Persian food, unassuming location. We had kabob kaboodie (generous portion with a lot of good rice) and a Khoresh Ghormeh Safzi beef stew which was decent, albeit with no tahdig (you have to order that separately). No-nonsense service ;-).
