Teheran

Teheran is a Persian restaurant that looks like a country cottage dropped at the intersection of two busy roads. There's even a row of bollards at the front door in case a driver mistakes the red neon sign for an exit. That worry aside, the food here's amazing and this spot is a bit of a secret gem, probably because most people walk by and can't quite believe they're looking at a cottage, downtown. Try the lamb with the pomegranate sauce.
