“At Persian Garden, chef/owner Mahmoud Jaafari sets out a menu featuring the nutritious, made-from-scratch specialties that have kept vegans, vegetarians, and health-oriented carnivores content for years now.

Every dish at Persian Garden, from the fabulous Purple Shoot to the deliciously off-beat grilled tofu and cheese sandwich, is infused with fresh herbs and Jaafari’s Middle Eastern sensibilities.

The restaurant is adorned with a pretty setting of Persian carpets, carved wood chairs, and exotic tablecloths.

The empowering message for vegans and vegetarians, who get no respect is: a healthful meal doesn’t preclude a gracious one.”
