Description

This is an elegant, comfortable place that serves wonderful Persian specialties from family recipes. A complimentary plate of vegetables and cheese along with taftoon bread greets each diner. The garlicky hummus and eggplant dip are among the best in the city. Fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks are not to be missed, nor are any of the fabulous kebab dishes.

  • 2011 | Best Middle Eastern Restaurant

    This Westchase-area restaurant located in a strip mall has been around since 1999, but the Parsa family has been in the restaurant business going on five generations, and they wisely haven't changed anything about how they cook classic Persian cuisine, such as the beef kubideh and chicken barg.
