Great food. Good price. Just a little small. 

This business would be at a greater advantage if they could somehow figure out a way to accommodate the large number of customers that choose to dine here. It gets pretty stuffed on Fridays. They have an amazing buffet for only $9.99 per person (minus tax) on Fridays and Sundays. There is a huge selection of food and it tastes AWESOME! Service can be a little lacking sometimes.

This place does not look like anything special from the outside. In fact, you can’t really tell that it’s a restaurant. It’s located behind a gas station and placed next to a grocery store. The front does not show any signs of life inside, except the voices from behind. Once you are seated inside, it’s a cozy living room space turned into an eating area. The food seems a bit expensive when you read the menu with the prices, but the portions are HUGE. It’s well worth the money.

They brought some pita bread wrapped in cloth.

We ordered a salad and ate it with the pita bread.

The main dish I ordered was called Fesenjon. It’s a chicken stew simmered in pomegranate sauce. It had a sweet taste and the tender chicken pieces went well with the sauce. It cost $12.99 and I think the portion size was generous. I ended up taking a large portion of it home since I was unable to finish it.

This is my dad’s all-time favorite restaurants.
