Persian Avenue

This joint offers quick meals that have a balance between meat and vegetables, typical of Persian Cuisine but without the fuss and pompous flare. The branch I visited I in the Robinson's Magnolia Mall food court. Servings are just right and the prices are moderate.nnThey had many appetizing dishes flashing on their flat screen. Unfortunately, they are limited in what they truly have available to serve. Honestly, it's almost a bait and switch scheme because I was really enthused but only to be disappointed. For drinks, they only offered bottled water, which can be both good and bad, depending on your blood sugar count.nnWhatever food they had available did not fall short, however. Take for instance, their Ground Beef Soltani Rice that was tastefully spicy but not overwhelming. The ratio of beef to rice was well balanced as each bite had juicy morsels of well seasoned goodness. The fresh lettuce and tomatoes provided the veggies necessary to offset the effects of a red meat meal. White onions added interest and texture as its crunchiness was the percussion to this symphonic delight.nnPersian Avenue is Filipino owned and caters to people of all backgrounds and socioeconomic status. Its draw is in satisfying a craving for the unusual and familiar. Persian Avenue is the least expensive way to let your gastronomic education cover one of the oldest cultures that's even covered in biblical text.nnOverall, if you're looking for a fast food restaurant alternative that is just as convenient and has as much character, Persian Avenue will fit the bill.

Decent kebab. Limited menu items. Literally ONLY 2 choices.

Their beef kebab is one of the best!
