Currently the best place for Persian stews, not as plentiful in this area as they used to be. And stews are the yummiest and most original part of Persian food. Good buffet, too. Highly recommended. Fesenjan is a true sensual delight, also, chicken doused in pomegranate and walnut sauce, one of the great Persian dishes.
This restaurant is now open in a different location. Located in the heart of Vienna on route 123, it is still serving the traditional Persian food with reasonable prices. A bunch of us are very happy.
