1st time here after searching Trip Advisor for persian place next to our hotel. The place is very nice, located in a good area. The food was good and the service too. The only thing i did not like the extra 6% hardship charge. I wish I get 6% hardship myself :-)

We had a party of 12 the service was slow but our server was nice so it made up time. The food was good there were no mistakes and we were overall happy. We did order some cocktails my lemon drop was a bit watered down but the server happily took it back and made me a fresh one.

The food was bland and very overpriced. We ordered the combo platter which came with extremely small portions of three dips which were very average tasting. For mains I got the paneer kebab, and would not recommend anyone to get this. The paneer was rock hard and there was no flavouring or sauce to accompany the dish. Extremely mediocre food, for a high price point.

As always, Faz never fails. It was quiet in the beginning & I was really glad the place started to fill up. Shows people really like the place and braved the rain to come in. Our server Francisco & our host/ manager Grace were absolutely awesome. Very kind of them to comp the bread & the dip platter, thank you team. Also was a pleasure to meet Mr. Faz again at the restaurant. After our meal, he showed us his new Barbecue restaurant just opened next door MacPark BBQ. Looks awesome and will surely try it soon. Go team Faz👍👍🎉🙏😀

Creek salad was made by someone, I don't think he doesn't ever tasted creek salad, Lettuces with some oil, 2 olives with little bit of feta cheese. Chicken was fresh, was cooked well, it looked good but no flavor what so ever. Waiter was in the hurry to take the order and finish the whole thing as quick possible.
