"CONSTANT UP CHARGES, POOR FOOD QUALITYStopped by mid week for lunch. Staff member was very friendly and welcoming. Food was hit or miss. First off, the prices were waaaay above any other persian place including in high cost of living areas like LA or DC! $34 for a soltani??? The cucumber yogurt was some of the best I've ever had (even as a Persian foodie) but didn't come with bread so you had to pay $1.50 for four small pita slices (not baked fresh). The salad shirazi was very clearly not made that day the cucumbers were brown and had a clear lemon soaked flavor. The rice was fresh but the kabob kubideh was made thin and small with poor quality beef. As soon as it cooled off, the texture become rubbery and tough highly indicative of too much tenderization premade more than 2 3 hours prior. Also, the color was off . Not even our local Moby Dick chain (think McDonalds for Persian food) gets this bad. Oh yea, half salad and half rice was an additional upcharge (again).Suggestion: I get it, running a service business with tighter margins and lack of help must be difficult. But instead of focusing on nickel and diming every upcharge, step out of your office and off the computer, focus intensely on the food quality, and get that right. Everything else will flow."
