I have had the pleasure twice to dine in a Persian restaurant that Kayvan designed the interiors for.  The first time I visited I was so in love I could not focus and took random pictures everywhere.  This time I was less flustered and was able to take pictures of Kayvan displayinh his work.  I love the colors he choes and the over all feel.  He painted all the paislys by hand and molded all the details around the chandeliers.  The framed art works that are above both my head and Kayvan's are reief or embossed or raised carvings with a velvety or flocked surface!  I was naughty and touched them after asking for permission.  My favorite part would have to be the abundance of chandeliers, and the garden that is a sliver of one of the walls.  Last time I came during Persian New year and there was a table displayed so magically, with differant symbolic items.

On transportation, we (Kayvan and my parents) chatted with a grumpy old man and put on weird halloween makeup with the 24 hour red lipstick I had in my horse purse.  I was wearing a very furry outfit that day, and so our walk down Camden was full of question marks.  All the monsters and ghosts were happy to take pictures with us all night.  Unfortunately, Jamie Oliver's fifteen restaurant didnt have any halloween treats, but looking back at one of the starters and my drink, I have to say it looked a little festive.
