"Bookshelves, potted plants, and cushions galore add a sense of cozy-chic to this Plateau Iranian establishment, best known for its breakfast and brunch. The menu is arranged in “chapters,” rather than meals, with desserts as the epilogue, spanning from omelettes to purées and dips, sandwiches, and herby, eggy koukou. Hemela Pourafzal, founder and owner, has added her own artistic touches to the décor, and it’s a genuine family business, with both her daughter and son involved." - Karin Murray-Bergquist
