Baran

My daughter loves Persian food. So do I. Artist Mona Kasra and her husband David Meheranian introduced it to me. One of my daughters best friends introduced it to her. We hadn't had Persian food for a while so we went Baran Restaurant, 1916 Westwood Blvd. LA CA 90025, 310-475-4500 for lunch. I got a stew dish, Ghormeh Sabzi, which I love and she and my son got a chicken dish. The Ghormeh came with Barbary, a rice with little red tart raisins. It was fantastic. It's the kind of food that you can just keep on eating past your usual threshold. The Ghormah Sabzi is made of kidney beans, herbs, and chinks of beef. The food was delicious and I was full for the rest of the day.
