Khalala Dinner Part IV : December 12th 2004
@
Pomegranate

Once a teeny karaoke bar, this eatery now boasts white walls decorated with red and black tapestries and a calligraphic verse by Rumi (co-owners Danielle Schrage and Alireza Fakhrashrafi will translate it, if asked). A traditional soup of long-cooked greens, beans, noodles, chickpeas and garlic ($3.50) comes drizzled with goat milk yogurt and sweet caramelized onions. Fresh mint and parsley sprigs accompany a dish of black kalamata olives, walnut halves, trad yeasted flatbread and salty feta cheese rolled in black nigella seeds ($4.95). Two daily specials round out the carte�s seven mains ($8.50�$14.95). Basmati rice with almonds, pistachios, tasty filaments of Seville orange zest, tangy barberries and carrots escorts braised lamb chunks�drab until dipped in minted yogurt alongside. Overcooked skinless chicken breast (dry, not tough) pairs with a balanced pur�e of walnuts, pomegranate syrup and intriguing spices. Minted yogurt appears again, with saffron-tinted basmati and a salad of onion, cucumber and tomato. Homemade Iranian sweets include baklava; fried dough soaked in honey, rosewater and saffron syrup; and lovely shortbread cookies (orange- cardamom, lavender, lemon-anise, cinnamon-almond). Also available: local beers and a few modest wines (Omar Khayyam would approve)�Pelee Island sauvignon blanc, a verdicchio, a Chilean cab ($5.95 by the glass). Wines may be sipped from an ordinary wine glass or (better) a traditional Iranian hand-thrown ceramic cup. Closed Monday.

Address: 420 College St., 416-921-7557.

7:30 PM

I figured it'd be nice to get a nice meal after Tiesto, and it's a downtown location for a change.

kool Penny,

Dood!

Sunday is my weekly day of fasting... Otherwise that would be sweet.

Have fun.


Posted by Espresso on Dec-06-2004 22:39:

Beh, why don't you move the date to a weekday so more people can attend,

i know most people will be at work any chosen day, but looks like weekday would be better (just a thought though)...

i hope seeing Tiesto is not a prerequisite for this

we gotta make LKD come and get hime drunk


Posted by Nabs on Dec-06-2004 22:48:

Count me in, sounds like fun. Persian food never disappoints.
Oh and what is the closest intersection on college for this place??
