"Komaaj started as a pop-up serving multicourse Iranian dinners but now lives on as Komaaj Mazze & Wine Bar, a place for locals to gather over pomegranate rice and chicken and a glass of wine. Owner Hanif Sadr offers a taste of Northern Iran in sharable plates of cucumber salad, sumac yogurt dip, and sweet and sour chicken stew. Wines mainly come from the Caucasus region, which encompasses Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and northern Iran — though nonalcoholic options including teas and sharbat sekanjbin (a mint and vinegar drink sweetened with honey) are worthwhile, too." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria
