Yeah depends on perceived value. If the more expensive and smaller portions taste better in usually happy.

If they don't probably won't go back.
This IS a good place, but that dish is a bit overpriced. But like I said, it’s something I had been craving for a while, sooooo...

Decided to try Persian. Turns out it's Persian/Afghani. Ordered Saffron Chicjen

Paid and barely sat down and they brought over soup.

About 5 minutes after that (if that).

Well it's exactly chicken on naan. Came with yoghurt and chutney. It was beautiful and haven't had Persian for a long long time.

It was around $3 more than a large McDonalds combo no contest. Cooked in a charcoal grill.

So quick I had time to nibble on the Souvlaki at other place.

Menu (most of it)

Experimental dish with fried halloumi, orange bell pepper, sugar peas, red chili, leek, small cherry tomatoes, and some crushed walnuts. Lots of black pepper, then stirfried in red balsamic vinegar and topped with garden cress. Served with hard bread.

The Halloumi took colouring from the balsamic vinegar, and also hid underneath the vegetables. Some of it can be seen at the left. Was quite ok, but it definetly needed to be eaten directly, not as good if it had gone cold. The sugar peas was not planned originally, but I thought they might make for a good add-on. The leek got a little bit too much cooking so it lost it crunchiness.

Pretty plate!


Well, today we had a kitchen disaster for our personal record books. Not the worst, but still...

Long story short, a few weeks ago, we bought what we THOUGHT was chocolate flavored coffee beans, but they turned out to be dark chocolate shaped like coffee beans. They were a gift to my Dad.

We didn’t figure this out until he tried to use them to make coffee for some guests today.

At the very least, his grinder may have been ruined. Apparently, ground up dark chocolate sorta liquifies when placed in a grinder like that. Gummed the thing up NOICE!
