Eating the Globe: Iran
I was stuck in Marin County during rush hour so I decided to have Persian. This place had 4-1/2 stars on Yelp so I thought it would be a safe bet. Wrong! Sad!
I ordered:
GHORMEH SABZI – Sautéed herbs (Italian parsley, curly parsley, cilantro, green onions, scallions, spinach, leeks and fenugreek “shambalileh”) slow cooked with kidney beans, Persian dried limes “Limo Omani” and cubed stew meat served with saffron rice
You know when you eat something and you can just tell they didn't put any love in the food? Well, this stew had no love. And I don't know how many limes were in my stew, but the whole thing tasted like vinegar. Really bummed.
Tomorrow, I'm going to have Russian with Augie!
