This was a first time visit, but I am so impressed with the service. We went in close to closing to join our friends who had already been seated and served. Our friends ordered for us and when we arrived, our kabobs, rice and veggies were placed in front of us. It was tasty. The owner came out to greet us and our server was attentive and friendly. We would visit again. Parking right outside the building.

Do not sleep on this restaurant!! Ahmad is a delight as a business owner, and after 20/30 years of cooking he has it down perfectly. We were just passing through town and didn't want a super heavy dinner, so stopped by. While it was a quiet night, the food was impeccable. The restaurant itself is lovely - unsuspecting in a strip mall area - and the music just adds to the ambiance. Pro tip: ask for recommendations but really, just get the Tehran chicken. It has a little bit of heat and is so, so good especially with the roasted tomato!

Ahmad is so personable and welcoming! It has been years since we've been here and the customer service he gives is still top notch!! The shrimp kabobs were absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back...and soon!!!

We visited Ahmad's at their new location near 48th and Dodge, but I so wish I would have gone sooner when they were at their Downtown location (it looked so pretty). Don't get me wrong, the current Ahmad's is also beautiful, with a friendly and inviting ambiance of bright blue walls and gorgeous, large paintings. Well, we can't live in the past - on to the Ahmad's we know today! We visited Ahmad's with a group of 11 (our monthly "supper club" group). Because we had such a large party, one of our friends called in advance and spoke to Ahmad, who said he would definitely have a table ready for us (and even remembered my friend's name when we arrived). Ahmad himself is so warm and jovial. He made sure we were well taken care of the entire time, and cracked jokes as well to keep us laughing. He was also a one-man show while we were there and was handling it beautifully, getting to all the other tables and keeping each one happy, even though they were busy. Now, on to the food we tried: Appetizers! We began with a few starters, that were both amazing: -Hummus - I thought hummus was pretty much the same across the board, but boy was I wrong! Ahmad's hummus was so flavorful and definitely made with love. It came with some delicious lavosh bread for dipping, which got gobbled up quite quickly by our large group. -Falafel - I still dream about this. It's not the type of falafel you normally see (in round ball form); they are more of a handmade little patty of falafel, which I thought made it easier to eat, actually. They were topped with a sauce that was soooo tasty. I wasn't even sure what all was in the sauce, but I wanted more. Entrees! After those scrumptious starters, it was time to order our main courses: -Many in our group got the Khoreshts (with different proteins): They are little simmering pots of meat, with a plate of seasoned rice to pour it over. Each Khoresht also came with a small side salad and seasoned bananas A few tried the Jujeh Khoresht (chicken) and a few had the Khoresht Keimeh (beef). Everyone was impressed with theirs and joined the CPC (clean plate club ) -Mixed Vegetable Poloe: I was worried there wouldn't be many options for our one vegetarian friend, but she loved this! It came in the same little simmering pot with the delicious rice that our Khoreshts did, but the "meat" was swapped for veggies like broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and more, cooked in a garlic lemon sauce. -Tehran Chicken: This was SO good It was little chicken skewers/strips, with a saffron marinade, lime, and a seasoned mix of Persian spices. I ate this so fast, I had to share a little of my husband's Khoresht because I was done before everyone else Overall, I definitely recommend hitting up Ahmad's at their new location, because the owner, ambiance and food are all five stars!

He was very kind and caring. Food was nice. The place was very sweet. As a Persian, I guarantee an authentic experience of Persian cuisine... I have just never seen banana on top of rice before : )))...

Big shout out to Ahmad's for a fantastic dinner! I hadn't been since they left the Old Market and it was everything I remembered and more. Also huge props to the waitress who literally handled the entire restaurant herself. She was a familiar face to one of the best Persian cuisine, that has a been a staple for years. I'm still dreaming about the Baba Goo Nooj
