★★★★☆ 4.0 Solace Giddings · Oct 2025

The food is very quality and delicious. I ordered from the farmer's market stand at College View. The spicy chicken and the saffron rice that they serve with most items are absolutely amazing. I didn't like the spinach chickpeas as much. They tasted a bit too buttery for me, but if that's your preference...the prices to me were a bit of a problem; I ended up paying around $19 for one hot dish shown here. However, very kind staff and wonderful food, I would recommend if you're in the mood for a rich taste of Persian cuisine.

This place is a treasure! The food was amazing! Portions were huge. The owner was so friendly and helpful, showing us all the options and offering to let us try before we decided. The eggplant was so good. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options available as well as a variety of meat ones for those who like that: salmon, lamb, duck, chicken. Don’t let the modest atmosphere deter you from giving them a try. It’s spectacular!

The owner was very nice and she gives you samples of the available dishes before you buy. During our visit she was by herself so you may have to be patient but all of the food was delicious. Highly recommend giving this place a visit

★★★★★ 5.0 Justine Yeo Bircher · Aug 2024

I hadn't been here in years and the prices of their food have definitely increased tremendously. However, I can't deny that the food here tastes AMAZING. I also love a cute grandma telling me all about the food she made. I got the chicken special (listed as "keime" on the iPad checkout page) with saffron rice and it had eggplant, peaches, raisins, and almonds in it. The gravy paired so well with the saffron rice, too. I would recommend asking her how much something is before ordering, so your expectations are tempered. I paid $24 (after tax, before tip) for my order. She scooped in a ton of the chicken dish, so I can't complain. 🍆

Absolutely delicious food. The owner works to greet everyone that comes in and insists you try a few different dishes before you order. Food has great taste and the portions are large! We enjoy every visit!
