I finally had the chance to stop in for a solo early dinner, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the Lule Kabob Combo ($22), which included skewers of minced beef and chicken, rice, veggies, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The highlights of the meal were definitely the salad and the grilled tomato; the pomegranate seeds in the rice were also a nice touch. However, the meats weren't to my taste--the chicken had an odd aftertaste, and while the beef was better, neither really worked for me. Adding the provided sumac and lemon helped, but I wouldn't order the kebabs again. Additionally, the hummus lacked creaminess, and the pita tasted like it was mass-produced rather than fresh. On the positive side, the portion sizes are very generous for the price point, and I left feeling full. I also have to mention that the patio is adorable and very "Instagrammable," so it's a great spot if you're looking for a photo-friendly environment. A quick note for future visitors: they are currently having issues with their card reader and are requesting cash or Zelle. It felt a little unusual to be rung up on a register only to pay via Zelle, but it wasn't a major deal. While I appreciated the atmosphere and value, the food itself just wasn't for me, so I likely won't be returning.

I'm so happy we tried this place - it's Westwood quality without having to drive all the way there. We tried their perfectly made kashkebaddmjoon, combo of chicken and beef shish kebab and chicken koobideh for my son. The food was chef's kiss. We parked in the front meter parking but there's valet available. The service was friendly - our waiter was a younger gentleman. The vibe is like a mixture of casual + fancy. Their restrooms are super duper clean - which I really appreciate as a person with ocd. Will definitely be back! Happy Nowrooz!

The Vala salad was one of my favorites--it had the perfect tangy flavor that complemented the meal really well. We also ordered a side of hummus, and it was so flavorful and creamy.

The restaurant is located in a shared parking lot, and the space was clean and inviting. The servers were extremely nice and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

We started off with Dolma and a fresh cherry refresher (I had never tired this drink its officially my favorite). The Naan was delicious don't dip it in the cucumber yogurt. The sides of mint and raw onion don't miss. For my main dish I had Chenjeh Kabobs with tasty filet mignon this staple dish wit take you straight to the Middle East. Try it with their signature cherry rice. The freshly cut cucumber and tomatoe salad is very crisp and a perfect side dish. I definitely will come back. Overall 5 star meal. The plates are pretty as well. With fresh cut flowers and plenty of food. There is parking underground so you don't have to take up time looking on the street just call and ask for instructions to get in.

The meat was SO GOOD - cooked so so well, came right off the bone, and mixed w the flavors so well. The vegetarians rated their dish as 3-4 out of 5. But I think the meat dishes really carried and are so worth trying. Not the most vegetarian options So maybe 5/5 for meat eaters and 3-4/5 for vegetarians! Defs recommend will be coming back

2 out of 5 stars…read more I've been to this restaurant several times with my Persian friends who speak Farsi, and every visit has come with excellent service. That's why I was excited to bring my girlfriend and her friend here today. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different. Our waiter, Amir, barely checked on our table. His greeting and every interaction with us felt monotone, rushed, and completely lacking any warmth. There wasn't a single smile or welcoming gesture throughout the meal. At one point, I walked to the restroom and, on my way back, saw the same waiter enthusiastically speaking Farsi and providing attentive, friendly service to several other tables. The contrast between how those tables were treated and how we were treated was impossible to ignore. Based on my experiences here, it certainly felt like customers who are Persian or speak Farsi receive a much warmer level of service than those who don't. The food is still good, but service is a big part of the dining experience. I left disappointed, especially after recommending this place to others. Unless you speak Farsi or are Persian expect mediocre to poor service. This shoutout is for you Amir! Hopefully management reads this review.

Only negative for us was feeling some pressure to upgrade the sides to our dishes (options to upgrade the salad and rice); we upgraded the rice and didn't necessarily enjoy the upgraded rice with cranberries and think the base options may have been preferable. Really enjoyed the included house salad! If you may know you have a preference for one of the upgrades it may be nice to have the options, otherwise, I would not hesitate to stick with the base which is delicious.
