Wow, what a find! We searched for food nearby and thought Persian would be nice. We had no idea how great this place would be. The portions are both authentic and generous. The sauces are amazing. The veggies are fresh. The atmosphere is refreshingly quiet (gentle piano music with good sound reduction to minimize distractions from other diners. Our server, Bishwash, was very nice -- patient, respectful, and happy to accommodate special requests. I tried the traditional yogurt drink, and recoiled at first from is very sharp and tangy sensations, but I was addicted to it by the time I finished (especially since Bishwash kindly topped it off with extra seltzer to thin it out for me (and recommended sprinkling it with a little sumac -- available on the table next to the salt and pepper). The saffron and pistachio ice cream was the perfect ending to a lovely meal. We will be back often!
If you have Iranian family or married into one then this place will give you that warm feeling.
If you are looking for something unique and delicious this is certainly a top choice. Similarly interesting restaurants in the rest of Philadelphia will likely involve traffic and tough parking. This place is always hassle free and friendly. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any order. The crispy rice pieces, rich pilafs with barbecued meat, sweet berry sauces, homemade hummus, stews, and depth of seasonings have been bringing us back with friends over and over … and we rarely go anywhere more than once.
