Louisville is blessed with this fine Persian restaurant and with Majid Ghavami, the warm and gracious proprietor. Meals begin with a traditional Persian starter called Sabzi. Don't pass it up! Main course dishes are stews, salmon, kabobs of chicken, flank steak, ground beef or vegetables over rice, and a rack of lamb that has been voted the best in Louisville.

While none of the food is strange to the American palate, it is deliciously different. If you are not familiar with the Persian way of serving tea, I strongly recommend you experience it. Ask the waiter or Mr. Ghavami how this is done. A recent addition is the Persian Coffee. One sip and you are hooked. And for desert.....do not pass up the Saffron-rosewater ice cream.

If you are greeted by Mr. Ghavami, make sure to ask about his daughter, and ask that he play one of her CDs while you are dining. It is hard to believe that the voice belongs to such a young person.
