Fantastic place. The server and owner were super friendly, the food was very good and the decor and atmosphere was cozy and classy. I think we tried half the menu when we were there; the halloumi and red pepper dip was the tastiest in my opinion!

We had a wonderful dinner tonight celebrating my husband’s birthday! The food was delicious especially the halloumi and lamb shank. We were kindly given complimentary tea, and a dessert with a candle for my husband. Lovely owner and relaxing, modern vibe. Will definitely be back!

We had such a wonderful experience at this Persian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the kebabs, they were incredibly juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality. The owner is very kind and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home. To top it all off, the tea and caramel served at the end were a lovely touch and the perfect way to finish the meal. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I came here with my family and I couldn't recommend this place more! All the food was incredibly delicious, the meat was sooo tender and seasoned really well. The staff was really accommodating, kind and so warm! Would love to come here again :)
