" Delicious food! I had the fesenjan and it was divine—tangy, sweet, and rich! The owner served us personally and made us feel right at home. However, I found the prices a little steep. Overall, good experience, and I’ll likely return for the great flavors and hospitality! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting from out of town, I was excited to try this restaurant. I was not disappointed! The flavors of the Ghormeh Sabzi were rich and comforting, and the crispy rice was a treat. The portion sizes were adequate, though I was hoping for a bit more. The service was prompt and friendly, making it a great experience overall. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the restaurant is charming and the staff friendly, I was disappointed in the portion sizes relative to the prices. The taste was decent but not as authentic as I had hoped. For the cost, I expected a bit more. However, it’s a nice spot for a casual meal with friends if price is not a major concern. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stunning restaurant with beautiful decor and great food choices. The appetizers were generous, but my main course was a bit underwhelming in flavor. On the whole, the dining experience felt good owing to the friendly staff. I might give it another shot with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance of Persian Nights is lovely, I found my food a bit on the bland side. I wished for more spices and flavors. Nonetheless, the service was friendly and inviting, which made the visit worthwhile. I hope to come back to try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
