Went with my wife and son for lunch on May 3, 2026. I had sabri polo with black cod, my wife had joojeh kabob with chicken breast, and my son had gheimeh with maitake mushrooms. As for my plate, the black cod was delicious and very tender. The rice was very rich in flavor and not spicy at all. As for the other people in the group, they were very satisfied with the food. I tasted my wife's joojeh kabob, and found it to be a bit dry, albeit very flavorful. The ambience was very peaceful with the background persian music.
