The only thing better than the food is the *CHARMING* owner. Seriously: maybe some of the best food in Lincoln. Incredible Persian cuisine. Highly recommend the beef kafta.

We got fooled by the good reviews and went there for dinner but ended up highly disappointed. We paid $40 a plate for average food and the lady refused to give me more rice. I got the lamb shank and tart chicken and she charged me an extra $8 for the chicken and I kid you not I didn’t get any chicken, not even a small piece, just the qorma. It wasn’t even a full entree, ONE spoon of rice and qorma each. Never going back. If you want Persian food you’re better off making it yourself and save a ton of money.And oh, they serve you yesterday’s food because we were the last ones in and instead of giving us decent portions, they were saving the leftovers for the next day.

The owner is an absolute Saint! She makes incredible food and is such a kind woman. The food was so great, my two year old scared down the rice and meatballs, and my husband and I really liked the chicken and lamb dishes we

So my husband and I were driving around trying to decide what to eat when my husband said he had heard some good things about a modest Mediterranean place in a strip mall that has honestly seen it’s better days. So unable to come up with a better option we said why not. When we pulled up to the restaurant there was neary another person or car in sight which usually isn't a good sign. As we entered my doubts only increased when seeing the steam table filled with a myriad of dishes that were difficult for us to readily recognize but then we were heartily welcomed by the delightful owner who served as our culinary tour guide. As others have commented, before long she was forcing samples upon us of all the fare she had to offer and it seemed like each dish she handed us tasted even better than the last one we tried. It soon created an ordering dilemma that ultimately forced us to essentially beg her to let us each assemble a sampler platter three separate entrees. While neither my husband or I could say the names of most of the things we ate nor identify most of the ingredients in the dishes we consumed, I can honestly say that our experience was among the most delightful and unexpected dining excursions either of us has had anywhere, much less in Lincoln. While I am not typically an adventurous eater and tend to stick with cuisine choices that are more traditionally Americana, I want anyone out there, who like me, is reluctant to try something so far removed from the norm, to do themselves a favor, and give this place a chance to impress you the way we were. I dare say you won't be disappointed and perhaps just maybe we'll run into one another because we will definitely be back eagerly and often.

The food is incomparable, please eat here. The only bad thing I could note is it's not the cheapest food option in the world, but you can definitely see the value in the food. I wish I made more so I could come eat here 2-3 times a month.
