Nasrin and kebab koobideh

This place looked to be one of numerous Middle Eastern (Persian for this specifically) themed joints that catered more to people who were smoking shisha rather than food, evidenced by the number of hookahs that were laying around and the people that were smoking them. But I was told that there was a kebab koobideh on their menu and it's been quite a while since the defunct Banoo or even Persepolis. True enough, there was a menu that offered a small selection of various grilled meats with rice along with finger food and assorted drinks. As my impression initially indicated, this was a place that people lingered over smokes. I found my way up to the carpet draped second storey where there were, more people smoking shisha.

What was unexpected of the kebab koobideh was that it tasted very much like mystery meat. That was not to say that it wasn't tasty in a savory way, but I had definitely expected that flavor of lamb that was in it. The lightly buttered basmati rice was fragrant and quite delicious and the grilled chilli on the side brought a welcomed kick to all things. Strangely, it was all very light in comparison to what I've previously tried. The suspiciously smooth and creamy hummus tasted more lemony than what I was expecting.

Down on hindsight, this place was actually quite pleasant to linger over apple tea, especially by the window under the rain.
