I just heard about the place. The atmosphere is classy and calming. The staff were nice and attentive but I can't say more than that given that I was the only customer there.

They offered a nice complementary dish with feta cheese balls, tomato salad and olives. The Iranian bread on the side tasted vert flat and basic, and it wasn't soft enough.

I ordered joojeh kabab/zaafrani chicken. The portion was generous and the chicken was very succulent and moist. However, the flavor was really subtle. I could barely taste any saffron in the whole dish, not even in the rice. The chicken didn't have this delicious charcoal bbq flavor. Some chicken pieces were very salty. I hope they work on improving this dish.

The prices are very reasonable though given the portion sizes.

I heard their indian food is great, will update my review...

Friday night and I decided to take my family and my wife's parents there for our anniversary. Place was relatively empty - less than 50% occupied when we came and later left. Food was good though the kebab portions seemed small for the pricing and overǰ compensated by excessive amounts of rice. We asked for room temp water and sodas but seems it was lost in translation. Servers didn't seem very interested in their role. After we paid I decided to head over to bateel with my wife and son to pick up dessert. They apparently forgot to bill us for 1 dish, and so one of them came out to the parking area and found my in-laws and asked them to pay the bill. Overall, though not a very pleasant experience from a service perspective, the food was fine and the place...
