The food here is absolutely delicious! Very calm, comfortable atmosphere. Service is wonderful and very kind. I have a friend who is from Iran and he would make us food. Now living in a different state I found a piece of home with this wonderful restaurant. I absolutely love coming here!
The main dishes were great š.
Personally I did not like the taste of Kashk E Bademjoon ( it does nit taste as authentic as I expected).
Moreover, I liked very much nostalgic vibe.
The place is quite clean but still there is room for better interior design.
Unbelievably good Persian restaurant, lovingly run by a husband and wife who add that personal touch to each and every dish they serve.
From personal, family recipes made with ingredients you've never heard of, to menu suggestions and sometimes even samples of amazing cuisine to help (make it harder?) to choose.
Will DEFINITELY be back, next time we're in the city.
Easily the best Persian food in St. Louis. I ordered the lamb shank and it was amazing. Extremely tender and flavorful, while also being a reasonable price. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
The menu offers a wide selection of food, from kebabs, soups, and other dishes. While i have only had meat options, there is a robust vegetarian selection as well. Definitely worth a visit!
The food was very good. I got the Soltani Kabob with Lamb and the wife got the Vegetarian combo. Both we exceptionally good, especially my beef kabob. If I had a chance, I would just get the beef kabob. Also, the plain white rice is sooooo good. Cleaned my plate. I highly recommend this place and I will be back for another visit.
Great restaurant, amazing service, the staff and the owner made us feel as we were at home. The hospitality was amazing. The food was incredible. Definitely would give this place more stars if I could
Wow! This restaurant surpassed my expectations! It was delicious!! I liked everything about it. The atmosphere was simple with lovely music playing in the background and incredible aromas filling the air. The waitress was pleasant and efficient. I ordered the beef kabobs. The kabobs were unlike beef kabobs Iāve had in the past (see the photo) but they were filled with flavor. Absolutely delicious!
Everyone in my group enjoyed the restaurant. The food was amazing! Iām already planning my next visit.
I had no trouble finding a parking spot on the street. It was a nice evening with many people strolling in the neighborhood. We felt very safe.
Do yourself a favor and go to this locally owned restaurant. You wonāt be sorry!!
Absolutely amazing food! Vegetarian options available. Do not sleep on this place. The rice was so savory and the meat combo I had was so fresh and juicy. Very relaxing environment and I loved how welcoming it felt while we ate. Thank you. Brianna for the awesome service!
Hubby and his friend had vegetable dishes and were raving about them! Can't wait to go back.
Delightfully quaint place on a busy street. Don't let the lack of decor sway you from the taste bud joy.
This was my first time here, and the food was delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced. The restaurant was very clean, and I received great service. The owner is so nice. He stopped by a couple times to make sure I liked everything. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be coming back.
I try to support local small businesses instead of eating at chain restaurants.
Iāve had kebab in some of the best places in North America (Cali, Toronto, NYC). This amazing restaurant in STL is the where I had the most succulent, flavorful and delicious kebab Iāve ever had. I immediately ordered a second order before finishing my first. Highly recommend!

This is a hidden gem. It looks like a very casual place, but the food and service is absolutely stellar. The place has a real casual, informal, and homely vibe. Itās actually a family owned place and the owner is very kind and friendly. We started with some tea. I took the Persian tea without milk and my partner took the tea with milk. It was a chilly evening in STL, and the hot tea was the perfect. Next, we got some falafel as an appetizer which was absolutely hot, fresh and crunchy. Next we shared a single platter. It came with three types of kabobs - chicken, beef, and lamb, and two types of rice. One is a a specialty rice with berries ( I forgot the name), and another was the usual buttered basmati yellow rice. Both types of rice excellent. The kababs were simply the great. The meat is halal, and itās cooked/ roasted to the perfection. We canāt stop eating. I have always been a super fan of Iranian kabobs, and this place has nailed it. To finish the great meal, we ordered some Iranian rice pudding- which was similar to Indian firni. It was creamy, aromatic, served chilled, topped with pistachio- the sweet level is absolutely moderate. The entire dinner was excellent with all the items cooked perfectly, with good portion sizes. Both of us shared singles plates and the portions were absolutely good for us. The only complaint would be- they didnāt give any complementary fresh baked pita with salad, which is quite a staple in Persian restaurants in the US. However, thatās good in a sense, otherwise I find myself almost full after eating those perfect hot pita breads in the beginning. Also, this place is more like a casual spot to offer anything complementary. At the end, the owner came and talked with us. He is very sweet and kind to offer us some portion of their famous dill rice to take home. I never expected this behaviour from any restaurant. Itās almost like a family. They are very sweet and kind. I canāt recommend the place more. Do visit them, and thank me later.
It was our pit stop on our way to New York, The food and the service was excellent ā„ļøš¹
Must visit once and you will never forget the āTASTE OF PERSIAā
SO good!!!! Very authentic. I ordered delivery but called ahead to talk with the owner. I ended up getting the shirazi salad and lamb shank with zereshk rice. The salad was fresh diced tomatoes, onions and cucumbers with their amazing house dressing. Quite tangy. The lamb shank just fell off the bone it was so tender. And the zereshk rice looked like a large portion but I ate it all. The rice was fluffy and flavorful and the barberries on top added the perfect blend. Oops no photos to share. I ate it all and didn't think to take pictures before.
My family and I were there for lunch and we ordered appetizers, main course, and desert. We all enjoyed the tast of all the foods they served. I was worried at first because my 11year old son is so picky and do not eat food from restaurants but surprisingly he finished his lunch which was " Ghormeh sabzi" and he told me that it was the best. I also ordered "Ash" as an appetite and " Ghymeh" as the main course and "Baklava & tea" as desert. They were all very tasty š. The staff were also nice and polite.
My family and I love to come here for lunch. If you need a flavorful dose of meat and rice this is your place. The butter chicken will leave you wanting more. I find myself craving this food frequently, so be warned. The gheymeh sebze is also a favorite.we used to live in the middle east, so if you're from there or know the food well, this is a good place.
Beautiful hidden gem of a restaurant on South Grand! The ambiance is absolutely perfect, and the food is mouthwatering! I tried the eggplant dip and the delicious spicy beef stew with rice (written in American terms lol). Come try it out! Support your local businesses.
Iām new to the area and Iām making it a point to try new STL restaurants; especially the ones on Grand Avenue. Service was quick and my server was courteous. I had the kabob combo and the meats were juicy and well seasoned. I had the falafel as an appetizer and they were delicious. Came out warm and the outside had a great ācrunchā to it. Very tasty. Will return again.
