“I had an amazing dish last night at Masquerade bar, an Iranian bar with small plates. They serve marinated olives that are in this delicious addictive pomegranate molasses sauce, possibly also ground walnuts.”

replying to u/Kid_of_Bellona: In terms of olive dishes at a restaurant, I had an amazing dish last night at Masquerade bar, an Iranian bar with small plates. They serve marinated olives that are in this delicious addictive pomegranate molasses sauce, possibly also ground walnuts. It’s in Williamsburg.

replying to u/winkingchef: Iranian here. This spot has some great authentic flavors with a cool twist. Nice cocktails too. Wish there were more employees that actually understood what they were serving. If you want a real Iranian-feel spot with great food and drinks, check out Masquerade. They are good people and give back to the community.
“Masquerade is cool but they’re more of a small bites and cocktails spot.”
