Behrouz - Persian Cuisine

As the years go by, I did notice that my palette has grown, and learned that I have a distinct taste bud.  Many of the foods I eat is not everyone's cup of tea.  But I'm not here today to discuss my whole love for food but to share with you my thoughts on a place that is called Behrouz Persian Cuisine.

To give you a brief background, my cousin who was always in Metrowalk introduced this restaurant to me a couple of years back.  One time she brought me there and the rest was history, I would always have cravings and at times, i'd just go to merely get me some takeouts.

So last night, me and my friends went to our usual #TropangKape night at Starbucks where we chilled for a couple of hours and just talk.  We were quite hungry after chilling, so we ended up going to Behrouz at Metrowalk.  

Looking at the design of the place, it seemed like a casual dining place, me and my friends would always dine here after a good drinking session of just cravings for Persian Cuisine.  The place may not look like it's going to show great food but it does.  Anyways, I always order the usual Shawarma Plate (price: 150) and Ox brain (price:80) and some soda.

Okay, so the Shawarma plate would come with the seasoned beef and either cucumbers or onions then tomatoes.  The seasoning of the beef is just right not too pungent and just right for me, not too salty not sweet.  For the price, I would say, it's a good run for my money.  The Basmathi Rice (Long Grain rice) which is back in the days I did ask one of the waitreess' and she told me it's like 200 pesos per kilo (whoah, expensive).

.


The Ox brain, in this restaurant, I assumed that they steam/fry the brain so it's served a little soft and bit crunchy.  The taste of this dish is like the yolk of the egg or for Pinoy's its like the yolk of a balut.  I know, it's weird but it has that creamy yummy taste.  Mind you I know for one that its packed with cholesterol, so yeah I don't do it all that time but for the past 2 weeks I have been here 2 times already. (It's so good, I can't help it).

To top it all off, I love their Yogurt Garlic Sauce, compared to the other Persian Cuisine places that I go to, I would say it would rank 2nd for the taste (#1 would be the Hassan's Yogurt Garlic Sauce).  Their sauce is creamy, garlicky but not so much and a little tangy. The hot sauce is really spicy, it's made from pureed chilis I would say.

They also serve the Kebabs and Kobideh's and they are great too.  I once tried their Hummus and matched with the garlic sauce it's great too.  The Yogurt drink their is perfect as well but little more tangy (I like the Yogurt drink of Hassan better though).

I am now salivating thinking about it again, but my over all verdict for this restaurant for the food itself would be a 4 out of 5 stars.

My only complaint would be the place, they should improve it, mind you the customers going there are not just regular people, you would see celebrities going there too. Secondly, the staff, they always look like their super tired and while they try to be super accommodating, they would look snobbish most of the time.

I hope you guys did enjoy my review on Behrouz. Do let me know what things you'd like me to review soon.  Thanks!
