Since 1995, my husband Mohsen and I, have worked hard to bring you the best Persian food outside of Iran (Persia). We prepared the menu to observe the Persian tradition of “cool” and “hot” foods. Each dish is balanced in this age old tradition that spans many centuries. In today’s science, “cool” and “hot” may translate to “acid” and “alkaline”. Your support, as well as the support of our “regulars” (who have become part of our family), together with our dedication to quality and authenticity have made this endeavor a success. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to introduce the unique flavors of Persian Cuisine to the Triangle area.

Now let's eat and noosh-e-jun which means, "may the food rejuvenate your body and Soul"!
