The food is very delicious! It has been oddly cold inside the last couple of times. They also serve drinks in from a genie bottle!

Arguably one of the best Iranian foods I've had in Salt Lake Valley. Highly recommend this place to those who are interested in trying authentic Iranian. Personally, I don't think you could go wrong with a kabob sultani.

Great Service, nice ambiance, good music, good vibes! Food was delightful. We ordered a filet mignon kabob, chicken and beef combos. For dessert we ordered baklava, pastry desserts, and their cake roll. Overall great experience. Clean restaurant prompt services. Comfort yet healthy dishes.

I took my cousin here because she had never tried Persian food. It was absolutely delicious! I got a walnut pomegranate stew that was very tasty. We also loved the appetizer platter of different dips for our flatbread. The restaurant had a great atmosphere with lots of Persian decorations.

Authentic Persian food with amazing service and delicious food. The decor was very middle eastern. It was pretty empty when we came for Tuesday dinner. We split the appetizer sampler, a Hummus and the kebab combo. I had to fight my husband because he kept eating all the meat! He said it was the juiciest chicken kebab he's ever had! The appetizer sampler consisted of 4 different appetizers two yogurt based, one egg and tomato and one eggplant served with pita bread. My only gripe was that the pita bread was not hot and thinner than what I'm used to and the hummus was not creamy and more textured. But everything else was delicious.

We ordered take out for dinner from here. The Chicken Koobideh was my favorite. The Chicken Koobideh was delicate, flavorful, and seasoned well. The Beef Koobedeh Kabob & Shish Kabob were okay. They were both tender and cooked well however they had a strong vinegar aftertaste. The pita bread was accompanied by butter and some seasonings. This was a nice small business we wanted to support. I highly recommend the Chicken Koobideh.

What a surprise to eat here! The beef soltani was so good as we got to try both the ground beef and the fillet mignon. It was a great quality beef, I actually hoped the flavor was more intense. The 4 starter combo was great; I loved the mirza ghasemi (tomato egglant and egg dip) and the chicken mayo dip. The waitress was very attentive to us, explained and suggested a few good options and filled up our tea occasionally.
