Restaurant opened and operated by people that have zero experience in the industry. It was chaos, both in terms of service and food quality, from the second we stepped inside. Tables of customers, total strangers, were literally bonding over their commiseration with the bad service. I feel bad for them, but these words are the truth. I wish it had been better.

Great decor but unfortunately they have to improve the food quality. The chicken was not cooked properly and the meats did not taste that great. Great rice, taste and presentation. I hope they improve the food quality as I live in the area and would love to have a to go Persian restaurant close by.

Food is great, ambiance is warm and well designed. The service was slower but to be expected with the demands facing restaurants in the current climate with staffing issues. Having said that, they pulled it off with a full house!

The food was awful, I ordered two different kababs and they didn’t have any taste like no seasoning! It was just meat! Persian kababs are all well-done but my Barg kabab was medium and it didn’t even taste like Barg! Grilled-vegetables was so oily! If it’s grilled then why is it oily? And it was just eggplant and squash which didn’t worth 20 dollars at all! Also mezze’s weren’t good too, Mirza ghasemi wasn’t really like how it should be. I took my boyfriend there who is not Persian and I wanted him to taste persian food but for his first experience the food was so bad and I got so embarrassed. I’m so disappointed and I’ll never ever go to that place anymore! Just waste of money!

It is great to have a new upscale restaurant in McLean. The food at Divan is uniquely Persian-Mediterranean and the atmosphere is elegant due to extensive remodeling. We will definitely return.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. One of the best Iranian/Persian restaurants I have been too. Beautiful and cozy setting and a very calming environment with mellow music and authentic hospitality. Apparently they have recently been opened. Memorable time. From host to every single person we came across was super nice. The food was super tasty. I am in love with Aash Reshteh and their Aash was just perfect to me. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We were pleasantly surprised with this new restaurant in McLean. It has a modern and sleek dining room that features Mediterranean inspired décor. The mood is relaxed yet upscale. The food was well seasoned. The restaurant offers a mediterranean-persian fusion menu. We enjoyed Persian appetizers and a Spanish paella as the main entrée. The wine menu was tastefully curated and the Italian bottle we selected was light bodied and smooth, making it a perfect pairing with our meal. We will definitely return and recommend the restaurant to others.
