The family atmosphere is comforting, and it feels like you're stepping into someone's home. The portions are ample, though I wouldn't mind if they were a bit bigger! Overall, this place is a treasure in Glendale, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking true Persian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
