About Persian Basement

Weekend feasts turn into celebratory dine-and-dance parties anchored by a traditional Persian buffet and live entertainment. Long tables fill with friends balancing plates of walnut-rich fesenjan, tender lamb kabobs, and freshly baked nan before the floor opens up to live DJ sets and belly dancers. Regulars point newcomers straight to the dessert spread for saffron-scented sholeh zard alongside hot tea.

  • Dine-and-Dance Feasts: Weekend evenings pair an all-you-can-eat buffet with live DJs, a dedicated dance floor, and audience-participatory belly dancing.
  • Sholeh Zard Dessert Bar: A dedicated sweets spread features traditional saffron rice pudding alongside fresh teas and regional desserts.

    I’ve never seen such an incredible spread at a Persian buffet. The sholeh zard was delicious. We went back for thirds on the desserts alone

  • Adaptable Hosting Under Pressure

    The management and staff step up under pressure, quickly configuring seating and maintaining bountiful dining for unexpected large arrivals.

    literally assembled another table in the foyer out of fold-out tables so they could accommodate our group of 10. And somehow the food was still plentiful and delicious.

  • Lamb neck

    Every dish I tried was exceptional, but the lamb neck deserves special mention. It was incredibly soft, tender, and literally falling off the bone—so flavorful and delicious that it transported me straight to the heart of Tehran.
