We are an Iranian family from outside USA that had a private party recently in Habib Restaurant's party room. Although the place is nice and the food is OK but the customer service is horrible.
I am sorry to say that the owner is a shame to every Iranian. Iranians are famous for being friendly and kind to guests even if they don't like them!
Because of the long distance, we had to make arrangements by phone. Every time we tried to talk to him he said he was busy and asked us to call back. And when we were able to get a hold of him, he was always rude and unpleasant. At the end, despite our specific instructions for the display of food and how to serve it, he did as he wished at the party, which caused us a lot of distress and unhappiness. He was rude to the guests and the service was lousy. For example, he served ice cream in small bowls without any spoon; the mother of the groom had to share an appetizer with the maid of honor instead of his husband and a lot more.....The staff was clearly terrified of the owner because they had to ask him permission to bring anything even an empty glass.
Persian cuisine is very nice and tasty but the reason that it hasn't become famous such as Greek, Italian or other ethnic foods is simply the lack of customer service and nice presentation of the food by restaurant owners such as Mr. Habib. But for those interested in trying Persian food, I am sure there are other nice and friendly places in the States.
