I have been blessed to have great Farsi/Ajmi fare in Special Ostadi in Bur Dubai, Kateh in Kuwait City and Shabestan in Masqat and love the simplicity of the pulav. Bombay has its Britannia for Parsi fare, Jimmy Boy close by also matches its heritage credo with equal gusto.

Mommy Joon’s Kaboodeh, or commonly known as the Chello Kebob was near to the greatness of a Special Ostadi where the Ajam, was felt each morsel of pulav.
