An Alborz Lunch

It’s like we went grocery shopping. The big bag of leftovers from our lunch was more than usual. We generally go to Alborz Restaurant during the week about every six weeks or so. But since they were predicting severe thunderstorms yesterday evening, we decided to go out for lunch instead of our traditional Sunday dinner. We really like Moby Dick for Persian food, but just for take out because they don’t serve wine. And Yekta is nice but a bit far away in Rockville. Alborz is in Vienna so it was a nice afternoon drive. My husband usually gets kabob, but for whatever reason he ended up with a sandwich rather than the platter with rice. Maybe it’s because I ordered the chicken sandwich and the waiter thought he meant the same - we had never had this waiter before, but he was really nice. We didn’t know we got the wrong order until we came home because we asked for the entrees “to go” and hadn’t seen them. We had also ordered four appetizers and knew we would be full. We end up taking a bite or two of the entree and wrap it to take home anyway. So we just munched on salad, eggplant, yogurt, and a chicken/potato salad with bread and tea. We added a few dessert pieces and had plenty of food for two more meals. I’m not sure my husband is looking forward to the same dinner tonight since he didn’t get what he really wanted. It’s all about the rice and we didn’t get any this time around.
