Offering a variety of kebabs and lamb specialties, good food memories were recalled when we entered the place.
However, there has been some slight changes since the last visit. Not sure if it was the time of day or the phase in the moon, but the service was a bit off. Additionally, the pita bread accompanying the dishes was cold and a bit stale... Which was a surprise since that was not always the case.
For appetizers, the eggplant was roasted and shredded with olive oil.. Nice little mezze to get started:
The olives served were interestingly Greek olives:
Oversized salads, fresh and green with a light lemon vinaigrette was great:
The chicken kebab with rice was a collection of large marinaded chicken balls cooked on a rotisserie... Fantastic:
The lamb addition pictured was spicy and tasty and also meant for a team to tackle.
The black cherry chicken dish was a little different than what was expected. Having had cherry baked lamb and cherry dishes in the middle east, reminders of the potent combination of cherry and cinnamon were flavors that the palette was craving... Instead, the dish was exactly as above but with black cherries thrown on the rice:
The chicken and cherry combo was defiantly tasty, but it seemed several notches from what you would get served if you went to a Persian restaurant abroad.
Becoming a bit americanized, in the ethnic front a star has to be re-earned. Still, charbroiled meats and oversized dishes make it a great spot for a bite.
