Husband-and-wife co-owners Behshid and Hamish Bahrami serve traditional Persian cuisine in this cozy South Grand establishment. It's elegant food: no pretensions, just pure flavors - and a great value as well. Whet your appetite with kashke-bademjune, a mash of eggplant, chickpeas and spices; or osh, a hearty lentil soup. But be sure to leave room for the wide selection of savory stews and grilled meats. Barreh polo, a tremendous shank of lamb, and fessenjoon, boneless chicken breast stewed in a pomegranate-and-walnut sauce, are standouts. Feeling adventurous? Try the tongue, tender slices of beef swimming in a sumptuous golden broth. You might never want a boring old hunk of sirloin again.
Cafe Natasha's Kabob International (3200 South Grand Boulevard; 314-771-3411) recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of its $10 all-you-can-eat hummus bar the only way it knew how: a falafel-e... More »
Visiting Cafe Natasha's Kabob International (3200 South Grand Boulevard; 314-771-3411) for my 100 Favorite Dishes, I learned that the restaurant now hosts an "unlimited hummus bar" from 4-7 p.m.... More »
Cafe Natasha's Kabob International was the first restaurant that I reviewed for the RFT (or any publication for that matter). That was five years ago next month. I had no idea what I was doing then --... More »
Suddenly, on my third visit to Café Natasha's Kabob International, I was nervous. First date nervous. Job interview nervous. I drained my water as soon as it was filled and hid my trembling hands under the table. See, I'd fallen in love with the... More »
The tar comes in a cute little cup about the size of a shot glass, with an itsy, delicate handle, and the cup sits upon an equally adorable saucer. It's as if you are playing house with your five-year-old sister. She has conned you into sitting... More »
Café Natasha's Kabob International isn't the sort of place you stop at if you're in a hurry, but as the old dictum goes, good things come to those who wait. The array of sumptuous stews and aromatically seasoned kebabs on the menu reveal a patience in the kitchen for preparing a complex mixture of spices and marinades that is delicate on the tongue, never overpowering. It speaks to the great strengths of a restaurant when even simple items such as saffron rice or a house salad with... More »
Why isn't Persian cuisine better known? It's elegant, sophisticated and delicious. All three attributes are on display at Café Natasha's Kabob International. Those with a taste for Middle-Eastern cuisine will find excellent falafel, hummus and baba gannoujh, but husband-and-wife owners Behshid and Hamish Bahrami will reward the adventurous spirit. From simple kashke-bademjune (like baba gannoujh, a dip made from eggplant, but richer and creamier) to hearty barreh polo (a lamb stew) to... More »
Unless you count manna -- which is sort of in short supply these days --falafel is possibly civilization's oldest food. The durability of the friendly Middle Eastern chickpea croquette is no accident; if there is a sensation more satisfying than biting into a hot, crispy ball of falafel, e-mail us. Meanwhile, we'll continue to scour the city searching for more falafel goodness. Our current fave is the Salad Delight Platter at Kabob International. The South Grand satellite of the Delmar...
