House of Kabob Description:
House of Kabob is a quick and casual spot to find good Persian food. This location in Irvine is quite quaint, with its marble tabletops, dark wood chairs and Provençal art and tablecloths. The traditional Persian food includes starters such as yogurt with cucumber (mast-o-khiar), fried eggplant with mint and fried onions (kashk-e-bademjan) and panir sabzi (a palate-opening plate of fresh herbs, walnuts and feta cheese). Next, order the signature fluffy white Persian-style rice with generous kebabs of juicy boneless chicken, ground beef and tender steak marinated for hours in lemon juice and golden saffron. Some come for the slow-cooked stews like ghormeh sabzi (veal shank cooked with herbs), fesenjoon (hearty crushed walnuts and pomegranate concentrate) and geimeh bademjan (eggplant and tomatoes with yellow peas and beef chunks). Finish off your meal with a warm cup of cardamom-scented Persian tea (chai) and a rose water-soaked treat like faloodeh or zoolbia.
