Again, courtesy of my 12 year old, we visited this restaurant. The story is, my son achieved 5 A's in his school exams and was rewarded by his aunt (my sis) with a Groupon voucher for a meal at Naab's.
So, another meal, courtesy of my dearest son.
Naab has a very nice ambiance, with soft middle eastern music playing in the background. and a very very friendly staff. They immediately served the three of us with drinks, even though, the coupon was for two. Hats off to them!!
Naab offers a wide variety of celebrated Iranian and Middle Easter cuisine. The lemonade, lightly spiced with mint leaves was very refreshing.
First we were served with Mirza Ghasemi, a mix of smoked eggplant and tomato, topped up with egg seasoned with garlic. You have to eat it with bread. At first, the combination of egg and the eggplant mash looked a little weird.Surprisingly, tt was a fresh, nice taste for our taste buds, and we enjoyed it all the way through.
We also had the Hummus Salad, also with hot bread. Yumm....
The Shirazi Salad was refreshing, with a slight hint of middle eastern spices, cumin maybe...
As we move on to the main course, the standard gets higher and higher. We had the Lamb Koobide Kebab, which was grilled marinated lamb, served with saffron rice. First, of all, the lamb was so tender, and well cooked, with all the right seasoning and flavour. The rice was fluffy, and fragrant.
We also had the Ghorme Sabzi Stew, chunks of lamb and chickpeas cooked in stew. It complimented the saffron rice.
For dessert, we had Baklava, a sweet pastry popular in Greece and the Middle East, consisting of
multiple layers of butter-soaked phyllo pastry, spices and chopped nuts, a drizzled with sugar syrup and flavored rose water. And to top that off, we were served with Iranian tea, in cute little cups.
Beautiful restaurant, attentive staff and fantastic food....to sum it up..a wonderful evening!!
