Eggplant for starters, baghala polo (tender medium rare lamb fillet) for main course. The lamb is the most succulent and tender I've had in the United States! Highly recommended!!! Thank you Sia ;)

Try the charbroiled chicken marinated with saffron & lemon juice, served with rice & black cherries. Joseph is an excellent waiter.

Nice exotic Persian cuisine, mix of flavors but recommended if you want to try something different. We ordered the classics and were simply great.

Got the "World Famous" chicken. Lived up to the hype! Real tasty.

The food is delicious, but portion sizes are huge, so be sure you either have a monstrous appetite, a deep love of leftovers or a friend to share with.

Persian food hits its finest peak with deeply marinated chicken skewers and tenderly simmered lamb shank, served within an elegant, tranquil dining room.

Don't bother getting meat entries other than chicken. The chicken is amazing, everything else is just passable.
Chris RoseFebruary 26, 2011
Incredibly good food. Tip: if you're not a big eater, split an entree. The portions are pretty large.
