Had the most wonderful time here with a group of friends! All the food is delicious and the owner is so friendly and gracious. The beef tenderloin was the best I’ve had. The appetizer sampler is a must also!

Listen, Max Pars (the owner) may not have wings but that man is an angel. We came here for date night and everything was perfect. Their dinner for two meal was absolutely delicious. Service was killer. Max stopped by to chat and even brought us a rose. 10/10, take all your friends and fam to Pars Cove — a name perfectly fitting the cozy vibes of this garden-level restaurant.
My girlfriend and I, looking to try a new restaurant in town, stopped here in a Friday night not knowing what to expect. When we arrived we were greeted with delightful smells coming from the kitchen and a quaint atmosphere. We got to choose our own seats and were waited upon quite quickly. The menu wasn’t too diverse, but they had a special for 2 where you only pay $80 for two 4 course meals and a pitcher of sangria! We jumped on the opportunity and to our delight it was phenomenal. The appetizer sampler was more than enough to fill us both, before our soup/ salad even came out. The food was all incredibly flavourful without being coated in salt like most restaurants. It was amazing to have such a delicious meal the tasted like the base food yet exemplified their flavours in a way I’ve never experienced before. I would recommend this restaurant to any/everyone in the Lakeview east/ Lincoln park area!
Incredible. All of the appetizers are perfect. The lentil soup is delicious. And everything is underpriced. Dinner for two (appetizer sampler, lentil soup, bottle of wine, entrees, and dessert) was $80. Great service, too.
Best Persian food I've tried in Illinois so far! The steak kebab tastes like LUXURY - tender, flavorful, I don't think any other middle easter place would beat that yet!! Small hole in the wall place with a nice owner, I'd vouch for this place and will want to eat here again!

An absolutely pleasurable dining experience. Wonderful authentic food that did not disappoint. Intimate dining space, not too pretentious. I will take this over most places that charge 3x as much.
My husband booked us a table at Pars Cove for our last evening in Chicago. I am so glad we visited because the Persian food was delicious, and I loved how small and intimate the space was. We sat in the conservatory section, which had beautiful natural light and plants. We shared the sampler appetizer platter, and the bread was warm/fresh from the oven. We ordered a pitcher of sweet white sangria. It was the best either of us have ever had. My starter was The Cove salad, and my husband (vegan) had the lentil soup. Our entrees were the Vegetable Mediterranean and the Ju Jah Kabob. Dessert was a sweet bread with honey, vanilla ice cream, and cinnamon sprinkled on all. This restaurant was a top favorite.

This is a neighborhood stable that just never misses. The vibe is cozy but fancy, definitely perfect for dinner date! Truly the best bang for your buck.
They do make them like they used to! It’s hard to find good service these days, but we felt like welcomed guests. The owner checked in on us multiple times and made sure our experience was great. The food was delicious!I got the lamb kubideh (very juicy and flavorful) and my boyfriend got the chicken medi- it was so tender! The hummus and honey cake were also delicious!Also the atmosphere was quaint but sweet with some frank sinatra setting the mood.So happy to have finally tried this neighborhood gem- easy to underestimate from the outside but very satisfying!
It was TERRIBLE!!!!!!
