"The superbly seared kebabs grilled at this Persian grocery store in Longwood aren’t just easy on wallets and purse strings, they’re a sight for hungry eyes. Beef koubideh and chicken kebabs are perpetual faves, especially when served with Samin Nosrat-worthy saffron-scented rice. Ask for barberries, grilled peppers and lavash for proper Persian stylings. Leftover shreds of lavash beg to be dunked in the shallot-yogurt dip." - Faiyaz Kara
