Darvish Kitchen | Persian Restaurant Near the White House

So delicious 😋 A Persian restaurant!! With a bit of Turkish flair Great #food Never knew grilled beef could be so fragrant The crispy rice crust in the cilantro fried rice is amazing too (choose the second rice option) The first one is ordinary but still good. But the second one is incredibly tasty 😋 The lamb was just okay ~ The 3rd floor is a small bar, only open on Fridays or Saturdays.
