I didn’t have any other Persian food in Chicago, but this one was the worst Persian food I had in US including NY, NJ, Co, Seattle, California, …For Kebabs didn’t have any taste, it’s like you just put the meat on skewers as is with no spices or salt. Barg and Chicken Kebab were really smelly, they didn’t even marinate them before cooking. The chicken one was disgusting, I couldn’t eat it even if I was starving. The homemade Dough is more of milk, don’t attempt to try it again no sour taste or any other taste and they sound like they have the most delicious type of it available. Zeytoon parvardeh is supposed to have pomegranate molasses not cranberry and tomato. If you’re not following the recipe name it differently please. But it didn’t taste bad at all however it wasn’t legit. Their rice was really good though. Long story short, I don’t recommend this place. Get your calories on a better food.

We went for a bite at this Persian place, the food is decent, however the restaurant itself is not that great. They have a weird system of paying upfront before seating. The service is mediocre, and the food is very commercial.Their Humus and baba ghanouj tasted good, their Dolma is ok, not too flavorful and has only rice in it.Their grills are good, but too heavy with butter. The white rice is good and fluffy.If you’re looking to enjoy a good Persian food, display is best for takeout and delivery, but not dine in.
Fantasticly fresh. Rediculously generous portion size for lunch. The eggplant appetizer was superb. Excellent Value without sacrificing quality flavor and variety. The freshest hummus I have ever tasted. I may never eat it again unless it’s from here.

We have been coming here for years! The food is good, some of the best kabobs especially the Beef Koubideh. The dill rice is my favorite rice. I also like the Fesanjan, it is nice and tart. It is usually busy, so I think that saying it is good speaks for itself. A great addition to the neighborhood.

Food is not what it used to be, but it is still decent. Service is fine, but it is too chaotic to be inside for more than a few minutes

Food was good. Surprisingly they charged on card transaction even it was $70 above.. Also they charge Tip by default even though they have self service..Kid-friendliness: They don’t have kids utensils
The food here was underwhelming and lacking flavor, especially for the price. Got take out, so I can’t speak to the customer service experience, but they seemed nice enough when I picked up my order. Likely won’t go back.

I was craving middle eastern so on a whim drove to get carry out ... I sort of rushed the guys in the counter with my order because I had to pick up my teen from a class. I ordered the boneless chicken platter #1 and veggie platter with grape leaves and falafel and dips . When we got home I realized they have us only 1 piece of pita bread which was kinda disappointing. Taste was okay too, I really like noon o kebab across the street better for sure

You know the place is good when you have to fight for a spot on a weekday. The place was packed but that did not stop them from providing amazing service and excellent quality food. The kabobs were juicy and very flavorful. I would definitely recommend Adas polo rice ?Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes.

I ordered the house vegetarian and the portion sizes were way off. The platter was mostly all rice with two pieces of falafel (soaking in oil), and two pieces of grilled bell pepper and zucchini, rest was onion and tomatoes.
