I've been wanting to try this place and finally did recently. I knew about a lunch buffet but didn't realize it was also available for dinner. I like trying new things so I opted for the buffet option. Everything I tried was full of flavor. I don't eat Persian or Greek food often but it tasted as if I was eating it at someone's home...hearty and tasted fresh. I liked the variety of rice and stews available and tried them. I saw the pita bread getting replenished often. The sweetened iced tea I had was refreshing and not too sickly sweet. I only saw baklava for dessert at the buffet. It has a nice texture and it was sweet enough to end the meal. I thought $25 for the dinner buffet was a good deal. The staff was nice and our server stopped by often to check on us. The atmosphere is unassuming but honestly sometimes the simpler the better. Overall I plan to come back and have others come with me too so they can try!

Don’t be fooled by the building, it looks old and worn down, but the food isn’t. It’s an Iranian buffet, if you have never tried Persian food, it’s not spicy like Indian food, most of the food has a citrus base and they use a lot of aromatic spices, especially saffron. I’ve been to Iranian restaurants all over the U.S., not one comes close to the authenticity of Persian food as this place. The kebabs are tender and flavorful, the rice is perfect, and they have a wide array of foods to try including desserts. Highly recommend this place, coming back soon.

A really good selection of foods.
Very tasty and unique dishes. While I'm not a fan of Rose flavored anything, the saffron ice cream was yummy.
Too much to list the few stand outs are the hummus, the kebob, and that dill rice. Yum!

We recieved such a warm greeting at the door upon entering the restaurant. The service was great and the food was even better! Truly authentic Persian food! The platter was beautifully presented and the meat was tender and juicy! We paired it with salad, rices, and eggplant dip-and my favorite- the crispy rice tahdig- so delicious! My three picky children loved it! Between the large portions and very fair price point- we are most definitely going back! Thank you Mirage for a delicious meal and the warm atmosphere!

Don't let the outside fool you. It looks like an old restaurant but it is super clean inside and nice inside. Someone else said something about rap music blasting (totally not true). Great peaceful atmosphere. The food is delicious and amazing. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would.
