The third time in the past nine months? That’s pathetic. I don’t know if health inspectors are allowed to permanently shut down a restaurant. if so, this restaurant is a strong candidate. This place is disgusting.
You’re right.
With the heat the way it is I guess everyone (even the roaches) need a place to cool off.
Never heard of or eaten here.
I know you cant help a bug or 2 in your home but this seems excessive for a restaurant. Especially if you’re watching how many other places are being shut down. Definitely makes me reconsider where I choose to get food. Best bet….cook at home!
Gross. Clean up your act or shut down.
Persians are Iranian. But to avoid the stigmatism of their home country they use the name of an ancient civilization from the same region
What really scares me is that people still dine there after three infestations. How is this place still operating?!? Buying a subscription to an on-call exterminator is not expensive.
I’m starting to think that movie “Ratatouille” was all make believe.
Sounds like a school science project gone bad!
Give the restaurant a little credit please.
At least no wiggling antennas were spotted.
These weren’t fraidy roachs hiding in cracks wiggling their antenna . These are macho roachs looking at the inspectors saying ‘bring it MF” lol
Lazy a$$ owners
