I was excited to try out the food at Bahar Restaurant since I had heard good things, but unfortunately my experience fell short. The Qabuli and Narenji polo tasted pretty good, but my excitement quickly turned to disgust when I found a long strand of hair in my rice and then a fly in the Narenji polo.
When I politely alerted the staff, they offered to replace the food, but were dismissive about the fly, blaming it on the window beside my table. However, when I looked over there were literally dozens of flies. It was just dirty.

Read moreThe food was good. The lamb in Qabuli pulao was very tender. The Djuje Soltani had well spiced chicken and lamb kebab. Portions are big. Dessert (Makhlut ) we didnot like much.

I can only recommed the...

As a Persian visitor from the US, I was thrilled to find the food to be both amazing and authentic, yet surprisingly affordable. The ghormeh sabzi, the khoobedi, and the Jujeh kabab were all delicious and reminded me of the flavors from back home. The waitress, though nameless in my memory, was delightful and provided excellent service. The family-owned atmosphere added a warm touch, and I ended up dining there three times during my stay. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a taste of genuine...
