As soon as you walk inside, the earth-toned ambiance sets the tone for an unforgettable meal. The interior gives a sense of industrial chic with the restaurant’s high ceilings and exposed black pipes, adding contrast against the soft cream-colored walls. Beautiful gold chain curtains cascade across one section of the open dining room, adding an elegant touch.

This is the type of establishment where every dish is just as visually captivating as the ambiance.

The menu at Persian Basket is an exploration of fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. They also accommodate a variety of food allergies with labels for gluten-free, vegetarian and others listed on the menu. Start your meal with Kashke Bademjaan appetizer, a roasted eggplant dish that’s topped with caramelized onions and walnuts. Another popular choice is the local goat cheese served with sweet quince jam, honey and naan. These appetizers set the tone for the delicious dishes soon to come but if you’re looking for a showstopper plate, the Duck Leg Confit is the appetizer for you. Imagine perfectly crispy duck skin and tender meat served with a fresh herb salad and topped with a pomegranate reduction for that tangy punch of flavor.
Indulgence continues with the Persian Basket’s main dishes. The Ghormeh Sabzi Stew, featuring a slow-cooked herb stew full of tender chunks of beef, is a comforting classic. If you’re in the mood to treat yourself, the Spice Roasted Lamb Rib Chops are incredible. This succulent dish is served with fingerling potatoes and fluffy basmati rice.

Dessert is the perfect way to top off your visit to Persian Basket, and the Kunnafe never disappoints. This traditional Middle Eastern delight features crispy layers of pastry dough, finished with a scoop of fragrant saffron ice cream for a beautifully aromatic sweetness.
