| - This. Place. Is. AMAZING!
We watched a play nearby last night and by the time it was done, we were starving! It was 11pm, and we were looking to EAT. This place is open 24 hrs! And they were very busy at this time of night, the restaurant was pretty full, and new customers were constantly arriving.. and I could see why -- the food was SO good and the servers were SO friendly.
I've never had Persian food before, and I can't believe I've been missing this my whole life. We ordered the Gheimeh Bademjan, which is a stew of veal with roasted eggplant and a delicious sauce. The flavours were like nothing I've had before, in the most magical way possible. It's served with a huge plate of rice (and of course, naan, onions, and some other garnish for the table). I ate the WHOLE thing even though I was stuffed after eating half the portion (I may have unbuttoned my jeans on my way home).
My partner got the lambshank and dill rice. That was also very good -- the meat was falling off the bones! I will say that compared to my very-flavourful stew, this dish was a bit bland, but it was still very delicious.
Now that I've discovered this place (and my apparent love for Persian food) I will DEFINITELY be back -- especially because it's open 24hrs!! It's worth the drive!
