This is my absolute favorite spot for Persian style kabobs! The food is always fresh, perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. The portions and prices are very reasonable as well. I particularly love the beef kabob and lamb, but the chicken thigh is very delicious as well! The house sauce here is the icing on the cake!

Ive ordered meal prep from here twice and it was delicious! Their chicken and their beef is really good and I love the veggies they serve too. My mom and I tried their chickpea hummus and eggplant hummus with pitas and it was amazing. The staff is friendly and I would come back again!
