Although it sits in a Italian neighborhood, this authentic Persian restaurant has a large and faithful following of homesick Iranian émigrés. Lamb dishes with rice are the specialties, served in an attractive but not showy dining room. Among the many appetizers are traditional dishes such as stuffed grape leaves and spiced lamb tongue. Along with the requisite kebabs, the restaurant serves a variety of poultry and meats marinated in olive oil, lime juice, and herbs. Anyone looking for a hearty, traditional main dish should order ghorme sabzee, lamb shank braised with a bouquet of Middle Eastern spices.
