I can’t speak to all menu items but their chicken kofta is so good, flavorful and soft. My picky eater kid even loves it. Good pre or post jummah lunch spot

Halal sign displayed outside. New owner.

I went there today. A new guy was there and I think he needs to improve his customer service. The couple who normally work there are definitely better.

The owner verbally assured me that the food was Halal. We ordered the Darya Kabob Special which included Koobideh, Chicken and Lamb Kabobs. IT WAS AWESOME! The prices were VERY REASONABLE. The decorum was inviting. Can't wait to go back!

I ate inside a couple times and ordered "to go" one time. You definitely get more rice when you're eating inside. The food is delicious but not the best persian place in town. The restaurant is very small and very casual. Prices are okay. I would go back again if I was in the area.

I have asked them more then once from two different people whether it was "halal" and they said it was both times. The food here is superb. Not sure of authenticity of halal. The guy owner responds to salaam. The lady there does not.

I called this place up as I was in the area to ask if they serve Halal meat. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the answer, so I didn't go inside. If the owners can verify authenticity, I may return.

Owners should confirm if they use zabiha meat products.
