    Best Persian food I've had and I lived in Tehrangeles AKA Los Angeles for 40 years! The restaurant is gorgeous. The cocktails are creative, thematic and downright delicious and beautifully crafted. The menu is a good representation of authentic Persian food (with the exception of hummus and falafel - those are not Persian but I'll give them a hall pass). I particularly loved the bread and sabzi that is served, and a gold star for adding walnuts that were presoaked. We ordered the spinach salad with dates - fantastic! The Soltani kebabs were tender, juicy and flavorful. Just a phenomenal meal.
