This fantastic Middle Eastern restaurant has been winning raves from locals since it opened for its delicious meat dishes, perfectly-cooked rice and more. Diners rave about the basmati rice, cooked with a unique process to make it tender and flavorful, and served with amazingly delicious charbroiled tomatoes—it’s almost a meal in itself. But don’t stop there; the kebabs are some of the best in the area, with perfectly-seared chicken, beef, and lamb tantalizing the palate. In an unusual move, they also offer salmon kebabs, which might be even better—the tender, flaky fish is spectacularly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Get a side of delicious, savory hummus and soak it up with freshly-baked pita bread. Diners on a budget stop in for the $9.99 lunch buffet, which offers some of Persia’s most popular dishes in a serve-yourself format.
