If you have been following my blog for awhile now, you would know that I love Persian food. I don’t know why but kebab is definitely something I always crave for. So when we visited Avilon Zoo & since I parked near UP, we decided to drop by UP Technohub.

When we were asked which restaurant to try out, I immediately said, “Mister Kabab!” I’ve tried Mister Kabab but not at UP Technohub branch. Wow!!! The ambiance was just waaayyy better than their other branches! It was very clean and it looked very classy. The view was superb!

On the other hand, Mister Kabab’s West Avenue branch didn’t have aircon and you had to sit in an uncomfortable chair. Not only that, you couldn’t stay too long because there is usually line outside of people waiting to get in to be seated. So after eating, you really got to leave.

We ordered the ff.:

Shrimp & Mushroom (Php 95)

This was good! I always order their Chelo kabab. I’m glad that I was able to try the other dishes at Mister Kabab. This one was shrimps fried with mushrooms with some sauce, garnished with tomato and cucumber.

Beef Chelo Kabab (Php 135)

They really call this Special Chelo Kebab! This is tenderloin kebab and beef kebab. I’m not really fond of tenderloin so I requested if I can just have two beef kebabs. They gave it to me for the same price. So it is possible. They called it beef chelo kebab. Can I tell you that this is my favorite when coupled with rice and butter? Perfect!

Fresh Fruit Shake (Php 40)

You know before their fruit shakes were just priced at php25. But their cups were a bit small. I can say that they’ve improved! They now put their shakes in a bigger cup. The price got raised a little to Php40 but still affordable. 🙂 🙂

Rice (Php 25) & Butter (Php 10)

Rice with butter just puuurrfeecctt! We should do this at home too!

Shawarma in Plate (Php 85)

Shawarma is usually wrapped in bread but Mister Kabab offered this Shawarma in Plate. You’d see shawarma then the sidings (onions, tomatoes) put in a plate. So you can either just order a bread or rice to go with it. According to my friend, it was just okay. She preferred this dish to be crispy.

Bread (Php 15)

Keema (Php 60)

This is actually not our order but this is minced beef served with calamansi. I tried this and it was actually good too! My favorite though is still the beef kebab! 🙂

Hahaha! So I just finished writing this and to be honest, I just wanna drive and go to Mister Kabab and eat again! You can find the rest of the pictures from our lunch here.

I bet, if you’ve been reading my blog that you’ve already noticed I love Persian food. Just last week, I blogged about Arya Persian Restaurant. I’ve been craving a lot lately for comfort food. I guess this is because of the stress I’ve been feeling these days.

I love the way the restaurant was designed. It has its Indian, Persian, Arabian feel into it. I especially love the chandeliers on the ceiling. I can’t seem to take my eyes off it.

Here are what we ordered:

Chelo Beef Kebab Share (Php 405)

My ever-favorite Persian menu item. Hayyyyy Hossein’s saffron rice is just superb! I can just eat their rice without anything and I would still feel satisfied.

The Chelo Beef Kebab on the other hand is ground beef charboiled with Middle Eastern herbs & Persian Spices. I actually forgot about the garlic & chili sauce already as the ground beef was enough to make me satisfy my craving & hunger! Yummy!

This actually has a solo version which is priced at Php225. Can you keep a secret? I know it isn’t enough for me! hahahaha that was how hungry I was before we ordered food.

Chelo Saffron Chicken Kebab (Php 465)

For chicken lovers, this is Persian version of how chicken breasts should be cooked: marinated with Persian Saffron blend.

I would suggest you dip your chicken on the sauce on the plate so it won’t taste dry. It was good as well but nothing beats the chelo beef kebab! 😀

Fresh Mango Juice (Php 130)

I don’t feel any water was combined with this drink. I loved it! It was very fresh and sweet! 🙂

Tom Yam Goong Share (Php 173)

I wonder why I ordered a Thai dish when we were at a Persian Restaurant hahaha. So I don’t have anyone to blame but myself that I didn’t like this dish. One order of this has 4 pieces shrimp, 2 pieces tomato, 4 pieces of mushroom and lots of soup lolz! That was it! 😛

More pictures here.

It was a very expensive meal, indeed! I don’t feel the cheaper comment from the Shomal staff. They just changed the name. That was all.

This is still one of my comfort food, I just love the food!

I really hope that next time they really open a cheaper version. This is not a valid cheaper version as they claim. It’s as expensive as Hossein. See my post about it here.
