I rarely write reviews, but this Persian gem in Gaithersburg absolutely deserves the spotlight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality that made me feel like a cherished guest rather than just another customer. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, with beautiful traditional décor and subtle music that sets the perfect tone for an authentic dining experience.
Now, let’s talk food — wow. Every dish was a masterpiece. The saffron-infused rice was fragrant and perfectly fluffy, the kebabs were juicy, tender, and grilled to perfection, and the stews (especially the Ghormeh Sabzi) were rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting. You can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite.
The service was attentive without being intrusive — our server was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations for both food and wine pairings. The owner even came by to check in and share a bit about the story behind the dishes, which added a personal and memorable touch.
This restaurant is more than just a place to eat — it's an experience. Whether you're a long-time fan of Persian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you owe it to yourself to visit. Highly, highly...
Read moreThe most horrifying and the worst Iranian food I have ever eaten in my ENTIRE LIFE. Kabobs were disaster .... More than twenty of people ate there today and NONE, I mean NO ONE was happy with food. The restaurant is comfortable and creates a great atmosphere but the food is very very bad. I am Iranian and I eat Iranian food every day and the food I got there today was the worst that I ever had in my entire life. Every Kabob we ordered today was BURNT and DRY, Barg and Kubideh. No wait staff ever asked how the food was and now I know why... Manager of the restaurant was completely ignorant to the food situation and never moved from the side of the counter. He just stood watch as cold and faceless as any dead statue ( Mojasameh bellahhaat ). Portion of food is so reduced to keep you below not hungry line. Add that with bad taste of food and I promise you will be kicking yourself for going there for the rest of your life. I know I am....
Read moreI personally, cant come here with my family. Its most definitely not family friendly. The alcohol + the belly dancers? not a healthy combo. The food is so-so. I was OKAY with this place, until I called in a couple days ago, and this man answered me with the rudest tone of voice ever. He was basically barking at me. Thats not the customer service I'm paying for. To be quite frank, I would say that this place only attracts people by its entertainment, people find the belly dancers amusing, and who doesn't want alcohol with their food? You need it, so you wont recognize what you eating. No time spent on the food, or the customer! Next time guys, show that you care a little, if not for the service people, but...
