The best Persian/Middle Eastern food in Boston . We always enjoy our dinner and service here. I highly recommend here and we really appreciate Yousuf’s helps to choose our foods ( because it is so many good options).

If you are in Boston, you must go here! I don't really eat red meat, but I devour the koobideh. We go here at least once a month. And the owner/staff have been nothing but sweet to us. Would highly recommend catering from them if you can. Zohreh is the best!
