walls trimmed ia deep plum
and raspberry tones.

A long serving bar fronted
with stools and backed by a
bunker-style window into the
restaurant’s kitchen. In the
northwest corner, a small
dance floor, complete with
miniature stage, lighting and
a micror bal!

A Middle Eastern show
lounge with tom-tom drums
centre-stage.

The dining room itself is a
combination of open tables
and window-side booths.

On the menu: an impres-
sive range of dishes designed
to tickle the fancy of
Persepolisians B.C. and A.D.

How about Chormeh
Sabzi, Baghala Pole, Zereshk
Polo, Kabob Kobideh,
Sultani, Shiraz Pigeon and
Chicken Kabob in the entree
division ($11 to $16)? Asheh
Reshteh, Kash-e- -Bademjam,
Mast Miusir and Torshi in the
appetizers section ($3 to $5)?

Not exacdly ho:uschold
names in old North
Vancouver.

But, hey, this is nut old
North Vancouver any more.

And while Persepolis caters
to the North Shore’s bur-
gconing Iranian population,
it has much to offer the
area’s established culture.

The food served is very
good:

.... Asampled Lamb Shish

Kabob, for example, featured
a half dozen mannated lamb
chops charbroiled and served
on a plate with rich white saf-
fron rice and a side of sauteed
mushrooms, leeks and yellow
bell peppers.

Add a dish of f Persian
yogurt spiked with garlic and
_ aside of Persian flat bread.
Squeeze fresh lime over the
chops and dig in.

Prawns of Abadan were
served with a delicious,
slightly bitter tamarind chut-
ney, the recipe for which
originates in southern Tran.

The opening, Mirza
Ghasemi was a thick paste of
eggplant, tomatoes and garlic
suffused with delicious
smokey grill flavors. Slather it
‘on some delicate Persian flat
bread.

Finish your meal off with
a Persian ice cream.

It’s not Baskin-Robbins,
nor should it be. A vanilla
base, but add in pistachic
nuts and the gentle floral fla-
vors of rosewater and you get
the idea.

Not your typical North
Shore restaurant experience,
for sure, but Persepolis offers
an authentic slice of Persian
dining that is well worth
savoring.
