Me, Gus, Arik and John decided to have a mini-reunion of sorts and have Persian food. The place is called Flame Restaurant in Westwood. If you’re not geographically familiar, it’s in the same vicinity as UCLA. Since we didn’t have a clue about the food, we had Arik order for us.
Some notes/observations:
1. Their flavor profiles are primarily sweet and sour.
2. I noticed that there was some similarity between Indian and Persian food. the bread type thing similar to Naan, the stews which one of them was similar to Dal.

Kahsk-E-Bademjan - Fried Eggplant mixed with whey flavored with sauteed garlic and mint.
Fesenjon - Fried walnut-pomegranate sauce mixed with boiled chicken.

The rice with the kabobs was amazing. I should have taken it home!
