What to Order
Dizi
A traditional lamb stew served in a unique, ritualistic way, featuring chickpeas, white beans, potatoes, and tomatoes.
"This classic Persian stew, consisting of chickpeas, white beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and our caprine friend feels more like a ritual than a meal. First, you pour out the soup, then mash the tender solids into a rich paste."
Bredgy L.
Mirza Qasemi
A smoky eggplant dip with garlic and tomatoes, offering a tender richness with a gentle tang and sweetness.
"Further highlighting the ubiquitous presence of flatbread, a humble yet deeply satisfying dip of smoky eggplant, garlic and tomatoes presents a tender richness, carrying a gentle tang and underlying sweetness from the tomatoes, while the smokiness is profound but never acrid, and benefits from a touch more salt."
Bredgy L.
Kalleh Joosh
A unique and flavorful dish that offers a taste unlike anything you've experienced before.
"I had the Kalleh Joosh with my family, and the taste is unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Highly recommend!"
Ash Torabi
The Safavid
Three crisped sunnyside-up eggs with jammy yolks, served with juicy lamb meatballs, feta, cucumber, radish, pickled cabbage, and pomegranate-marinated olives.
"The Safavid is the miracle alarm clock that actually jolts your taste buds awake - three crisped sunnyside-up eggs with a jammy yolk, partnered with the mini lamb meatballs that are astonishingly juicy and savory, perfumed with sumac for a subtle tart lift to the rich caprine aromas."
Bredgy L.
Persian Tea
A delicious and authentic tea, perfect for warming yourself up.
"Coupled with tea, it is a warm meal to warm yourself in the cold."
Oğuz Avci
Torshi
Pickled vegetables that provide a mellow, acidic tang to cut through rich dishes.
"The pickled torshi cuts through all that richness with a mellow, acidic tang, while the flatbread soaks all the goodness up."
