Divan Restaurant

I believe this was my first time trying Persian food. My friends and I didn't know what to order so we went with what our server recommended:Salade Alamut- Arugula salad with beets, goat cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette. It's a nice refreshing salad to start the meal with, but at the same time, not very memorable.Grilled Octopus - Grilled octopus drizzled with olive oil and vinaigrette. The octopus was grilled perfectly and was very tender.Mirza Ghasemi - Eggplant and egg dip with Persian bread. It was a nice little light appetizer. Kabob Torsch - Beef tenderloin kabobs marinated in pomegranate juice. This dish was a little too sweet and the beef was a little too overcooked and dry for me.Mahi Shekampoor - A whole trout stuffed with herb greens and nuts, on sauteed spinach. I think this is my favorite of the night. The fish was cooked perfectly with the herb greens and spinach. I would get this dish again.Mahechay - Braised bone-in lamb in broth. This was my second favorite dish of the night. The lamb and broth was so flavorful with the spices. I would also order this again. Persian Saffron Rice Pudding - I didn't enjoy this. It tasted a little too floral to me. I should have picked a different dessert, but everything else seemed non-Persian.Each entrée came with a plate of rice.Service was great. Our server was very attentive and patient in explaining items on the menu. The owner came over to check on us. The restaurant has a nice cozy decor. It seems kind of upscale, but you don't need to be dressy to be here.

A friend told me to come to Divan because I told him I was craving grilled octopus and he stated I would not be disappointed... and I was not! It was so good that I ordered two! Along with some grilled shrimp (which lacked flavor) and this Cornish hen dish (which is definitely plenty of food to share). Be careful of the green sauce the restaurant brings to the table with the bread (it contains nuts). The server did not explain what was in the sauce until I asked. Glad I did not eat it. The service was slow at first (and it was not even crowded), but then it got better. It seems like all the servers help with each table. The ambiance was nice and cozy. It is perfect for a date night. The majority (98 percent) of the customers were older. So if that is not your type of restaurant, you might want to find somewhere else to eat. There is plenty of free parking around the building.

Let's start with the food was great, especially the steak kebabs. The koobideh was a bit dry but didn't deter us from finishing all of it. The service was great, just a tad bit slow as it was super busy when we went. The dessert was great, I think I'm being haunted by rose water infused desserts as I keep accidentally ordering it when it isn't my favorite.Very date night esque, candle lit dinner and dim lighting.For the lovers and Persian food admirers, this is for you.

The food was absolute divine!! House bread was soooo delicious; we had 2 baskets. Smoked eggplant had its own unique taste was nothing like Baba ghanoush. We LOVE the saffron basmati rice with the crispy layer on top. Yummo!!!!!Amazing service! Although the restaurant is kids friendly, it doesn't offer a kids menu. They were flexible and made butter noodles for our kid. Our 4 yr old likes steak and we ordered Barg for him. Try the lamb shank! It's super tender and falls off the bone. Beautiful ambiance. Loud but we don't mind the noise.

OMG. Persian Food with a modern Mediterranean twist. Paella was Persian style with Turkish Beef sausages and more tomato sauce than saffron. Tasty seafood We had grilled octopus and an eggplant dip for appetizers. The bread and dipping sauces were a jalapeño base and a sumac base. I had to he stuffed trout while other family members had seafood pasta and a variety of kebabs. Service was impeccable and the waitstaff remembered our cousins. The day was sunny and warm so the window/doors were open for freshness. The ambience was modern and relaxed. Our Waiter was from Turkey and gave us a broad view of the cuisine.

The ambience was very beautiful with nice velvet wall decor and couches along the wall, and the host and owner Cyrus along with our waiter Raim was very kind and attentive to our needs and anticipated what we may need. This was my second time here and the food was just as exceptional this time along with service being very prompt. Will continue to come back with family and friends!

The food at Divan is really outstanding and the service makes it even better. People like Raim make you want to go back. See you soon !

The kabob torsh is amazing! The service was phenomenal. Shout out to Raih for making the experience for my friends and I great.

Amazing service, food, and environment. The people who work here love their job and are very passionate and proud of the food they cook. It is a great experience and I highly recommend visiting.

Delicious. I had the duck in cherry reduction. Our whole table had a great time. Sincere thanks to the very obliging and charming staff.
