    Their Kalepache and salmon kabob is so good! One the best kalepache’s that I’ve ever had! Also cute cozy interior.

    If you order a kabob, get it with rice — it'll come with bread on the side anyway. And you can even get your kabob with half salad / half rice.

    Portions are big but mostly rice. Lamb skewers come with less meat than their beef counterparts. Tzatziki was watery. Mongolian waitress (I forget her name!) is sweet, her section is by the door.

    On the weekends, they have other Persian dishes on special. My favorite is the estamboli polo on Saturdays.

    Nice staff (Abbas Agha). I like the Lamb Soltani but Aash Reshteh was not very good.

    Try the homemade doogh yogurt drink. It's salty and sour with a hint of mint!

    The food is delicious, but the highlight of the meal were the desserts! The saffron ice cream is probably the best ice cream I've had in DC.

    The kabob is good but do yourself a favor order whatever the daily special is! Best traditional Persian food in the area. Get the Baghali Polo (with a giant lamb shank for 10$!!) dolmeh are great too!

    This is the place to go to for the best shish kebab in Arlington. They also make an amazing falooda Shirazi pictured.
