An example of an positive review: 3.75 First visit in years! I could've sworn I'd written a review, albeit a year or two *after* my very first visit with Mom and her ex- back when I still lived in Chandler ('04), or perhaps even before that, in Maricopa (horrors!). I remembered that he, a carnivore at heart, had the #31 Sultani, while Mom and I shared the # 19 Chicken shish. We also shared a hummus app. I vividly recall thinking Persian Room's pita bread stupefying, and I'm happy to report it still is! It was a hard decision to make- what to have for dinner, after seeing "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" last night (go see it!!), but I decided I'd wait until I could treat Mom out for sushi and to go to PR, instead. I tried to stop by for takeout on Valentine's Day, but my last minute decision, made after a public speaking class and a whirlwind two-hour writing session at the college library, was foiled when I encountered a packed parking lot, so I headed home instead. It was easy to find parking tonight, and it was nice to see takeout menus waiting by the first set of glass doors (there are two), where I could comfortably read the menu before going through the second set of doors and place my order at the cashier/host desk. The friendly female host took my order of Kashk O' Bademjan (app) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/a2ZBDIXmwBm7IWnXR6LK-g?select=A8dp3ThElnflQAyEU6LNXQ#A8dp3ThElnflQAyEU6LNXQ and #33 Naderi (from the section of beef entrees) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/a2ZBDIXmwBm7IWnXR6LK-g?select=GJNTuFYve2kjaT5XqTDdCA#GJNTuFYve2kjaT5XqTDdCA. Note that "all entrees include basmati rice, pita bread, and a grilled tomato." I asked how long the order would take to prepare ("about ten minutes") and proceeded up the stairs to the lounge to read my book as I wait. Or so I thought... It was my first time up at the lounge, and it's cozy enough. There are many two-top tables up there, in case you don't want to sit in the larger rooms downstairs, and the bar is comfortable enough to dine solo, or with a friend or two. There is a TV for those who MUST watch sports as you dine with your companion or unfortunate date... As I've said, I was only going for takeout and was only up here to take advantage of the lighting, but silly me, I asked if PR offered happy hour, and sure enough, it does! Monday to Friday, from 5p to 8p, happy hour discounts on beer and house wine ($4 glass instead of regular $6) AND a free app (hummus, hummus and eggplant, dolmeh, or yogurt and cucumber dip). And so, I decided why not enjoy a glass of chard with the hummus I had passed on for dinner? The pour was actually quite good, and tasty, and it paired nicely with the delicious sauce plate of hummus and a lone olive, topped with spices. Hot pita bread followed shortly... I was blissful! (Well, OK, I was very happy. Yes, I was blissful, too, but that praise rightfully belongs to my lovely therapist at SWIHA!) The takeout took a lot longer than ten minutes, but I wasn't going to argue, not when I was already full from my app and tipsy from the wine! I hope to return more often! p.s. I did get to try a few pieces of chicken and filet mignon (delicately marinated, yet flavorful, and so tender!), with saffron rice (so buttery!), and another large piece of pita bread to enjoy a bit of the eggplant app with. The entree was delicious, yet I don't think it's worth $21.95 for take out (see photo). I could see paying that while dining in, since I have to factor in service and atmosphere, but for takeout...? Ghaza aali bood, merci! p.p.s. Struck me a bit odd that I saw a lot of Asians, instead of Persians, entering and exiting the restaurant. A bit surreal, I thought, but it could've been the chardonnay... :)

An example of an negative review: I will never do business with any Half Price Books store again after my experiences with the staff at this store. I have been here multiple times and have yet to find someone who is polite or pleasant to talk to. When I asked for help trying to find the cooking section I was told "Why don't you just read the signs?" I tried to sell a nonfiction manual and was told it was out of date even though it was the most current edition available. When I tried to protest the woman at the counter told me she "clearly knows more about this" than I do. I came back a few weeks later to sell another manual that had ICDM on the front and the girl actually tried to tell me that meant there was a CD that was supposed to go with it. I tried one more time to sell some novels and after the clerk gave me a pay slip he threw my book in the garbage right in front of me. I also tried to sell a like new condition $30.00 novel only to be offered a dollar for it. I asked why and was told "it's a short book." I have never encountered anyone here who didn't make it very obvious that it is a waste of their time to serve customers. Even when I greet them with a smile and say "excuse me, could you help me find something?" They still give me attitude and act as though I am just in their way. It is very clear to me that the people here believe that it would be so much easier to do their job if those damn customers would just stay out of their way. I have already ordered my kindle and whatever books I have left are going to goodwill (which is just around the corner from this store.) I would rather give my books away for free than have an illiterate, incompetent and grossly uneducated person attempt to determine the value of a book they are unable to appreciate.

An example of an negative review: If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. Signed up for their mailing list, and then received an email from them this past Monday (6-24-13) announcing a sale on Camacho Corojo Cigars. I immediately went to their site eager to buy these cigars and do business with them. I added the Camacho Cigars to my cart and entered my "first time customer" discount code and proceeded to check out.... whoa... not so fast... every time I entered my credit card information it would simply bring me back to my shopping cart. After several attempts of trying to checkout I realized that I was stuck in this silly endless loop. I went home and tried it on 2 PC's and I was still stuck in the endless loop on those PC's also. So I contacted their customer service department via email..... Surprise....no response at all...... not even the common courtesy of a reply. As a resident of Arizona I probably should have drove the 30 miles from East Mesa to their store, but after this horrible experience and their total lack of customer service I will never do business with this place. Back to Cigars International I go..... where customer service is always superior!!! The "Cigar King" is obviously not even a "Prince" in the cigar world!!!!!
