History

Founder Mike Daryoush emigrated to the United States from Iran in 1975. He opened a small sandwich shop in 1987 in Bethesda, Maryland, serving a few Middle Eastern dishes. He changed to a Persian menu and added a clay oven in 1989.[5]

2000 shooting

On June 7, 2000, two jewelry salesmen were shot by a robber that had followed them into the Georgetown restaurant location.[6] The shooting victims survived and the perpetrator, Zachary J. Wages Sr., was arrested and convicted of assault and robbery.[7]
