Food was generally good. Some menu items were fantastic but zome others kind of average quality at best. Service was kind of... slow. From the menu items we tried: Halim Bademjan was fantastic: 5/5 Barg kabob was one of the best I've ever had: 5/5 Chickenkabob wasn't the best. It was a bit bland and dry. 3/5 Lamb shoulder: amazing 5/5 Shishlik: kind of mediocre at best, very dryand bland: 2/5 They provide freshly brewed tea which is nice. Music was too loud and the selection consisted of mostly sadsongs. Service was slow and some items were not available. We had reservation at 1pm and even though they open at 12, they saidLamb neck and Zeitoon parvardeh are not ready yet. Overall, some food items are fantastic, like best I've tried and those makeit worth coming back to. Read more

Their food is very authentic but they have their own unique take on their dishes. They have some of the best kebabs. Really... enjoyed their marinated wings dish which they char on the BBQ to finish it off. And I enjoyed their Halim bademjam dish as astarter. A really nice touch is that they serve tea included with your meal. They have raised their prices and their food is onthe pricier side but it's worth the splurge. Service was too notch. They were attentive and checked in on us from time to timewithout overdoing it. Servers made great recommendations on food and answered all our questions as best they could and asked thekitchen if they didn't know the answer. The space is not overly large (around 10 tables total) nor is it fancy. It's a veryaverage looking space but they have some frames of parts of Iran up which adds to the authenticity. It wasn't busy when we gotthere but got pretty busy in the afternoon. Liked the traditional Iranian music playing in the background. I would go back hereand wouldn't hesitate recommending. Read more

Great authentic food! Very friendly environment. A bit pricy but worth the money. I ordered lamb shank meal. It was very tasty... and tender. The meat just melted in my mouth. It was a bit salty and oily, but it is just my personal preference. Highlyrecommend! Read more

You go here for the lamb. Very pleasant dining experience, the meat is cooked to perfection. I would recommend the lamb shoulder... especially as it is an incredible flavor of meat that falls right off the bone. In this picture below I ordered the Shishlik andit was also very worthwhile. If you would like to experience eating warm baklava drizzled in condensed milk, that would be myrecommendation for dessert as well. Read more

Decided to visit this spot. We’re left waiting around 15 mins after being seated. It turned out we were waiting for a welcome... tea drink. It would have been great to know why we were waiting. The food was good we had the lamb and chicken it was juicy andtasty with the butter rice, good portion size. Great little spot. Menu prices have increased Read more

Loved all the food we ordered from here. They get you started with some tea with a sugar cube. Meats are very tender and... seasoned well. Rice comes with butter on top which makes everything better. Small salad is a nice refresher and grilled tomatoadds nice acidity to the balance Read more

My wife's a Chef and it is VERY DIFFICULT to take her out to dinner. She loves good ethnic restaurants and this did not... disappoint her. Our appetizer Halim badimjan and dips were fabulous, we asked for advice for there best sellers and she guidedus to a wonderful meal. The lamb was great and I had a 16 oz Rib eye done a middle eastern style it was also very good. Thesaffron tea was a perfect fit that starts your meal and it's free. Another good restaurant to eat at in Langley. Read more
