| - Yum! I've always wanted to try Conflict Kitchen, but it was impossible for me to go because of the hours they previously had. Now they're open for much longer hours (I THINK 11-6), and they're located in Schenley Plaza! Win!
I've gone to the Iranian one twice already since they opened in Schenley plaza....last week. Yes, I like it so much I've gone twice in one week! I tried a number of things within in my two visits. I got the vegetarian sandwich...I do not remember what it was called. It was delicious, though a bit messy. I also tried the yogurt dipping sauce. The yogurt sauce was delicious, but the bread was the real winner here. It is kind of like pita...but salty and sweet kind of. I saved half of my yogurt sauce and plan to go back and buy more bread for it today!
I also tried the bread with cheese and walnuts. The bread here was a little dry--not sure if it's different bread or what. It was kind of hard and flakey...not at all what I was expecting. It was not bad, but I highly doubt I'll get it again even though it was the item I was most looking forward to trying.
The fruit drink was good, but a bit small. It was only a dollar, I think, but I'd have been willing to pay more for a larger option.
For dessert, I tried the rice pudding. For those of you who know arroz con leche...it is not at all like that. It's not sweet, but it comes with I think some kind of cherry sauce on top of it. Mixed with the cherries, it was a pleasant dessert, but I still love me some arroz con leche with cinnamon a bit more!
The staff was incredibly friendly and patient with those of us who had questions about the menu. While they were not accepting cards when I went, they promise that they will be accepting cards soon. I was told they would be accepting cards by this week, but when I went yesterday they still were not. Make sure you bring cash, just in case. It is a little pricey if you want to try a bunch of different stuff, but the sandwich itself would have filled me up for lunch just fine. The problem was that I wanted to try everything!!!
Finally, the CONCEPT. It is the coolest concept, and I really liked the informative paper that came with my sandwich. I saved it so I can read it later! I really believe if we all understood each other just a little better, there would be so much less war and conflict. And really, what's the best way to get to know a culture other than to understand their eating habits and traditions. I cannot wait to try other versions of this restaurant. I am hoping they bring back the Cuban version, and I'd also like to see some more Latin American versions. Aren't we pretty much always in "conflict" with that region?
