Was planning to go to Burger Works next door but we arrived late and the place was jam packed for lunch rush. Decided to walk across the lot to Persian Garden and I'm glad we did.
The place reminded me of may of the Mediterranean places around phoenix with the usual décor; nothing extravagant but comfortable. We looked over the menu and decided on the Mediterranean salad to split, the falafel pita and the gyro. The kids split a grilled cheese. Everything was very good.
The salad was huge, enough to split between 2-4 depending on party size. I had the gyro which had tender meat and a really tasty taziki sauce, probably the best one I've eaten in phoenix. My mother had the falafel and reported it was quite good as well. Ended up eating the remainder of the grilled cheese the kids didn't eat and wow what a surprise. Not the typical American cheese on white bread. It had the flavor of parmesan on a good wheat bread with herbs, very atypical and a pleasant surprise.
If your in the area, and like Mediterranean dining, I suggest dropping in for lunch.
