    Food was good but they raised prices to a level that it isn’t worth the drive. The food simply isn’t worth the cost. They have jammed so many tables into the space that the restaurant has lost its ambiance. I dont think we will be coming back. Sorry to tell the truth.

    Food is good but very overpriced. Also, none of the beers on the menu were from anywhere close or related to Persia.
    Divan - VirginiaResponded on April 6, 2025
    Steven- We are happy that you enjoyed our food. We use high quality ingredients and Halal meats, which are more costly than you would find in a kabob house, as well as a better ambiance and service. We would absolutely love to be able to offer beers that are close or related to Persia, such as Back Home Beer, but alas Virginia beer offerings are very limited for restaurants. We hope to see you again soon here at Divan!

    We had a lovely evening at Divan. The food (especially the stuffed trout!) was delicious! Service was perhaps a bit rushed (not quite enough time between the appetizer and main dish service), but overall this was a very good experience and we will certainly be back!

    My family and I visit Divan regularly. It is easily our favorite local restaurant. The food is excellent, the menu is varied and the service has always been outstanding. I could not recommend it more highly.

    I didn't like the ground beef or stake Kobob taste. Stake Kobob had not fresh taste. Plus waiters takes rational orders they mistake my order. I have not said anything at the restaurant. Had my food but not great. I only like the environment. In general workers are nice they trying their best. I advice to organize staff responsibilaty. I had at least 8 different waitresses stop by my table.
