I enjoyed Alborz very much. The cuisine was very traditional to my understanding of Persian food from my ex-wife who was Iranian. My lovely girlfriend and I enjoyed a few appetizers before dinner like the Dolme-ye Barg-e Mo which are stuffed grape leaves which where very tender and delicious.

We also had kashk-o-badenjoon an eggplant spread with dried yogurt which was very good. The bread wasn't quite what I expected it seemed to be more of the Afghanistan type with the sesame seeds but was delicious as well. For entries we had Khoresht-e Ghormeh_Sabzi (Stewed greens with beef and kidney beans) I think it was missing on the dried lime a bit but it was still good.

We also had a Kabab with lamb which was served with a wonderful lima bean and dill rice. And for dessert my favorite part of the Persian meal not to be missed we had the Persian Ice-Cream which was the best I had ever had. The ice-cream has saffron, pistachios or walnuts, and rose water. We also had the Rice Pudding (Shollehzard) which again was the best I have ever had. It was delicious with cardamom and cinnamon and a wonderful creamy texture. I sure wish they had the Fouluda (sp?) another wonderful dessert like granita with lots of lemon rosewater and rice noodles.

I would recommend Alborz and give them a thumbs up for the best maybe the only Persian cuisine in Austin. I am glad to find a place in Austin where I can enjoy the wonderful cuisine from Iran. My only regret was that unlike traditional Persian dining everyone sits on large pillows, take off their shoes, and relax while dining.

Alborz gets an A+, Friday, 19 October 2007 Written by Guest Qaulity of Decor Quality of Food Qaulity of Waitstaff Perceived Value Cleanliness The food was as good as or better than my ex's Persian Grandmother's cooking. I highly recommend Alborz to anyone who wants to try something new or for anyone looking for a good home cooked traditional Persian meal.
