Parsian International Market and Grill - CLOSED



It's also a grocery store, with lots of really interesting produce.



Sour grapes!  I asked a guy what you do with them, and he said
he adds a few to stews for a sour taste.  He said they're only in season right now, so he buys a lot and freezes them.

Quinces!  I don't know what you use them for.

They make this bread right here.

Pleasant seating area with lots of natural light.  There's also an outside patio but it was too hot today.

Walnut stew (fesenjoon).  Note the RICE CRUST!

Saffron pistachio ice cream sandwich.  I want another one right now.
You can also get the ice cream in pints.

Notes: 

• The atmosphere is very pleasant, friendly, and comfortable.
• Well-aerated and bright, with lots of natural light.
• Lunchtime is busy here, but not crazy.
• The portions are huge!  Our dishes could be shared between 2 or maybe even 3 people.
• Everything is perfectly seasoned -- I (Miko) wouldn't have added salt or pepper to anything.  The meat is tender and juicy.  The beef reminds me a little of breakfast sausage in texture.  It's all delicious!
