| - How does a lamb shank dinner for $9.99 sound? Doesn't the fact that it comes with a pop make it that much better?
Ava Food Market has a little Persian food hot counter setup going in the back of their market. I knew they did, because I saw their hot plate combos advertised outside. I just struggled to find it when I got into the market. That's okay. It was worth it. I've been on a bit of a Korean food kick for the last year and a half or so, but when I'm not craving Korean food, I'm craving Persian food. I came to this plaza with the intent of going to Sushi House next door, but I got sidetracked when I saw this place. Koobideh kebab and rice (and salad) for $7.99. Lamb shank dinner with rice (and salad) for $9.99. Koobideh on a pita (with salad) for $4.95. I had to check it out.
Ended up getting both the koobideh kebab and rice, and the lamb shank and rice to go. Was a bit confusing, because where I ordered and where I was supposed to pay were two different places. It's okay. It all worked out fine. The koobideh was grilled to order. 2 kebabs in one order. Served with a charred tomato over rice (either dill rice or plain rice). I got dill. I love dill rice. The koobideh is one of the more flavorful koobideh's I've had. I'm impressed. Technically, I didn't need to buy anything this time because I had ordered food next door before coming, but I caved and got the lamb shank as well. Fairly large lamb shank. One of the largest I've seen in a lamb shank dinner anywhere. Also served with dill rice, mounds of dill rice. So much dill rice. Mmmm. Dill rice. The lamb is flavorful. Could be slightly more tender, but for that price, I'm definitely not complaining. I'm also having it slightly cold, so that might have something to do with it.
(This place loses one star because the meals were supposed to come with salad, but neither did. Oh well. Still a solid, cheap meal, even without the salad.)
All in all, a great place to go to grab a cheap meal.
Side note, there are a few seats available if you want to eat in.
