User Reviews

In many reviews, users mention the friendly attitude of both the staff and the owner, describing an atmosphere that feels relaxed and genuinely welcoming. In several comments, guests note being offered Iranian tea and baklava as a gesture of hospitality, and these small details are often highlighted as making the visit feel more personal and memorable. The majority of feedback praises the kebabs. Koobideh and shish kebabs, particularly lamb and chicken, are repeatedly described as flavourful, fresh, and juicy. A number of reviewers also specifically mention stews such as fesenjan and ghormeh sabzi, noting that they had an authentic and satisfying taste. In addition, biryani and certain grilled platters appear frequently in more recent reviews, with positive remarks about the tenderness of the meat, the balance of spices, and the presentation of the dishes. Several comments indicate that portion sizes are generally reasonable and satisfying for most diners.

Alongside these positive points, some criticism relates to pricing. A number of users feel that the actual prices of certain items did not fully match expectations based on the online menu range, and there are specific mentions of relatively high prices for some simple dishes or drinks. A smaller group of reviews also refers to the quality or quantity of meat in certain sandwich orders, suggesting that it fell short of what they had expected.

Overall, most guests are satisfied with the food quality and the behaviour of the staff, and consider the experience worthwhile. However, for those who are particularly sensitive to pricing or order details, such as the type and quantity of meat, it is advisable to review the menu and prices carefully and clearly communicate preferences before placing an order.
