We stopped in for wine at the bar. They were so gracious and welcoming. Served us water. The Chardonnay was served in large wine glass - too fun!

Lovely staff, good food, generous portions, not noisy. An unpretentious, great neighborhood spot.

Service was exceptional, happy hour is only at the bar. Saffron wings were spectacular, must try!! The Shirazi salad was fresh and the chicken and beef sultani was good but the beef was a bit dry. The Albaloo rice was good but not as flavorful as I thought. Got some drinks, cocktail Sarmast was delicious with saffron and the Fig in the Fog was the best!! And if you know Tahdig then ask for it, with or without stew!! Delicious!!

Surprised to find a 7 o'clock reservation on a Friday night. That said,our party of four was seated many of the available tables quickly became taken. Started with MAST BADEMJOON fried eggplant and yogurt dip . Tasty but badly needed salt . Saffron wings were well seasoned and juicy. We got 3 orders of beef sultanani some with rice others with shirazi salad. These are 2 kebabs one of each koobideh and the other grilled beef. 4th order was for safffon chicken only kebabs. While we all liked the beef grill , the chicken (breast) was underseasoned and dry. All in with tax and tip and as around $250

Nice ambience the waiter and host z was terrific. I was here for a wine and food event. The food was hit and miss. The spinach appetizer was bland as was the smoked eggplant both fresh just not that interesting. The salmon was good and the Bronzino was the best. The ground beef was returned.

Came here with my Persian friend who was pleasantly satisfied with all of the options. It is hard to find authentic Persian food in NYC for some reason, but we had a nice meal here. Solid 7/10 for me. Kebab meat was tender and juicy, and nice fluffy rice with different options including pistachios and raisins - authentic! The bread was nice and fluffy, and they served tea the Persian way with sugar cubes that you put in your mouth and take sips of tea to let it dissolve. The drinks were solid as well. The olive dip was briney and flavorful. The baklava was sweet, but not too sweet and maintained a good flaky texture. If you haven't had persian food and are looking to explore it in a sit-down restaurant setting, this is a great place to check out! Definitely keeping this place in mind for when people seek Persian.

Short review: I didn't actually eat much here, as I had an extravagantly expensive work lunch earlier that left me waddling like a penguin, and then a ridiculously lavish work happy hour. I *did* try a couple of bites of my friend's Ghormeh Sabzi--my favorite Persian stew--and it was scrumptious. But mostly, I remember our drinks: - Call Me Honey: Sweet, just like the apologies I had to make to my liver when I went home. - My Heart Is on Fire: Tasty and perfect for pepper lovers - Mediterranean Mule: Spiced and spicy, like a certain 1995 world-dominating girl band. - Persian Queen: My favorite of the night. - Love & Poetry: More like love and regret at this point, but I had a good buzz going and this came with cinnamon. - Paris to Shiraz: Maybe the only cocktail dud. A bit too bitter and a bit too boring compared to all the other fun libation creations. Will come back to have a proper dinner one day.

I came here with family, and the hostess was really warm and accommodating. We were led to a table at the front of the restaurant, but then we requested to sit at the back of the restaurant, where it was a bit warmer. They gladly moved us toward the back. We ordered three dishes to share: one stew and two kabobs. The chicken kabob did not have much of a flavor to it, though the ground beef one had a nice, subtle pepper taste. The ghormeh sabzi was delightful. It had the perfect amount of sourness to it. I highly recommend it. They serve a good portion of food. We did not order any dessert, since we were pretty full. For those looking to try Persian food, give this place a shot.

Made a reservation for three people on a Tuesday evening. Slim interior with tables alongside the wall and a bar to the left. Not too many people on a Tuesday evening for dinner. Didn't have a lot of time to spend, so quickly ordered the Bronzino ($34), as well as a glass of red wine ($15). The fish is a flat piece of filet topped with lemon and herbs, served alongside a wheel of spinach. Fresh flavor in the fish; definitely lemon-forward (without sprinkling any juice from the topper). Spinach is marinated well, cutting the meat in between bites. Not as substantial as expected, but easy to finish. Also got to try the Coconut Cake ($10), which was very intense. Service is good with the waiters getting us out on time. Fine atmosphere for a laid back date night if it isn't too crowded.
