Exotic, subtle Persian cuisine set in a seductive, comfortable atmosphere.

The Scene
Softly-lit rooms have you relaxed, but anticipating the meal. The decor includes Persian artifacts, calligraphy prints and detailed 16th- to 19th-century European maps and depictions of the region. With such a backdrop, dinner at Lala Rokh quickly becomes a culinary and cultural adventure. A handsome bar area is ideal for those waiting for guests or looking to enjoy a well-made mixed drink.

The Food
Don't be intimidated by the daunting menu; the staff is ready to help. Main dishes are mixed and matched with piquant sides and relishes, creating marvelous and interesting combinations. The food is inventive, as shown by the anbeh, a mango-tamarind chutney that makes a fascinating tart-as-cranberries foil for the joojeh ba ustukhan, which for laymen is a kebab of Cornish game hen in onion-lemon marinade. Finish with the achingly sweet baklava, bite-sized baklavettes or the stuffed dates in walnut paste.
