    Kabob Bazaar is one of my regular stops in Clarendon, and they also have one in Bethesda. I usually order the jujeh (chicken) kabobs or the kubideh (ground beef) kabobs and upgrade to the rice dish with the carrots. Order the kabobs with rice, not bread because the bread comes with the meal anyway. The bread basket contains house-made flat bread, herbs to roll into it, and yogurt sauce to put the rolled bread in. They also have good vegetarian sides. It is a shame that Kabob Bazaar’s menu is not easier to navigate on their website.

    Today, The Capitol Deal has $25 certificate for $12.50, and you can buy up to 4 of them. They also have a deal on Chef Tony’s–a 3-course dinner for $40; I was impressed when I dined at Chef Tony’s (upon Lisa Shapiro‘s recommendation).

    St. Patrick’s Day, the anniversary of the unification of Italy, and the Iranian New Year, Nowruz, all fall within a span of a few days this month. I’m neither Irish, Italian, nor Iranian, but I don’t mind donning a “Feed me! I’m hungry” t-shirt if necessary.

    Readers probably already have favorite Irish pubs and Italian joints. If you have never tried Persian food and want to join in on the festivities, I recommend sampling Iranian food at Kabob Bazaar’s “New Year’s All Day Buffet” in Clarendon. The buffet is open from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Sunday, March 20 and will run you $16.95. The restaurant will also host a New Year’s lunch buffet on Monday, March 21 from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm for just $13.95.

    Kabob Bazaar

    Today Capitol Dish has $10 for a $20 certificate to the Bethesda or Arlington locations of Kabob Bazaar, which is my favorite Persian restaurant in the area.

    I’m not a fan of KB’s swordfish, but love all the poultry and meat kabobs.  The Tuesday lunch special of lamb shank with fava beans and green rice is awesome and they have other great lunch specials as well (although the certificate is for dinner).

    They do a good job with the rice and also have great vegetarian sides such as eggplant dishes, rice dishes, and pickled garlic (yum). Plus, your table gets a basket or flat bread and herbs, so that you can roll the bread upwith herbs and dip into the mint yogurt sauce.
