| - Excellent food at a very reasonable price. I came here for lunch this one time and was surprised by how delicious the food was. Of course, my Persian friend and dining mate that day had suggested it, based on stories he had about it from other Persian friends.
He ordered for us. I'm usually a chicken-at-lunch kinda guy but since we were visiting Calgary for a day, I figured I could might as well indulge in some red meat. We got two orders of the koobideh kabobs. The serving of rice with these kabobs was a lot and would be sure to put me off to sleep while driving back on the QE2.
However, with the large serving of rice were two skewered pieces of ground meat, deliciously flavored and spiced. The meat was not just succulent and fresh, but also dazzled my senses. We had ordered a yogurt appetizer that we chose to wait with till the main arrived. Apparently, Persians like to have this yogurt thing with their meat. It was certainly a delicious combination!
The menu is of good size with enough variety, including grilled okra or something like that, if I'm not mistaken, for vegan/vegetarian folk. Great stop for lunch. Come with sufficient time on hand, since it gets crowded!
