This was a recommendation from my NYC cousin who has traveled the world and is a world class cook.. What a delightful surprise. Food was great, we had the trio salad. I had the lamb shank with couscous,my husband had the chicken. Spices were subtly hot- unexpectantly but wonderful. reasonable priced. service was prompt and thankfully not overly pretentious. No one asked "is everything all right" My only complaint is they took the bread basket away before the entree and I was saving my bread for sopping up but when asked they brought a fresh basket. Prices were way below upper east side. A win win,

Went on a lovely Sunday afternoon with breeze coming in to our table right by the french doors. Decor is pretty nice. We had 2 out of the 3 vegeterian dishes and two appetizers. The borani (yogurt with spinach and garlic) was good, the salad was ok, the main courses were quite mediocre bordering on the tasteless lumps of beans or vegetables. The rice dishes were extremely dry. Service was particularly odd -servers were clearly well meaning but the constant taking away of anything that was not being used the moment you ut down yr empty wine glass or yr fork was pretty annoying. My empty wine glass (which I fully planned to refill with my remaining wine from the carafe) was almost taken away twice in a matter of 5 minutes by two different waiters (or busboys -not sure since they are all wearing the same short/vest combo). The sequencing of our cocktails, appetizers, and main dishes was pretty rushed -more appropriate for a quick meal at a diner than a $45/head dinner. It's unfortunate that I cannot recommend on any dimension as both the menu and the restaurant itself looked attractive when we walked by, but alas neither lived up to its promise by any stretch of imagination.

I don't know why people are claiming this place is expensive. My extremely delicious entree was $16.00 and was more than enough food. The service was very good (not pushy, very able to explain the menu) and the atmosphere was beautiful. If they had a location on the UWS I would go once a week. I highly recommend it.

Food is great but its a bit expensive. a glass of wine, shared appetizers and a main dish can easily bring you back 45-50 each

I always get the salmon kebab, which is so good, but I think its a little too pricey. The dill rice is wonderful, they can use a little less butter in the rice. The waiter is wonderful, very gracious and accomodating. I have been going to this place for years, and I am not even Persian! :)

Good food, great service, decent prices, and a nice wine selection. I will definitely go back again.

The food here is subtly but deliciously flavored, with no real sauces. This may take some getting used to as it's therefore quite dry - however, this is probably by design as that's what Persian food is supposed to be. I've been here twice so far and enjoyed the food both times: the sweetness of the rice is a great foil to the meat. Service isn't exactly warm but by NYC standards it's passable. Whatever Shiraz is available by the glass went well with my meals.
