Just ate the leftovers from my visit last night...yum! This was my second visit to the Persian Room and turns out the first wonderful experience over a year ago was not a fluke. The portions are very large, plenty for two to split and still feel full. I was in a party of six and we had the pleasure of sampling each other's meals.
We started with appetizers. I could see myself going there just to get them. The dolmehs (stuffed grape leaves) were delicious, the hummus was creamy and had well balanced flavors. The yogurt & cucumber dip was refreshing (love the bits of currants!) I especially enjoyed the hummus and eggplant delight. And of course the fresh hand-made pita is something to cherish!
The meal was super tasty. My husband had the lamb and loved it (I don't care for lamb.) I had a combination meal filet and beef koobideh and it was very good. Strangely though, the filet was cold when I got it. Another person in our party had the same issue with their filet. He sent it back, but I decided since I was not going to finish the meal until today I would just pack the filet and eat the koobideh. The waitress was very nice and accommodating and got the food back to my friend quickly and at the preferred temperature. As for my filet...it was even more scrumptious this afternoon. Next time I'll try the chicken barg or chicken shish because someone gave me a chunk of their's and it was tender and flavorful.
We all had the Persian ice cream and baklava for dessert. They are both made in house and well-made. The flavor of the ice cream is unique and memorable. The baklava was not overly sweet and was perfectly flaky. What a way to end an already wonderful meal.
