Everything I ordered was very tasty. I loved the lamb chops. I switched the rice that came with the meal to a different variety. This was done without any objections.

We keep coming back to Persian basket because it's so-so good. Our experience last night was the best yet. The management is bringing in good dervice staff and it shows. Our server, Harrison, was excellent. He was eager to please and did a great job. We had cocktails and a starter of the smoked eggplant. Oustanding. We then split (my wife and I) the Sultan kabobs. We like the meat medium rare. It was cooked to perfection. We paired that with a nice inexpensive Malbec and voila! Noise level was fine. We like having a small two-top and everthing was just great. Looking forward to going back soon. We'll bring some friends!
