Parsian Market

[Update - Closed as of 2011]

This was one fun summer for me - trying all these places with Bert. This is Parsian Market which we love. We'd been here before in the past (see my original post here). This time we brought TC. If you haven't eaten here before, do it now! Parsian Market is on Convoy and it's a former McD's (you can tell by the shape of the restaurant). The shot below was taken while sitting at their outside patio facing Convoy. Bert got the Chicken Wrap. His gripe was that the lavash was kind of crumbly so when he took bites out of it, it would crack and the filling would spill out...If it wasn't so crumbly, he would have enjoyed it more. It seemed eating a salad wrap...It was chock full of vegetables (which is a good thing).
TC and I shared a combo - this was the beef Kebabs with rice and a chargrilled tomato. They put a wrapped pat of butter on the rice, which was already melted when we got it. That basmati rice is so good, but there's so much! They should have put two pats of butter!!!! The combo was also served with a small side salad of Persian cucumbers with lettuce and tomato.
I know I've eaten this before but I love it so much that I can't help but order it again! I never order chicken whenever I go out to eat...The beef kebabs had so much flavor. TC and I had a lot of fun wrapping bits of the lavash over small pieces of the kebab mixed with rice!!! Next time we go here (and there will definitely be a next time), I'll try something different like the walnut/vegetable stew or something. That sounded intriguing to me. Oh, all right! Who the fk am I kidding? I'm going to order the beef kebab combo!!!

Hey CC - Did you know that in between being a Mickey D's and Parsian, this was the original location of Golden City?
