Very disappointing experience. (Akbar joheh)The whole chicken was completely burnt and soaked in grease. There was not a single piece of chicken that was edible. The entire chicken was overcooked, burnt, and extremely dry. For the price paid, the quality was unacceptable. I am very dissatisfied with this order and would not recommend it based on my experience.
Mahsa was our server, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about Persian cuisine. She took the time to explain the starters to us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also ordered the tea for two with cardamom and cinnamon, absolutely delicious and such a cozy touch 🫖 Thank you Mahsa! 💁🏼♀️ Highly recommend this spot for authentic food. The portion sizes are huge, the saffron rice is rich and flavorful, and the charbroiled kabobs are perfectly cooked. Definitely a memorable dining experience!
Such a perfect experience at Cafe Tehran! The food was decadent, the service warm and attentive, and the atmosphere + music was so welcoming. We had a marvellous time and will definitely be back to try more of the food - after we’ve enjoyed our leftovers tomorrow! Thank you for such a lovely evening :)
Just ordered from uber eats, unfortunately I couldn’t select the buy one get one free option in the app and had to call them just to confirm. Their customer service lady responded with care and somehow we were able to manage the order to be delivered as buy one get one free. Thank you so much to their chef as well. Food is delicious like always, I had their Kashke bademjun and Loobia polo! Super tasty 👌 Thanks again to their team and persian hospitality ☀️👏
FOOD: Koobideh kebab ($23) was fantastic - very tender and flavorful, and came with vegetables and some tahdig (crisp rice mixed with some saffron). Had the vaziri ($29.99) as well previously - while I was not as big of a fan as the chicken/almond/pomegranate skewer that it came with (compared to koobideh), that is more a matter of personal preference. One main is enough to fill a person (and perhaps some leftovers), and the food is all very reasonably priced. SERVICE: Very friendly - and I have been three different times ATMOSPHERE: The menus, wall decor, and tableware are all well-designed. Great casual eatery I strongly recommend people visit and try this place, which I would consider a hidden gem.
Congratulation!
