We would recommend the kabab dish, it’s very different from Arabic Kabab.
Last weekend, after getting bored of waiting for an hour for our sushi at Noodasia, we decided to walk out and go try Fairouzi Persian restaurant down the street. We walked in at around 2:30, and perhaps because it was lunch time on a Saturday, the restaurant was very empty- we were the only people there.
The decor is nice, it has a lot of Islamic art touches that were haphazard and discontinuous of any particular tradition but still quite cool. We were surprised to see that the menu had more Lebanese dishes than Persian ones, and had to put extra effort in looking for the Persian ones to order. In the end, we shared some sort of Persian soup, Persian appetizer, Beryani rice, and a Kabab dish. The service was superfast, and the food was above average. We were both amused at how distinct the flavoring of the food is, making it very different from anything we’ve ever had- Arabic or otherwise. The bread that came with the food is also unbelievably good, unarguably my favorite part of the meal.
Otherwise, I am not sure we will go again. The prices are fair, but they’re the same you’d pay at an excellent Lebanese restaurant like Fakherildeen.
Have you tried this place? What do you think?

I tried the place in Ramadan, it was good, nothing special in taste or service, the people are nice and the price is above average, you can try it once only.
