I was even more star-struck when Bobby Chinn sat right beside me during dinner!!!
We were served with 6 Persian dishes (see images).
I have to be honest that the yoghurt drink didn't go well with me. It was too saltish. Maybe they can reduce the salt & add more dried mint leaves instead.
My favourites were the Hummus with Naan, Khoresht-E-Bamieh & Persian ice cream.
Hummus
A combination of garbanzo beans with tahina, garlic, lemon with a touch of olive oil. How do you eat this? Tear a piece of Naan and use it to scoop up the hummus.
Khoresht-E-Bamieh
The popular stew "Okra-The Lady Finger" in tomato base. This went really well with the tumeric steamed rice. Whets your appetite even more due to its tangy/sourish/saltish aftertaste.
Persian ice cream
This home style ice cream was flavoured with saffron, topped with pomegranate seeds & pistachio chunks. It has a unique taste. Those who are particular with food might not like this. I love it cos it's very refreshing. It helped to wash down all the savoury flavours of the previous dishes from your palate.
I would like to try the sheesha the next time I'm there!
