Exotic smells permeate the room as we enter the restaurant through a store selling middle eastern goods. Turning to our right we enter the restaurant and order kabobs. The restaurant area is sparsely decorated but we don't mind. Some of the best food comes from little hole-in-the-wall restaurants with little or no effort put into the decor.
The kabobs were not bad, they just weren't anything special. The big disappointment was the rice. It did not taste like basmati and did not have the saffron I'm used to seeing with rice when I order koubideh elsewhere. There was a strange musty smell and taste to the rice that we just couldn't place. We left most of the rice, and some of the kabob on the plate.
This would have been a two star experience if it hadn't been for the amazing selection of different types of baklava for sale in the little store. That baklava was strictly 4 stars for both taste, texture, and freshness. We bought one of each kind, pistachio baklava, almond baklava, every kind of baklava you can think of. I highly recommend this little store for their baklava, I just wouldn't come back here to eat a meal.
