Thanks for the recommendation! I actually went to check out the fensenjon (I also forgot how to spel that) stew. I'm not sure if there were walnuts, but it's was more like a baked/roasted chicken covered in a thick pomegratne gravy. It cost around $9 or so. It was tasty and quite deliocious in the beginning, especially when paired with the great rice they serve.
 
Unfortunately, IMO the gravy is also quite sweet and strong tasting. I got tired of the taste somewhere halfway through the meal. Perhaps it's a good to order if you plan on ordering another dish to supplement the taste, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it as a solo dish for a given meal.
 
The other stuff in the menu, among the lentil stew and the squab also sound quite appealing. I will definetly return to check out more dishes!
 
On a side note, I was really enjoying their seemingly plain pita bread with onions. I could not get enough of it!
