A friend took me out to this Persian place for the most amazing kebabs I've ever had. I wouldn't even call it a restaurant. One side of the place was this large grocery store and bakery, and then the other half of the place was like a sort of cafeteria thing, where they had some food in the window that you could get. But it looks like the most popular items are the kebab plates, which are cooked when you order them, so you have to wait a bit. But it's worth every second.
I've never had white meat chicken that was this moist and flavorful before. I also had this ground beef kebab and it was great too. I opted for a salad instead instead of the rice, and the yogurt dressing was nice and light. Middle Eastern and Meditteranean is sort of similar, and they're quite healthy too. It was pretty much a guilt-free meal. And cheap too. Everything was made fresh and it was worth the trip. I'm going to have to go more often. I probably should've taken a photo of it. I'm bad about remembering to do that. My food & travel writing instructor would be so disappointed in me. I don't even know what the place was called.
That reminds me - on Tuesday, I get to go review Blue Water Cafe in Yaletown - for free! It's part of the class, which is free for me anyway, but we're all going down there and then we have to all review it and write articles. I just hope it's not some set meal with stuff I don't want to eat. I'm kind of particular about certain foods. I don't do raw fish, green onions, fois gras or any other type of internal organ. Not a fan of oysters, or any type of weird mushrooms other than white button or portobello. Also not willing to eat meats like venison, rabbit, etc. But I'm sure this place emphasizes seafood, so I'm fine with that. Can't wait!
