Modern Persian cooking with standout kebabs and stews in a sleek space near Usher Hall; delicious but priced on the higher side with occasional service and portion-size gripes.

However, inconsistent execution during busy periods and occasional temperature lapses prevent a higher grade, while pricing sits above typical neighborhood standards.

One caveat: Some diners find portions light on protein in stews relative to price
