f you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine that is flavorful, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection, look no further than Daffodil. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable experience The Food - Simply OutstandingEvery dish I tried was a masterpiece of Persian flavors: * Kabab Koobideh - Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection, served with fluffy saffron rice and grilled tomatoes. * Fesenjan - A delightful mix of sweet and savory, with a rich, nutty pomegranate sauce that paired beautifully with the tender chicken.I can confidently say this is the best Persian food I've ever had. Whether you're craving juicy kebabs, aromatic stews, or saffron-infused delicacies, Daffodil delivers a true taste of Persian cuisine. I will definitely be coming back--highly recommend to anyone who loves great food! 5/5 Stars!

The food is delicious, flavorful meats simmering and veggies with a baklava bar with absolutely delicious desserts!The meatballs are perfection, everything is so flavorful. The chicken and lamb are so tender and well cooked. The staff is also kind, they explained the food patiently & gave me free samples. Please visit this restaurant, and support a lovely Persian family owned restaurant!

I love this place. I will say it's a bit difficult to tell when they're open since their open sign is almost always illuminated and from the outside it almost always looks like the lights are off inside and sometimes I've gone to get some during their posted hours and they have indeed been closed. But despite all that, I'm a big fan. The proprietor is so friendly and sweet, and the food is so flavorful and fresh at such a reasonable value. I will continue to try to come back when I can because it's worth it!

This South Lincoln favorite scores high in my book. Located in a strip mall next to Eileen's cookies, this small restaurant is serving up some delicious home cooked eats. Most of their dishes here are pre-cooked and prepared, and they have them available for you to look at and choose cafeteria style. As you browse and peruse the options, they are happy to let you sample the food, as well as explain the flavors and preparations. I had a great time trying their dishes and ended up taking 6 different entrees home as a result (you can do half orders or full orders) for 6 entrees plus rice, it was around $55. Each plate of food is around ~$14. Friendly, family oriented place. Best for takeout as there's not a whole lot of ambience in there, but also there are tables for eating in. They are also at the Sunday farmer's market near Union College on the weekends- where you can snag rice with the stew type entrees or gyro meat on the grill. Highly recommend, it's like eating a warm, home cooked meal.

Great owner, great food! I have been trying to get here for a while but they are closed on Mondays. The owner gave us samples of everything to help us decide what to order, this was nice since everything on the cafeteria line looked great! The prices were a bit high, but I don't think they were overpriced: the food was great, that's what really matters to me.
