"This might be the first time I’ve had Persian food! It’s similar to Mediterranean food, but has its own set of distinct qualities.We ordered the Chicken Kabob, the Beef/Chicken Kobideh, and finished with a serving of Saffron Ice Cream.I loved the flavor of the Chicken Kabob. My wife didn’t like it as much, but I thought it was great. She was a bigger fan of the Chicken Kobideh, which had more added flavors and seasoning. The Beef Kobideh was pretty good too!If you’ve never had Kobideh (like me), then I would describe it as an upscale Dyno Nugget. It’s chicken or beef that has been pulverized, then mixed together with seasoning and cooked. It’s not bad, really. Not my favorite, but I can see why people would like it.Our dessert, the Saffron Ice Cream, was something you had to get used to. During my first bite, I thought I was eating the smell of an old woman’s home, but in ice cream form. I don’t know how else to describe that taste. It got better the more I ate it, but I would probably never order it again. It’s an acquired taste for the American palette, and one that I obviously haven’t acquired yet.All in all, if you like trying new cuisines, you should definitely give this place a try. I’d come back for that chicken kabob, or to try something new on the menu when I’m feeling adventurous.Parking: The parking lot is very small and a bit oddly shaped, making it difficult to find an open stall even if the restaurant is only half-full."
