“ The Persian-style pizza took me back to those homemade pizzas Mom would make for us. The Tongue Warm Sub was also tasty and satisfying, but honestly, I would have appreciated it if there had been more tongue meat in the sandwich, though. A bit pricey, but the food was honestly enjoyable — so I think it’s worth giving it a try. I’ve been told that they also accept personal advance orders for special Persian dishes, including stews and specialties like Albaloo Polo and Zereshk Polo. ”
