    If you love Persian food, you need to go to Darvish! With the warm, delicious bread served with honey butter and an olive spread (so good), I knew I was in for a wonderful dinner. The eggplant appetizer with garlic, mint, and egg was amazing. The lamb and split pea stew had an outstanding depth of flavor and the tajin rice was excellent with a perfect crust.
