We were seated immediately and our server brought us bread and a dish of feta cheese, walnut and herbs. I really wish they had some Persian bread in the basket.
We ordered drinks and ap
I've been excited for this place to open for so long now, I couldn't believe it when I walked by and saw the door open! I had to visit the same night. I shared a few dishes with friends and they were all delicious - the bread with herbs and cheese they brought out was a wonderful touch, and the kash
Surprisingly, the ambiance of this restaurant is really great despite being hidden among “less upscale looking” places on 14th street near the shopping mall center in ColumbiaHeights. This is my first time trying Iranian food and it great. A very attentive service from the moment you sit down.
