Amazing Persian food. I was completely blown away despite coming in with a fairly good expectation to get good food. Decor and food fell in line with what I expected or would have imagined when entering. A bit of a wait for great food is completely worth it and portion sizes were generous and made up for the cost of dishes.

I come here very often, and I bring my friends. I love the salad. I bring my family and my neighbors. I’m a world traveler and I know the food. The restaurant owners Mohsen and Hadi are very gracious and friendly! I love them as my own friends. I’ve known them for 15 years. The food is delicious and fresh. The ambience and the decorations are simply aesthetically appealing because they’re all from Iran. They’re all authentic. I have also met Mohsen and Hadi’s friends they have become my own as well. Wonderful people.

I come here every year with folks from Am Tikva for Purim. It's something we all look forward to! The food is amazing and the staff are so welcoming, and remember us each year. We do make a reservation but it's for a party of 10 or 15 people; for a small party, it's probably not necessary. Everything on the menu is highly recommended. If you're in Watertown and want Persian food, this is the place to go. (I live in Jamaica Plain or I'd be here more often.)

This was my first visit to Molana, and it won't be my last! Everything was excellent and the owners were so friendly and accommodating. I want them to know how much I appreciate their dedication to good food and good service. And I can't emphasize the service part enough. Rather than merely a customer, they treated me like a guest, and they took good care of me while I was there. Not only that, but my food tasted great, the portion was big enough to get two meals out of, and it was all for a reasonable price. Also, I would highly recommend the Persian Ice Cream. I had some and it was the perfect end to my meal. Rich, flavorful, yet not too heavy and it was not like anything I've ever had before. I can't wait to come back again and see what else they have to offer. Thanks again to the staff for making this such a memorable experience for me and I hope to be back soon.

Delicious Persian food and their customer service is also very good. I got take out but will go back with my family for dinning in. Very nice atmosphere as well. 100% recommended.

This is literally the best Persian restaurant in the "Greater Boston" area in Watertown, MA! Definitely an unforgettable experience the owners are incredibly friendly I'm very close with both of them they are welcoming. The service is in a timely manner it's done in a great way. The atmosphere is dimly lit and cozy with authentic art pieces hung on the walls directly from Iran. It almost feels like you're stepping into Iran but in a restaurant for an evening or whenever you choose to eat. The prices are reasonable and the food is a definite wonder because once you try the food you can't stop coming back I personally come back to this restaurant probably four times a week every week just because the food's delicious, service is awesome, and the owners and servers are super friendly! I bring everyone that I know to this restaurant as my go to place for eating out whether that's for lunch or for dinner. Each person or people here they can't stop coming back and they always want another meal at Molana Restaurant. Not to mention I referred many people here and they all love the food here. A definite go to restaurant choice at the top of any food lover's list! I highly definitely recommend this place for anyone who's doing either, dine-in, take-out, or delivery!

Only reason anyone would know this place exists is either they stumbled on it or someone told them about it. It is unassuming and semi-tucked away; you wouldn't actually notice them unless you're actively looking. However, that unassuming feeling disappears once you find yourself inside the establishment. There is this feeling that I cannot explain that sends shivers up my spine. One can’t help but feel welcome here. Rose is an amazingly friendly soul that just puts you at ease with the tone of her voice. Even the other customers are friendly with the way they acknowledge you as you walk by towards wherever you’re seated. There is happy banter in the air and friends of the establishment would often show up and make themselves immediately at home. You get the point. You’re welcome here. But what makes it so special to me now is always the food. And for what they already offer to start, that states quite a bit to what I think of this place. There are many Persian/Middle Eastern fare in this area and most serve the usual so nothing seems to really stand out. That is, at least, until you order their Jujeh Kabob (grilled Cornish hen). Sounds simple, looks simple, but the depth of flavor and the tonguegasmic moments you have partaking of the dish changes their level in the culinary game in the area. It was so good, so so good, I felt completely blown away. I raved about it to Rose, who then told the chef-owner, and then told her I’d be back the next day just to try it again. No way it could be that good I thought. I had to come back again to make sure it was indeed the case (instead of ordering it for “dessert” right in the moment). Well, I showed up at lunch again the next day for exactly the same dish. I just had to. I was hooked. I was made a perma-fan. As I write this, I know I’m about to do what most crazy foodies do as they gain traction in their mind. Get ready and go get some more. Time to wrap this up and head there. See you around some time. Definitely recommend their Jujeh Kabob beyond words.

Very delicious authentic Iranian food and great customer service. We loved the atmosphere as well.
