“ They know how to make it! After years I tried Persian food again and it was great! The staffs are so nice and friendly, you feel like you are meeting your friends. The decoration and atmosphere is perfect. Thank you, highly recommended! ”
“ I’ve been to other panini kabobs as they are delicious and well worth the price. I had ordered the 2 shish kabobs plate and instead of rice just doubled the strawberry salad. The salad is fresh and the portion was great! The only drawback was the wait for the food. We waited for quite a while for the food to arrive. But it’s worth the wait as it was tasty and reasonably priced. The family meals are amazing too. There is a garage parking lot that is free next to it. ”
“ We had a very delicious lunch. However, for some reason, there was a strange smell on the terrace. I don't think the restaurant is bad, but it bothered me a little. ”
“ We tried the chicken, beef, and lamb. I’d say the beef was my favorite, followed by the chicken—which my family actually preferred over the beef, unlike me. I wouldn’t recommend the lamb, as it was tasteless and chewy in my opinion. The wait was about 20–30 minutes. One thing that bothered us was the outdoor heater positioned directly above the seating area—it was extremely hot. They told us they couldn’t lower the heat since all the heaters are controlled by a single controller. After a while, we asked to be moved indoors because we couldn’t tolerate the heat, especially with it directly overhead. So I’d recommend sitting indoors if possible. ”
“ We had a great time! My husband, our son, and I went there for a family meal, and everything was fantastic. The kebabs were tender and full of flavor, and the fresh greens really added a nice touch. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and our son loved his meal too. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to! ”
