I went here after ordering some take-out at Maiwand Kabob House.  It's a small store that sells Iranian food.

I don't have much experience with Iranian food but I've tried a few things that's Persian.

What I got:
Barbari bread-it's a type of Persian flatbread in Iran that's 2 feet long.  It's crispy on the outside and light and delicious inside.  Best to eat right when it's hot and fresh or within a few days.  Cheap too @ $1.50.

Sadaf special blend tea w/ cardamom flavor-it's tea that's pretty light, good to make Chai-like tea, just add hot water, let it sit for a few minutes then add milk.  $3.99 for 50 tea bags.  

Sadaf Orange Honey $4.99 for 12 oz.  It sounds good, will try soon.

They have lots of Persian spices, raisins, ice-cream, cheese, etc.  Worth exploring.  I gotta try their baklavas that chowhound R. likes: "the one that's less flakey, thin and very dense and heavily perfumed with cardamom"

Store clerk/owner said I needed to buy $10 worth of stuff to use my credit card.  I had over the amount but just paid cash.
