text: Four of us had a wonderful evening at Habibs It was our first visit The restaurant is lovely and prices are reasonable for this quality of restaurant table linens a good wine list appropriate stemware for quality wines etc This is not a jeans and tshirt place Understand that this is ethnic dining at its best and the proprietor will be personally involved in your experience He will visit your table often He explains menu items and preparations in detail so do not be afraid to asknnOthers have complimented the oven bread that comes out first with a little bowl of shirazi marinated chopped cucumbertomato and onion but the eggplant appetizer borani was truly outstanding My husband who is more familiar with Persian cuisine selected a wellknown dish after his eggplant the chelo kabab koobideh ground beef filet char broiled tomato and rice plate and he was very pleased Yogurt on the side completed the flavors of the dish We asked Mr Habib to describe the special meals he offers in addition to the shish kabob plates These Persian specialties are not pictured on the menu supplement but be sure to ask about them if you are interested in a dining adventure The chicken with bayberry pilaf was especially good I was happy with my chicken in pomegranate and walnut sauce a dark savory stew which is served over pilaf One of our party was unhappy with her choice and Mr Habib quickly and graciously replaced it He wanted us to be satisfied We truly felt like a guest in his home We kept a little tummy space for dessert to end a perfect meal sharing an order of baklava and a flan which the waiter torched tableside to caramelize the sugar crustnWe will be back
