Contrary to popular belief and current propaganda, the Middle East was and actually is quite a civilized place. While my ancestors hadn't even discovered washing their hands, those in the middle east had invented algebra and astronomy.
This fine tradition continues with a most excellent water closet, courtesy of the Caspian Bistro on University.

The men's room is identified by an exotic looking tile piece of a (presumably) Persian man. Good to know, so you can avoid the wrong one.
Upon walking in the door of this restroom, I felt an amazing sense of elegance as I walked into it. First glance makes it obvious that this is no common dumping ground.
It looks like the owners of the Caspian Bistro put a lot into the tile work and atmosphere of the restroom, which really contributes to a really classy experience. It's a dark green, with contrasting accents, and two, modern style mirrors. It's topped off with a potpurri basket in the corner of the sink area.
The overall smell is good. Not like "you'd wanna spend the whole day in there good," but for a bathroom it's good.
The toilets and sinks are a bit of a let down after the initial impression of the tile work. They're really quite standard, nothing new or fancy. An upgrade to something fancier wouldn't be unwelcome, but they work and they're clean, which is more than most public bathrooms can say.
Overall, the bathroom really gives me an excellent comfortable feeling, which carries over into the restaurant area. The dining area boasts excellent Persian knitting on the walls and a fine mural.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 flushes. It misses 5 only because of the disparity between the plumbing and the rest of it.
PS
The restaurant is awesome as well. Try a mango juice and the lamb shank (33 or 44 on the menu). Check out the grocery store when you're done.
