Your celebration, our family table Private dining and events

When you host with us, I set your table the way my mother Iran sets hers in Tehran: saffron in the rice, more food than the table can hold, and the quiet insistence that no glass stays empty. A meal shared this way changes everything. That is what I want for your celebration.

Common questions

How is pricing structured?

Every event is proposed individually based on your package, guest count, date, and any additions like the Caymus Wine Experience or a hosted bar. Send an inquiry below and our events team will have a detailed, personal proposal in your inbox within 24 hours.

How many guests can you host?

In White Plains, the private dining room seats up to 40, and a full venue buyout takes up to 180 guests. In Chelsea, semi-private dining seats up to 25, and a full buyout takes 80 seated or 85 standing.

What is the minimum spend for a full venue buyout?

Buyout minimums vary by day, time, and season. Contact our events team for a custom quote. We'll work with your budget to create something special.

Can I do a tasting before booking?

We'd love that. For events over 20 guests, we're happy to arrange a complimentary tasting for up to two people so you can experience the food firsthand.

How does the deposit and booking process work?

After receiving your inquiry, our events team will send a personal proposal within 24 hours. Once you approve, a deposit secures your date. Final guest count and menu selections are confirmed one week before the event.

Can we bring our own wine?

We do not offer corkage, so outside wine and liquor are not permitted. We'll build your pour list from our 235+ wines.

Can I bring my own cake or flowers?

Yes. We welcome outside cakes and floral arrangements. We ask that deliveries arrive at least one hour before your event. A small plating fee applies for outside cakes.

Is parking available?

In White Plains, there's a metered parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant. In Chelsea, street parking and nearby garages are your best bet.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Our menu is naturally rich in gluten-free and dairy-free options. We accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and allergy requirements. Just let us know in your inquiry.

Is the food halal?

Yes. Both kitchens, in White Plains and Chelsea, are fully halal. Every private event menu is halal by default, with nothing special to request.

More questions? Our full FAQ covers hours, parking, the wine program, and more.
