This award-winning Persian restaurant boasts a warm, elegant dining room, hung with classic stone wall reliefs and a small waterfall. The muted green linen-draped tables avoid any dourness, with sunflower-yellow napkins bursting from the water glasses set at each table.
Billed as Baltimore's Premier Persian Restaurant, and with the award plaques filling the vestibule to back up the claim, the food lives up to the hype. Authentic Middle Eastern dishes are prepared to order. The complex spices of the region are highlighted with the freshest ingredients and original presentations. Orchard Market is equally comfortable for a casual business lunch or a romantic date night. If you're not sure what to order, try one of the duck dishes.
Be sure to call ahead though, as this popular spot is frequently booked for private events.
