Persian miniatures and medieval maps cover the walls of this beautifully detailed fantasy of food and art. The focus is on the Azerbaijanian corner of what is now northwest Iran, including exotically flavored specialties and dishes such as familiar (and superb here) eggplant puree, pilaf, kebabs, fesanjoon (the classic pomegranate-walnut sauce), and lamb stews. The staff obviously enjoys explaining the menu, and the wine list is well selected for foods that often defy wine matches.

The one local spot that serves Persian cuisine in a sit-down venue, and does it very well. Good service, pleasant ambiance.
