As soon as your appetizers come out, you know you're in for a treat. We ordered the Baba Gannoj, ($5.25) which is an eggplant puree with lemon juice, onions, tahini, garlic, and olive oil, and the Must-o-Mousir ($3.95), a homemade yogurt and shallot dip. They also brought out a small dish with chunks of Feta cheese and greens. Everything was delicious and served with great bread.
For entrees I had the chicken kabob with basmati rice mixed with sour barberries. ($12.95) Ryan had read a review about Persian food in general that raved about barberry rice so we had to give it a try. The barberries are quite sour so be prepared! Ryan had the Koresh Bademjan, ($10.95) which he'd also read was a must-try. This is a stew with beef, eggplant, and tomato sauce, served with basmati rice..
We were basically pigs and got part of our entrees wrapped up so that we could fit in dessert. The Roulette ($3.95) was really interesting, it was a rolled Persian cake with whipped cream, sliced peaches and pistachios. Not quite what we expected but very delicious. We also got an order of the Baghlava, ($3.95) a Mediterranean classic.
