Behrouz Chelo Kabab Kobideh - The Best in the Metro (so far!)

I can't review Behrouz in its entirety because the past 5 odd years or so that the hubby and I have been to this restaurant, we only order one dish, the Chelo Kabab Kobideh and have never ordered any other.

The Kobideh is made of ground Beef skewered into flat metal strips and grilled to toasty goodness. The dish is served with two small grilled tomatoes and a big serving of basmati rice with butter. The rice is heaped over the two strips of ground beef in a big plate or a bandehado in Tagalog. We ordered one for each of us, ate in silence, grunting only in agreement, the only words being exchanged were "the best", "sarap talaga" and "old reliable".

The Kobideh is never complete without dipping it and the tomatoes in Behrouz's garlic and chili sauce. Each spoonful is always packed with rice, beef and tomato. The charred beef, the juicy tomato and the yummy yummy rice is heavenly. (I stay away from rice on most days but a Behrouz trip is never complete without Basmati)

We used to frequent the Behrouz in Libis which closed down for unknown reasons. We then moved to Behrouz in Wilson, Greenhills and used to eat Kobidehs there if our MBA classes were at DLS Greenhills (during those times it was either Behrouz or Hot Rocks). Imagine how happy we were when Behrouz Metrowalk opened and it has become our old reliable since then.

We've gone through 3 menu changes and price increases but the Kobideh is comfort food for me and the hubby. The charred beef with its toasted edges, the juicy grilled tomatoes and scooping the loose, long grained and fragrant basmati rice is an experience we seek every now and then. You've got your beef, your veggies and your carbs, it's a complete meal in itself. The total bill cost us Php 620 with drinks. Pretty pricy considering that other Persian restaurants offer less. But in our experience, the more popular chains of Persian restaurants sacrifice quality for price and use ordinary rice instead of Basmati. You really can't beat the combo Behrouz has.

Hopefully, the next time we go to Behrouz, we'll get to try some other items in their menu. But as of now, take our word for it, their Kobideh is a classic!
