A nice little eatery along Grand Avenue in St. Louis is Cafe Natasha. The cafe sits on a corner lot in a red brick building that extends into a second storefront. Visitors enter through the Gin Room, a cocktail bar to the second room that has pale light blue walls, a chair rail, and a few decorative plates scattered along the walls. There is also an outdoor patio area for visitors; however, we visited when it was raining and instead nestled into a corner table.

Cafe Natash’s Persian Cuisine is, as the name suggests, a restaurant featuring Persian food. Tee room and the presentation are less of a grand fair, and instead provide visitors with the sense they are dining at a friend’s house. The menu consists of a large assortment of appetizers, soups, salads, lamb dishes, chicken dishes, beef dishes, fish dishes, halal dishes, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and gluten free dishes, as well as various desserts. When we visited we ordered the hummus, Jujeh Kabob Chicken Shish Kabob, and the Gormeh Sabzie. All of the food was well prepared and delicious. Along with our meals, we ordered drinks since the adjacent Gin Room is  known for having the largest assortment of gin in the Midwest. The cocktails were just as nice as the food, providing for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
