Food was great, they forgot to give the Mast O'mousir but other than that food quality was amazing , lean cuts of meat not overcooked. Rice and tomatoes also tasty. Kobideh was juicy as well.

Have tried this place a couple times, just not a fan of their ghormeh Sabzi with lamb, it has a very distinct flavor that I am not used to. I grew up with it as beef. Their chicken kabobs was good and it is one of the few persian places that offers adas polo, theirs comes with bone in chicken thigh, but very flavorful.

Cashke Bademjan was missing from my order. I requested extra barberries for Zereshk Polo in the instruction section, even if there was a fee. But not only it arrived with no extra barberries, but it had much less barberries comparing to the ones I ordered from this restaurant before. Chicken had very low quality as well. I used to like this place, but I was not happy with the food quality today.

Restaurant is being renovated so pickup was tight only room for one person inside the door where you pay. I still gave 4 stars for that since it's in transition (benefit of the doubt). Kebabs didn't have the flavor they normally have. They just tasted like meat. Also I'm not sure what was going on with the consistency and texture. The Chicken was mushy....ALMOST like it had been over cooked in the slow cooker. Bummed. This used to be one of my fav restaurants. Hopefully it's a one off.
