This place is a true institution. The kebabs were incredible. The garlic sauce is an absolute must-get.
Verdict: Yes — the garlic sauce is the consensus pick. Order two.
Excessively crowded. Like a cafeteria atmosphere. Dirty plastic dishes.
Our response: The plastic plates are real and have always been real. The crowding is, regrettably, also real. We're working on neither — see why.
Simple menu, full of flavour, cooked to perfection.
Verdict: The simple menu is the point. Don't expect a tasting menu.
Too many spices. Strong turmeric flavor. Food quality was not good.
Our response: The Iranian palate runs warmer than some. The chicken breast (D10) is the leanest, mildest item on the menu — try that.
