Pita falafel sandwich, Fattoush salad, Halloumi salad
What Makes it Special: A Middle Eastern comfort menu that works well as an all-day set.

A Persian cafe-bar on Atlantic that blends kabob-and-rice comfort with a casual, drinks-friendly vibe. It hits best when you stay classic—one skewer, one rice plate, and a saffron-forward sweet finish.
Must-Try Dishes:
Koobideh kabob with rice, Ghormeh sabzi, Saffron ice cream
What Makes it Special: Persian comfort classics in a casual, cafe-bar format.
