I was craving hummus and my friend almost ripped my head off when I suggested Pita Jungle ...so there we were ..at Pars on a weekday night. We were both Pars virgins but the reviews had been good so we tried.
He ordered the Chef's special --ground beef, chicken filet, and filet mignon on skewers. It was served with basmati rice and grilled tomatoes. This dish was $30, we shouldn't have been so greedy and ordered a second dish. My dish was the Beef Shish which also came with basmati rice. We also ordered the hummus I was so craving for.
Let me start by telling you the Chefs Special could serve a party of 3!!! My god, when the plate came out, I already started my food coma just looking at it. The 3 meat combo was ...ORGASMIC! The rice was soft and cooked just right. My beef shish was so so, I wish I had just eaten off my friend's plate. :) The hummus was VERY GOOD...we asked for extra pita bread just to wipe the plate clean.
Now on to the atmosphere. There is a little patio for outside seating if you're interested. The inside has a bar and...well, when I first walked in, I almost choked. The smell was ....overwhelming. In a bad way. This is a horrible way to describe the smell and I'm sorry....but I thought I was walking in to a rest stop restroom. /)_(\ SORRY!! My friend tells me that's how Persian food is supposed to smell like!! But man...it took a good 30 minutes before my nose was accustomed to the smell.
Aside from the smell, cus I know it's just me.......I gave this restaurant 5 stars for the quality of the food, the fast and friendly service as well as price. I WILL come back....and breathe through my mouth only for the 1st 30 minutes next time. Just because they're worth it. hehe.
