The Middle East Cafe is a spinoff from the Middle East Market next door. It has a good variety of Persian dishes, and an airy patio out back (next to their parking lot, entrance on 10th St.)
Inside:
The patio:
Complimentary Persian tea:
Menus:
Ash-e-Rehstah (bean, lentil and pasta soup)
Koobideh (beef and lamb kebab), with tahdig. The tahdig wasn’t as crispy as previous ones that I’ve had.
A good lunch, for around $15, not counting the takeout phylo pastries from next door.
