Having spent their younger days in Tehran where Balbir Sahni, his Dad and his brother had a flourishing businesses, they wanted us to try Iranian food tonight.

The restaurant was medium size but very tastefully decorated. The walls were colorfully painted to provide detailed intricate patterns ranging from polka-dot tile patterns to a portrait of a Zebra donning its traditional jailhouse garb.
It was eclectic menu focused on Persion cuisine but included many vegetarian dishes. The names of the dishes were poetic and somewhat familiar to ears. While placing an order, Harvinder felt as if we were singing poetry. That made the excellent ambience set for an excellent and romantic dinner.
Beautiful set up
I am producing below the pictures of the dishes we ordered with their poetic names to give readers humming feel:
Stuffed Madhrooms with balsamic vinaigrette and feta cheese
Thanks Balbir and Loveleen for suggesting such a lovely place and hosting such a beautiful dinner. In fact Sahnis commentary on the ingredients and tastes of the dishes for a person like me, who is so ignorant and un knowledgeable, to be forced to lick my fingers all the way.
This was indeed one of the best dinners enjoyed lately.
