This restaurant is a must visit in Medellin. One of the best restaurants I've been to. I can't believe they flew two chefs to Colombia just to set up the menu. It's highly underrated, make sure you go for lunch, especially since dinner time might get busy.

This place was a step up from grill parsa. Food was okay, none persian flavors. Staff were nice and friendly. They played persian music when I placed my order, which was shocking, but a very nice touch.
