The noise from the interview process for dishwashesr, or who ever was so loud, we as customers were not even considered.
We took a lot of pressure to order when we walked into the empty restuarant.
Over and over the waitresss asked drinks, appetizers???

We were given 2 menues with no explanation as to why. One was one cuisine and another, the other cuisine.
We had our entrees delivered and the pushy server got on her cell phone back where the noisy interviewers had been earlier. I had to hit my water glass with a knife to get her off the phone and come see the nasty stale bread that was on my plate.
I ordered dumplings and they came flat on a plate with loose lasagna like noodles covering plain ground beef and canned tomato sauce. The bread was so old I couldnt eat it and offered some to the waitress, as she didnt beleive me.
She proceded to nuke some bread and offer it up in replacement.
My wifes dish of lentils and rice was so over priced for the flavor and value I could have bought 25lbs of yellow lentils.

i read the other reviews, and with respect, i really can’t imagine how we could be talking about the same place! first of all, there are two menus because they offer a persian cuisine and an afghani cuisine. both are excellent, but i always order from the afghani menu because i have a ‘favorite dinner’. i will make a suggestion for you as it can be a little overwhelming at first. as an appetizer, order quruti: it is sort of a bread in sour cream sauce – sounds weird, but very tasty. for the main course, order the persian salad (tomatoes, cucumber, onion in a lemony vinaigrette), and a rack of lamb, which is to die for. rice comes with it, i think – very different from ‘usual’ rice: the individual grains are not at all smooshy. it is seasoned with tiny bits of carrot and the occasional currant, and some spices – excellent, try the mantoo, which is described as a dumpling but is actually a very soft noodle with a piquant tomato sauce which you can have with or without meat – i like it with. for a vegetable, order the eggplant, which also has a meat sauce. for dessert, i recommend the firini, which is sort of a custard but very delicately seasoned with rosewater. i hope you enjoy this meal as much as i do – this is a very special place, and highly recommended – check the reviews on the wall as you walk in.
