AI Summary

Richmond's Persian institution for smoky koobideh kebabs, saffron rice and warm hospitality.

Warm, richly decorated Persian dining room with traditional artwork and gentle music that regulars describe as stepping into a home in Iran. cosy rather than formal, and well suited to family gatherings and celebrations.

Traditional Persian decor and artwork throughout, saffron used across most dishes, dizi sangi served tableside with the waiter offering to pour it for you, and a warm welcome from owner Hamed that multiple reviewers call out by name.

Strongly affirmed by Iranian and Persian reviewers as a genuine taste of home, from the saffron rice to the traditional decor and Farsi-language reviews praising it directly; a minority found it fairly standard rather than exceptional.

Mid-range for Persian dining. many reviewers call portions generous for the price, though a handful flag add-on charges (extra skewers, extra charcoal tomato) as steep.
