| - Went here on a chilly night and warmed up w/ a Persian tea while we perused the menu, finally settling on noon-o paneer-o gerdu, a feta and olive appetizer, to start with, morasa polo, a braised lamb shank w/ jeweled rice, and the special of the day, lamb stew.
The appetizer is a tasty and refreshing way to get ready for the main course. It's a plate of feta, walnuts, olives, sage, parsley and mint with a side of warm bread. Eaten altogether and the herbs help cleanse your palate.
The morasa polo is a heavy, braised lamb shank complimented with a light basmati rice mixed with dried, sweet and tart fruits. Nicely spiced without being salty, the flavors stand at opposite ends of the spectrum and work well together to keep your mouth interested.
The same can be said of the lamb stew special.
The interior looks warmly lived in.
Portions are good sized so we skipped dessert in favor of a long walk despite the cold.
