Wonderful Persian restaurant that has recently opened. While sitting at the table, you can watch the flat bread being freshly cooked in the oven. The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The owner is very friendly as well. Overall it was a 5-stars experience and I wish them all the best.
