N
great ambience and service. lots of gluten free options. loved everything i ordered (meat platter) but wish i got lamb instead of the beef kofte. i felt like the flavor was good but didn’t exactly jump out at me– especially in the stews. but the standout for me was the rice pudding!!! one of my favorite desserts of all time.

Absolutely fantastic! Went on a recommendation from a friend and expectations were exceeded. Got a vegan and gluten free meal: shoula, sabzi, gulpee, dal, and samarok (the last was our favorite). Outstanding. The sheer berenj was an incredible end. So flavorful and wonderful across the board. Our server, Matiullah, was fabulous. Loved the patio seating. Will return!

Had a fantastic evening. The waiter was very good at explaining all the different menu options and placed emphasis on the gluten free options.
