    Not as good as I was hoping

    There is something about having your food served on styrofoam plates and eating with plastic fork and knife that negatively impacts your meal.

    Wonderful middle eastern food

    A frequent place we go, it is always packed but you can find a table. We order lamb or beef kabobs, the huge bread, rice, and tabouli salad. The complimentary tea is legit and wonderful.

    Cheap and Good Quality

    This is a rare find. This place is actually a fast food which serves good quality Persian food. I suppose they keep their prices low by eliminating regular restaurant services. They don't have waiters/waitresses, they don't offer silverware (only plastic and foam) and their traditional...More
