Tasty Persian Cuisine
05.20.15
It was a big win for Costa Mesa, when Darbari Persian Grill opened late last year in the former BC Broiler spot across from the Triangle on Newport Boulevard.
Now, with the help of its eager to please owner, Mehdi and gracious staff, Darbari is a go to lunch and dinner spot for fresh Mediterranean specialties such as falafel, hummus, dolmeh, borani and beef koobideh served with fluffy basmati rice and charbroiled tomatoes, chicken shish kabobs with tender boneless chicken skewered and charbroiled with onions and green peppers, and our favorite ghormeh sabzi with beef, parsley, cilantro, chives, kidney beans and dried lime.
Craving something light? We love the Darbari salad with romaine lettuce, spinach, walnuts, strawberries, and pomegranate sauce; and the chicken koobideh wrap makes the perfect lunch, with chicken, lettuce, tomato and choice of hummus or must o’kheyar.
You can also find great lunch specials online good through July 31, 2015, as well as a family style take out special for just $34.99 that includes two beef koobideh (four skewers) and two boneless chicken kabobs served with basmati saffron rice, charbroiled tomato and garden salad.
Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
1866 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa. 949.650.8080
