For foodies, nothing beats the feeling of discovering new restos that makes you rave about the food in between bites and leaves you wanting for more. That was what my friend Tracy and I experienced when we dined at Persia Grill.
Owned by Pinoy Big Brother ex-housemate Kian Kazemi, this branch is located at Building A of Megastrip Megamall. Upon passing by the mall, the big advertisement never fails to capture my attention as a Persian food lover myself. And since my friend share the same passion, that afternoon, we forgo the original plan of dining at an Italian Restaurant and have a gastronomical experience at Persia Grill instead.
Since it's our first time, we decided to try their Kabab Meal first. I ordered for their Chelo Kebab Kobideh and Chelo Morg Combination which is a stick of charbroiled beef kebab (kobideh) and a stick of charbroiled chicken breast fillet served with fresh grilled tomato, Persian eggplant-yogurt dip, and long-grained steamed rice with butter, while Tracy let the chicken passed and settled for the two stick chelo kebab.
The Chelo Kebab Kobideh is seasoned to perfection. It is tender and juicy, bursting with flavor every time you bite on it. Same goes for the Chelo Morg which is soft, tender, and very tasty. The eggplant-yogurt dip complements the entire meal but it was really their garlic sauce and hot sauce which stands out for it’s garlicky-creaminess was simply to die for. My friend and I were literally raving about the goodness of the meal, while eating.

Each meal we had is 199php only. Aside from the other Persian dishes that they offer, it is good to know that they also have their own set of Budget Meal they called (BM) Business Meal which ranges from 120php (one piece beef or chicken kebab) up to 160php (one-stick lamb kebab).
The ambiance is cozy, the place is clean, relaxing music is constantly playing, everything is perfect. But the thing is, although their food servers are courteous, they lack professionalism in a sense that they tend to hover around the counter area for some chit chats while on their sleepers instead of checking on their customers if they need something. Also, chewing gums while taking customer's orders is a big no no especially on a resto like that.
