Persian Ice Cream Restaurants

"This is a hidden gem. It looks like a very casual place, but the food and service is absolutely stellar. The place has a real casual, informal, and homely vibe. It’s actually a family owned place and the owner is very kind and friendly. We started with some tea. I took the Persian tea without milk and my partner took the tea with milk. It was a chilly evening in STL, and the hot tea was the perfect. Next, we got some falafel as an appetizer which was absolutely hot, fresh and crunchy. Next we shared a single platter. It came with three types of kabobs chicken, beef, and lamb, and two types of rice. One is a a specialty rice with berries I forgot the name), and another was the usual buttered basmati yellow rice. Both types of rice excellent. The kababs were simply the great. The meat is halal, and it’s cooked/ roasted to the perfection. We can’t stop eating. I have always been a super fan of Iranian kabobs, and this place has nailed it. To finish the great meal, we ordered some Iranian rice pudding which was similar to Indian firni. It was creamy, aromatic, served chilled, topped with pistachio the sweet level is absolutely moderate. The entire dinner was excellent with all the items cooked perfectly, with good portion sizes. Both of us shared singles plates and the portions were absolutely good for us. The only complaint would be they didn’t give any complementary fresh baked pita with salad, which is quite a staple in Persian restaurants in the US. However, that’s good in a sense, otherwise I find myself almost full after eating those perfect hot pita breads in the beginning. Also, this place is more like a casual spot to offer anything complementary. At the end, the owner came and talked with us. He is very sweet and kind to offer us some portion of their famous dill rice to take home. I never expected this behaviour from any restaurant. It’s almost like a family. They are very sweet and kind. I can’t recommend the place more. Do visit them, and thank me later."

"The kabobs are fantastic! Lots of great tasting kabobs and rice. Huge slices of pita bread to accompany your entree. Such an enjoyable casual dining experience."

"Overly crowded, busy and loud. Not an intimate date experience, if that’s what your looking for. We had reservations for 4 and we’re seated quickly at a table u set the stairs but the tables are all so close together we we’re getting bumped Into multiple times throughout our meal from every direction. Our drinks came in styrofoam cups because our server told us they had run out of glassware but from looking around everyone else had glassware aside from us, even newly sat tables. We noticed other waiters would go across the restaurant to get glassware for their tables so unsure if maybe our server just didn’t want to do that. It took awhile to be offered refills on our drinks and she took our styrofoam cups and brought them back checking who’s was who’s by the lipstick on the straws. Tables are too small for the size of dishes they offer. The platters are literally just rice and choice of meat. The chicken was good but left disappointed in the “filet mignon”. No sauces were offered. When asked we were told they only had Luisiana hot sauce. We ordered dessert for everyone. The ice cream came out first with 5 spoons. When our other desserts arrived they didn’t have any silverware available so they brought us 3 large serving spoons. Overall not the experience we were expecting giving how highly rated it was. I would not call this close to a fine dining experience. Will not be going back."
