Mirza Ghazemi, or charbroiled eggplant. Intense smoky flavor. Superb.
Above: Zereshk chicken next to the saffron rice that comes with the Gheymeh beef.
Zereshk polo ba morgh: saffron basmati rice with barberries, and the chicken below.
Lamb shank above, and the dill rice with fava beans below.
Above & below: Beef Gheymeh, beef stew with split garbanzos, and sour lime. Study in contrasts like all these dishes, savory against the sour, in others, sweet fruits against umami.
Lamb shank with rice.
There's not very much Persian cuisine north of San Jose, and we are lucky to have such a good restaurant and grocery in our area.
