Soltan Banoo

This is located in University Heights. It has great ambiance and the food was really good as well. It isn't open very late, so get there early enough to check out. You won't be disappointed.

The mother and daughter trio have made this place such an amazing place to be at! The warm friendly environment with the friendly enthusiastic workers makes it all the way worth it! The food is awesome! Try it! It's absolutely lovable!

This reasonably priced North Park restaurant offers wonderful Persian home cooking and has an extensive menu of traditional dishes, plus specials (many vegetarian options), a substantial variety of teas and wonderful exotic desserts, including a nibble size sampler. Servers and cooks are a warm, friendly and talented mother and sisters who welcome all guests like family and are happy to make suggestions if asked, concoct special requests and always seek to offer something new to their already great menu. Everything I've ordered has been delicious, every guest I've brought instantly falls in love, and wants to return. Decor is eclectic but cozy. Indoor and outdoor dining available. www.soltanbanoo.com
