★☆☆☆☆ My family and I went to this restaurant under the impression that the menu was at least partially halal and the owners were Muslim (according to Zabihah.com). When we arrived, we were not greeted pleasantly and the waiter was actually quite rude (because we were wearing hijab). We wanted to leave but because it was my brother's birthday, we didn't want the night to be ruined. Wine was a major part of the menu and with each food listing, there were wine/alcoholic recommendations. The owners stated that their meat is halal because it is "cheaper" for them to buy halal meat than it is to buy non-halal meat. Their meat was NOT halal for the right reasons. We ended up not ordering any meat dishes for the Muslims in our table. As a Persian, the food was actually quite flavorless. We asked for an eggplant stew (without meat) and basically got eggplant in water (it had no flavor). A simple yogurt drink (1 cup) cost $6.00 each. We ordered 2 eggplant stews, 1 veggie kabob (burnt onions, tomato and bell peppers), rice and 1 chicken kabob for our American, non-Muslim friend. We ended up paying $160.00 (gratuity included) and when we paid $200 cash to pay the bill, they didn't want to bring our change back (we already paid gratuity and they wanted another $40 in tip). The food was extremely expensive, distasteful and was definitely not worth the price. The service was unacceptable. I discourage any kind of dining at this restaurant and I hope this restaurant will be removed from Zabihah.com Posted on February 7, 2010
