"The understated strip mall location and simple interior of Restaurant Persia on St. Jacques in NDG belies some formidable culinary delights within (not to mention the owners’ caring approach). Homemade specials rotate throughout the week, with the halal kebabs served daily. Be sure to try the moist kobideh (minced lamb) kebab or the barg (cubed lamb) option, both served with fluffy saffron rice. Fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks are featured as a special, too, served with herbed rice laden with dill and fava beans: When winter really hits, this will warm you from the inside out." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
