Altona Kabob.. a long time standing restaurant nestled in a very busy Persian plaza. It's known for being featured on Anthony Bourdain's eats which is quite remarkable for a basic neighborhood shop.
This place is always busy and opens until 4am on most nights. Their food is prepared properly and fresh if you order their koobideh (burger meat Persian style kabob) or the juje which is the chicken kabob version and comes in either chicken breast white meat option or the dark meat leg meat option. The bbq'd meats are made fresh and hot over the charcoal flames..
However they also have an array of variety of selections of stews and soups and even Persian spaghetti that are displayed in the front case.
The food is pretty tasty and portioned right. The wait can be long so pre order by calling in instead then pick up.
The staff people in there are a little strange as they kind of stare at you for a bit and speak in their own language so I'm not sure if they're talking about me. Soo having said that sometimes I feel strange when picking up the food.. but it's worth it for the stares I get.. just hope they can re-train the staff not to make their customers feel uncomfortable inside especially when they're not Persian. This may be why I'm reluctant to order at Altona sometimes due to the staff's attitudes. Not too good.
