Date # 41: Mr. Kabab

  I have a love affair with Persian food. I think it’s one of the most comforting cuisines ever. Be it Beryani, Keema, Kebab, Shawarma, Lassi, Ox Brains, or the occasional curries, I’m totally up for it.

  The restaurant we will talk about today, Mr. Kabab, is usually the crowd favorite when it comes to Persian food. They offer various ‘halal’ dishes, so the restaurant is good for our Muslim brothers and sisters.

  Mr. Kabab’s Special Chelo Kabab (P120.00) is enough to fully satisfy me when I’m hungry.

However, the two chelo kebabs aren’t very flavorful in themselves, (unlike in Shomal) which is why you have to use a lot of garlic sauce and hot sauce to add flavor. I also found that the garlicky taste of the sauce in Mr. Kabab is a bit toned down as compared to other establishments like The Kebab Factory or Perspolis (review to come).

   The slab of butter really complements the taste of the garlic sauce, so if you have any qualms about the butter, I don’t believe that this dish will really do it for you.

  This is Mr. Kabab’s version of Sizzling Keema with Eggplant (P105). Keema traditionally means minced meat with spices. 

  The serving is generous as well, given the price. Douglas commented that it was a bit bland, and the taste depended too much on the gravy.We think Ababu’s version totally knocks this one out.

  I had my own order of Keema with Eggplant (P65). It didn’t have the rice or the gravy. It was a bit bland, so I didn’t finish it.

The Verdict: It’s not hard to see why people flock to Mr. Kabab because they offer meals that are big on value. In terms of taste, however, it’s not the biggest contender out there.
