Questions about a Persian restaurant menu
Kabab or kebab?
Kabab is the Persian spelling. Pick one and use it everywhere on the menu.
What is tahdig?
The crisp, golden layer of rice from the bottom of the pot. This example sells it on its own, with stew to spoon over.
Should I offer a sharing platter?
It helps groups who don't know the dishes. They get a bit of everything without having to choose.
