Persian food, usually kebabs on mountains of rice, or rich, fragrant stews. Gheimeh, a delicious stew made from beef and yellow split peas; lamb chops redolent of garlic and spice; and the kashk-e-bademjan, a smoky eggplant puree made to be spread on pita bread, are just a few reasons to stop by.

This Persian/Iranian restaurant is very basic, serving as both a restaurant and banquet hall. On this Saturday evening a large group from Nellis Airforce base occupied 2 long banquet tables with the remaining diners scattered around the large room.
We shared a delicious appetizer of Kashk-E-Bademjan, fried eggplant mixed with Kashk (whey) flavored with sauteed garlic and mint. We also shared an order of Shiraz, a Persian salad of fresh chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, onion and house dressing that was less satisfying. My wife's entree was Fesenjon, fried walnut pomegranate sauce, mixed with boiled chicken and a side of Basmati rice. My entree was another stew, Baghali Polo, basmati rice mixed with fresh dill and lima beans served with a cooked lamb shank in tomato sauce. The amount of rice served was almost overwhelming.
The owner, Amy, stopped by our table to inquire how we enjoyed our meal and ended up sitting with us for a half hour while we enjoyed complimentary orders of baklava and tea. 2.5 Forks out of a possible 5.
