As an Iranian who has tried a lot of Persian restaurants in North America, Iran, Dubai, Europe, and even in Malaysia...I must say my Filipino friends get the shorter end of the stick when it comes to Persian food in Manila. After taking some guest to Behrouz in Sukat which is apparently newly opened, I felt embaressed to see these people represent a garbage as a Persian cuisine. NOTHING, and I really mean NOTHING in that menu or restaurant reflected a trace of Persian authenticity. An unfriendly Iranian woman was seating at the cash register gazing at the patrons which repulsed me to go and even complain. The food was swimming in oil and butter. Koubideh kabob was falling apart with no taste...Just a horrible and poor experience. I can not recommend any Persian restaurants in Manila as I have not tried any other one. But I hope if Behrouz is the first experience for anybody it does not reflect the Persian food in General.

The orders will be taken by snob waiters who doesnt know anything about customer service. I think their bosses don't mind telling them about it's importance. One time I was in Metrowalk branch, and needed to use the ladies room, I waited for 20 minutes as one of the staff used the ladies cr to take a bath pa. What the heck! When our food was finally served (Beef Kobideh), the meat was dry unlike before it used to be tender. One more thing, I always notice the rice smelled of cockroach poop. Did any of you have the same experience? Madalas talaga amoy tae ng ipis yung basmati nila.

SERIOUSLY? We left the place and vowed never to return. However, the best kebab place we went so far is KAMAND KEBAB on Gastambide Street, Manila across University East entrance. excellent service, food and price..every time. you know exactly where your money went as well as the food. it's ALWAYS full of Persians so you know it's good food..they're doing it right.
