Dave, I have dined at the restaurant a couple o times and have numerous deliveries regularly to my house. I find the food quite repectable and competent and as good as any comparable restaurant of ot type (Middle Eastern/Western Asian) around. The lentil and Persian soups are flavorful; the appetizers such as the yogurt with cumber; the Israeli salad (with chicken); the hummas and baba ganush nicely done. Main courses are decent, nothing memorable, really. I usually order the minced chicken or the lamb shanks. My wife likes the cherry rice as a side dish and the vegetarian plate. Good pita and Afghan flat bread. Desserts are standard MIddle Eastern which we always do without. For a neighborhood with so few really good restaurants, this is one worth tryiong out.
