Last night was the first time eating at this restaurant and I must say [delish!]. I normally always walk by this restaurant but last night we decided to check it out. First of all, the indoor seating is very romantic. Dimmed lights and good jazz music... It felt very intimate going with my boyfriend. This place is definitely great for taking your date. The waiter was very helpful. We ordered the Chicken Soltani. Everything about this plate was tasty. The presentation was very cute. Even the tomato was cooked to perfection. I am planning on coming back here again. The giant plate of Chicken Soltani was good enough to share for $26 and we even had left overs. The only bad thing about the restaurant were the place-mats. I have ocd sometimes and these place-mats were like threaded or something. There was a couple loose strands that were killing me. It was funny. Others than that, COME HERE. The food is so amazing.

This is without a doubt the best Persian food in San Diego. My humble opinion, echoed by Persian friends. Koobideh kabob, adas or albalu polo (chicken and fancy prepared rice) are excellent entrees. Great to order a few and share (for our group, 3 entrees + 1 hummus appetizer still had leftovers).
