| Iranian or Not?
Im kind of consfused with this place as I have been to the Middle East and neighbouring Iran a few times. There is a very big difference between Iranian and Arabic culture and food in the same sense that Japanese is different from Chinese culture and food.
I beg for someone to prove me wrong but these guys have copied the menu off some Lebanese restaurant and added a few Iranian modifications and come up with an Iranian restaurant.
Belly dancing is not Iranian, these are an Islamic country with hijab (Islamic headscalf), you can barely see their ankles!
Their music is all Arabic tunes, as heard all over Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain, Lebanon...
Mezza is so not Iranian, hummus and all that stuff is Lebanese!
They dont know what to put for desserts, they just want to sell so they have stuck Tiramisu and creame caramel: Is that Iranian?
The Baklava which they cannot even spell is Arabic...ggrrrhh!
The positive side of things:
Mains were very tasty, very large portions but overpriced, my plate had two lamb kebabs, rice and cost over $40, but hey let me disregard the price... we shared it. That was the positive.
Service: Would have been nice if they had napkis on the table, would have been appreciated if we didnt ask for cutlery, would really like it if I didnt need a chiro after sitting on uncomfortable seating.
Belly dancer...she's a local and fare enough she tried hard but it was momentarily as we were not interested, again so not Iranian.
Try Banoo on Mohamed Sultan Road for Iranian
Try Sanobar on One Fullerton for Lebanese
Try anywhere else.
My recommendation is for CQ to re-evaluate their standard... |
