Hello my Doodies. It’s been a while since I’ve read a blog. Thanks a lot broken laptop (and because I’ve been busy). I’m on my desktop so all is well. I’ll definitely read the blog posts I’ve missed tomorrow night!
Yesterday a coworker had a birthday so we went out to lunch. Our wonderful BossMan paid for our meal … with his own credit card when we were through eating. I was very surprised. I never expect anyone to ever pay for me so it’s always a big shock to me when they do. We went to:
Kasra Persian Grill
9741 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77042
(713) 975-1810
www.kasrahouston.com
Taftoon Bread [served with herb plate of basil, mint, parsley, green onion, radish & feta cheese | Free
So freaking good. There were crunchy parts because it was thin, then there were fluffy parts. Gah, we literally had plates of that.
Hummus [ground chickpeas, sesame seed paste, garlic & lemon juice] | $4
Not sure if you can see it in the picture with the Taftoon Bread but this is by far the best hummus I’ve ever had. If you love hummus you have to go here and try it – take me with you. You won’t regret it. Especially when you eat it with that wonderful bread.
Shishleek Combo (C2) [one skewer with a combination of Beef Chenjeh and Chicken Barg served with grilled vegetables & Basmati white rice] | $10.99
I took a few forkfuls of that Basmati rice. I would of cleaned that all up but after all that bread I felt it would be carb overload. The beef (a little pink inside) was juicer than the chicken so I ate one of the chicken pieces and gave the rest away. As for the grilled vegetables, it came with two slices zucchinis, two slices slices onions, two slices tomatoes, and one slices bell pepper. The zucchinis and bell pepper were on point but the onions still felt raw to me. I didn’t even try the tomatoes because … ew.
Will I come back here? Heck yes I would. I already know what I’m going to order. Taftoon Bread (keep them coming), Hummus and Beef Chenjeh with a small side of Basmati white rice me. Thank you. Cannot wait to take Mum here.
*The prices indicated above is for the Lunch Menu.
We had a 7-hour workshop today and we didn’t finish everything so it continues to tomorrow. Bleugh! But I can’t complain much. We got free Pappasito’s for lunch AND one more day before the weekend! Dun Dun Dunnnnnnn … I’ve got plans to see the wonderful Apurva. Cannot wait!
The weekend is almost here y’all! Keep on truckin’!
