photo credit: MSVGIn the former home of Samadi Sweets, they have kept the savory desserts. I like this place, it is mostly kabobs but now they have koreshes (stews) too and a very good Fesenjan at that, not too sweet. Good zereshk polo, when they have it. They are also now bundled with the Peruvian restaurant that used to be next store. Right now the lunch buffet is all Peruvian, but the Persian dishes can be ordered from the regular menu. Sometimes on weekends the buffet is a mix of Persian and Peruvian, interspersed with no commentary or signs, it works surprisingly well. A good hangout, and both places have been improved by the merger. Let’s hope it last
