This was an incredible experience. Thankfully, we made reservations a few weeks in advance. The bar itself is small, and we had to wait a bit for our table to be ready, but it was certainly worth the wait. We did the playlist experience which was very intentionally curated. The small bites paired wonderfully with each cocktail. Incredible vibes, and the staff was very personable and knowledgeable! We’re definitely looking forward to returning to try the next playlist curation!

Looking for exceptional fresh Persian food with spot on service and great art work this is your place . Authentic family recipes cooked by the chef that celebrates his family heritage with love and soul! Loved the steak/marinated tender chicken and sides, family braised chicken recipe in a pomegranate sauce over rice. Will return when we are back in town for sure!
