Persian restaurant

The first time I went there was the 2nd day it first opened, nearly 6 weeks ago. The soup was stone cold although I told them to 'zap' it in the microwave. The beef kebab was cooked when ordered and was very nice. The lady who served me I think was the wife of the owner(?) as she spoke very good english and wanted feedback.
The 2nd time I revisited the soup was warm but the beef kebab was always nice, so well done. I am used to larger portions of kebabs like the ones they use in the Greek Yiros but it was the closest thing I could get apart from a Shawarma or whatever it is called........

 

....and as a bonus the food court has WiFi! :D

 

well, not sure where you come from, but a pinoy food court outlet is certainly no bistro (which is simply a small restaurant)... and no restaurant like claimed in the headline.

Bistros and Restaurants prepare dishes fresh, food courts precook and reheat most of the dishes after it lays there for hours in the display and throw out the left over for half price or less when nobody eats it.

.. maybe for you nitpicking, for others a huge difference...

I would take my family anytime to a persian restaurant or bistro for a meal (old persian pallate 4-5 years ago was one of my favourite before franchise changed ownership) but certainly don't drive to a food court outlet with them...

 

The lady owner is nice, but the food looks like freshman high school home economics class fare.. (aka 2nd year college in PI)

She's going have to up her game to survive.

 

I take it you discussed this with her and you will be giving her the benefit of your culinary expertise then

 

You say that as if I don't have anything worthwhile to suggest to her?


Though I did talk to her, I have culinary ideas of my own to pursue.

She's on her own.



Besides, who listens to foreigners?

 

This lady we are led to believe is looking for feed back, Constructive Criticism is usually welcomed by those just starting out. Your criticism to me, was just a slagging off. This is, for the most part, one of the reasons people don't always want to listen to a foreigner, just complain and never offer any justification of the problem, we always seem to think we know best but can never, actually help by making a suggestion


BTW. do you have anything worth while to suggest to her?

 

What's this then? Handbags at 20 paces?
Thought this thread was about whether or not a certain food court outlet food was worth buying.

 

Well yes, it is but when I read a direct criticism without direction I would like to hear just what it is about so I do not waste my time trying it. saying it looks like a college offering does not tell me what the taste is like nor what prices are like.

 

The combo meal I had was 69Php and the Ginger Tea with free refills (which I did not needed) was 20Php, the Meal consisted of two Potato Burger, a mouthfull of Tomato, Cucumber, etc. a bowl of Soup and a cup of Rice, it was not filling but quite tasty, they hopefully will get better organized and make the place look a bit more "Persian" and get rid of the Bread Balls and have instate the flat Bread made fresh, that would be nice...
