THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Sina Restaurant-Kabob House Restaurant Review:


Sina's menu may seem familiar to Persian food fans, but perhaps that's inevitable. By all means consider the tah dig as an appetizer; not only is the plate of crusty rice topped with two different stews good in its own right, but it serves as an elegant introduction to the exotic flavors of the main menu. Quail marinated in olive oil and saffron seems less typical, but it's no less appealing. Fessenjan, chicken bathed in a sauce of pomegranate and walnuts is another don't-miss opportunity; tart and sweet all at once, it's a revelation. Eggplant with beef shank, yellow peas and tomato sauce also stirs both the imagination and the palate---a sensation that's highlighted by the weekend belly bouncing display. Lamb shank served with rice flecked with dill and other bits of green is more subtle than both the dancing and most of the menu, but it's worth ordering regardless. And for dessert, it's obligatory to order the frozen noodles scented with rose water and lime and crunchy with ice. If saffron ice cream is available, you're obliged to order that, too; it's an exercise in intensity not soon forgotten.
