Joon

Sort of a reboot of the original Layla's Persian restaurant. Simple, no-frills comfort foods populate the menu, the kind of fare a Persian grandma might make for weekday dinners. Fesenjoon, a stew of slow-cooked chicken and pomegranate molasses with grated walnuts, is a standout. So is the  khoresh-e-gheymeh, a stew of diced beef, onions and yellow split peas. Vegetarians have several choices as well,  roasted eggplant mirza ghasemi. $3-$18.
