First time I took a carry out of boneless lamb shank with eggplant.To my surprise, there was no lamb shank, just a stew beef was used for this entree.Very disappointed

What happened to this place? We were met with rude manager who has zero customer service skills. Too bad loyal customers stop being loyal when they are disrespected.. bring back Sebastian and amoo who actually know how to speak to long time customers. I will not be returning and neither will my family and community. Shamshiry, here we come!

This is probably the worst kabobs I've ever had in my life. The service is slow, and they penny pinch for every single thing there. The bread is not fresh- it is not made there. It tasted like one of those commercial breads you can buy in Costco or restaurant depot. I had Koobideh with Shirin polo which is an upgrade. Also the worst rice I have ever had. My entire family was disappointed. Not coming here ever again.

It was our first time here. We were looking for Turkish or Persian food in the Northern Virginia area. Called and made a reservation for 6 PM. When we arrived, maybe 1/3 of the restaurant was full so we were a little worried that it wasn't a popular place. our server was very pleasant, answering all of our questions, and being very patient with us. we ordered two appetizers, the eggplant dip, and the olive and pomegranate dip. WOW! Incredibly fresh, made from scratch - really enjoyed both of those. The appetizers were delicious and absolutely from scratch. Alcoholic beverage selections are decent. I was hoping for an authentic Iranian or Persian beer, but only domestic on the menu. Great wine selection, and several mixed drinks. We ordered mostly skewers, including the lamb, which was so tender and flavorful, the chicken, which my wife said was the one of the best chicken kebabs she had ever had and I am GREEK (the spices were so unique and flavor was off the charts), A combo, one with skewer of beef fillet, and the ground beef skewer (tenderloin, of course, crazy tender cooked to perfection, the ground beef (I'm not sure I liked that flavor. There was something in there that was off to me flavor wise a spice maybe? not sure). For sides three of us had salad, which was fresh, crisp and delicious with the dressing and I had the rice, which I found very nice and flavorful. we finished off with the saffron, pistachio ice cream (we had a birthday girl with us) HOLY smokes that was quite a treat to the senses! It was the first time any of us had that, rich and creamy full of finely chopped pistachios and simply delicious. In the end a?great experience! Oh and the restaurant was packed when we left so my worries about it not being popular were obviously dead wrong 100% recommend this delicious restaurant! Yes, parking is a little tight because it's an older property (much narrower and small parking lot) but we did just fine.

The food was delicious! I think it's the best kabobs I've had in the area! The owner is super sweet and welcomed every guest warmly and staff were very kind and attentive. This is a very popular spot so make reservations as the wait can get long.
