At last a place for auethentic Persian food near the Cool Springs area. The Fat Mo family ran restaurant serves up some traditional Persian dishes that do not disappoint. If you have never tried Persian food you're missing out, and if you want to then this is the place to go. Genie herself will help explain what is in each dish if you make it for the buffet between 11:00-3:00. The buffet has a large variety to chose from such as, lamb shanks, eggplant, chicken kebab(awesome), okra, gyro, safron rice, veggies, soups, stews and homemade yogurt sauces. One must try item is the sweet and sour pomegranate paste. Put it over some rice and you wont be able to stop eating it. The price is kinda up there at $9.00 a person but the variety makes it well worth it. The regular menu looks a little pricey but my guess is each entree could feed a family of four. For a lower fare you could get a wrap with either beef kabab, chicken, or persian style chicken salad for around $6.00. Awesome chi (persian tea). The only downfall may be the small seating capacity and the ""gotta look for it"" location. Other than that Genies is a great choice when looking for that new food experience. Can't wait to try everything else.
Pros: selection, originality, authentic, the only persian restaraunt around, very friendly, Mom and Pop style charm, better than the greek ""fast food"" cafes
Cons: low seating capacity, gotta look for it location
