Comments: Italian and Persian cuisine under the same roof? Who would have thought? I was super excited because this was my first experience with Persian cuisine - thankfully my friend is an expert. The restaurant was very cozy and cute – great ambiance. The food was good, but I think I still have to have it a few more times before I can fully appreciate Persian cuisine (it was years before I could appreciate Sushi!). I must say though that my veal was very tender and tasty. Our waitress wasn’t that great, but she seemed to be trying.
And a final note: my friend recommended putting butter on my saffron rice. This seemed very odd to me (being Chinese and all), but I've seen some other friends do it, so I tried it. I don't need extra excuses ever to put butter on anything. It really did make the rice extra flavourful.
