I highly recommend this restaurant . I had the eggplant & pomegranate entrée with rice . The interior setting is relaxed & classy . Our wait staff wasn't pushy, very enjoyable experience .

Don't miss the kadoo boranee. Unlike anything I've tried before. The chicken flatbread was delicious, as was the eggplant main.

Nice environment, great service, amazing food! I highly recommend this place! I recommend the cilantro salad , lamb shank , and the fillet mignon kabob

Get the roasted cauliflower or the trout . Good wine list . Excellent for allergies....they have a menu in the back with every single ingredient listed. Ask for it if you have allergies.

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Decent Middle Eastern food . The terrace is the real jewel of this restaurant .

Get patio seating if available (gorgeous). Great food, prices in the $20-30 range for entrees.

The butternut squash bolani and its accompanied three condiments are fabulous. Flatbread is excellent.

Didn't like the chicken kabob .. Eggplant and parmesan on flatbread is recommended .. Great service .. Little pricey .. Crowded ..

Sit outside. Everything is amazing here. A+ service.

The lamb shank was exquisite - must try! Portion sizes were nice, medium size. Eclectic wine list - I liked the 'rocks & gravel' syrah/grenach.

Asha Augustine

Filet kabob is fantastic!

Tajvia Willis

Love the Lasagna !

Fedor Bartosh

Interior reminds me of community centers of Soviet Union era, but food is great and lamb kabob aka shashlik is probably the best I’ve had in California so far

Trisha Liu

For dessert - cardamom and pistachio rice pudding with fresh persimmon... Yum!
