Maybe Authentic, but just so so

by austinarkie

A coworker from Iran recommended this restruarant and I just didn't get it. We tried the buffet because it had lamb on it but after eating for a couple of minutes, my husband and I just looked at each other, it was gross. Though my kids loved the food, it was way too pricey for what they ate. They charged $12.99 for a 9 year old and $6.49 for a 4 year old. As mentioned earlier, the service was horrible. We had to chase down the server several times and the restruarant was practically empty. I guess we will drive out of the way and stick to our old favorites.

• Pros: Atmosphere was quiet, relaxing
• Cons: Too pricey for kids, horrible service, kind of greasy

Yummy Persian grub.

by texaswombat

They tend to have a lot of the same items on the buffet every time we visit, but that isn't always a bad thing. The potato dish (which the owner will not divulge the recipe for - believe me, I have asked) is wonderful as are the eggplant and lentil dishes. The kofta like kabobs can be a little dry at times and it would be nice to see some hummus available on the buffet, but all in all good food for a reasonably good price.

I have heard there is a belly dancer now, but I must admit that I would find that distracting during a meal.

• Pros: nice setting, nice staff and good food
• Cons: not a lot of variety on the menu

Delicious authentic Persian cuisine

by subhakul

I have been to the Sunday afternoon buffet several times and I thought after moving to Austin from Houston, I would never find Persian food that met same par, but I have! Restaurant is very clean, never too crowded, and always a great selection and consistently delicious food.
