" Pialon left quite an impression on me! I've been to many Persian restaurants, but Pialon's offerings felt genuinely authentic. I tried the grilled lamb, and it was tender and flavored beautifully. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu. I appreciated the effort they put into maintaining a welcoming environment; everything was clean and well-organized. My only wish was for the music to be slightly quieter so we could chat more easily. That said, we had a delightful experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pialon has quickly become one of my favorite spots! I visited recently and enjoyed a delightful spread of dishes including their famous saffron rice and kabobs. The quality was top-notch, and the atmosphere was bustling and lively. The only critique I have is regarding dessert options—they could expand on this. Nevertheless, I polished off my meal and walked away feeling satisfied and happy. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food, superb service, and amazing ambiance! Pialon has it all. The portions were satisfying, and the flavors left me wanting more. I especially loved their stews, which were packed with delicious spices. Highly recommend this restaurant! I’ll be back for sure with my family for another round of delightful dining.

" Pialon has quickly become a favorite of mine! The live music creates such a vibrant atmosphere, and the quality of the food is outstanding. I had a fantastic lamb dish that was rich in flavor and perfectly seasoned. Additionally, the service was prompt, making sure we were happy throughout our meal. It's a bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny! I'm excited to bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Initially, I was skeptical, but Pialon truly exceeded my expectations! The staff were very friendly, which made the atmosphere feel welcoming immediately. I sampled various appetizers, all of which were fresh and flavorful. Their hummus was one of the best I've ever tasted! My only concern was the wait time for our main courses, which took longer than expected, but the deliciousness of the food made up for it. I'll definitely return in the near future!

" I visited Pialon based on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was lively and full of energy thanks to the live music. As for the food, everything our group ordered was delicious. The service was attentive but not overly so, just the right balance. I would suggest trying their khoresh because it was delicious! Overall, a great dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pialon last weekend and was really excited about the live music aspect. While the entertainment was great, I found the food to be just okay. I had the ghormeh sabzi, which I expected to be a highlight, but it was somewhat bland compared to other Persian restaurants I’ve visited. Service was friendly but a bit slow. The atmosphere, however, was vibrant and full of life, making it a fun place to dine. I might give it another try since I do hear good things from others. " (*Curated Review*)
