This food is amazing here! Fantastic Persian food! Just need to advertise better. The service was fine once they got going but the place opens at 5 but only the owner was here. Staff didn't come till later. Once they got established the service was great. Highly recommend!

This is the first time that we ate at Lotus Persian Cuisine and won't be the last! The owner and staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We enjoyed every bit of it. They do not have a bar, but allow diners to bring in their own bottle of wine if they wish to have it with dinner. We were very pleased with this restaurant!!

It was our first time there; my husband and I were taking advantage of their Valentine's Day special. There was live music from a duo which greatly enhanced the ambiance. The service was not polished, but authentic and caring, in the finest tradition of Middle East/Near East hospitality. I had just returned from a trip to the Middle East, and eating there was like revisiting the best of my trip. I highly recommend it to everyone. We will definitely be returning.

Delicious food. Some wonderful dishes and flavors that we'd never had before. The eggplant appetizers were particularly great! The steak kabob was a bit over-cooked but still good flavors. Very friendly service. We'll definitely be eating here again.

Nothing terrible, but nothing to recommend. A truly poor pick for an evening out.
