Move over Mr. Kabab. Grilled Tomato is here.

(Pansin ko puro pagkain ang bina-blog ko lately ah..)

I remember Gabby telling us that a classmate of hers from ISCAHM was opening a little persian restaurant in the Tomas Morato area. We chanced upon it yesterday; it was a few steps from the corner of T. Morato and Scout De Guia. The food is really good. The menu is divided into six: favorites, starch, short order, gyros, sidings and drinks. (They don't have dessert, but they said that they're still working on the menu.) It's flavorful but not overpowering, which made me thoroughly enjoy every spoonful, forkful and handful.

Their prices are so reasonable. Each meal (rice with viand) ranges from Php55 to Php90. (Cheaper than Mr. Kabab.) And the servings are hefty! If you add a small amount, you can even opt to have all the rice you can eat. They add Php20 for drinks if you're getting a meal. They serve the usual: sodas, yogurt shakes, beer (sanmig and coors) and ice milk tea (my favorite so far).

The restaurant is divided into smoking and non-smoking areas. Because it's also located just a bit off T. Morato, it's quieter, which I like.

Iced Milk Tea in a very tall glass (Php55)

Our appetizer, pita bread (you can order as many pieces as you like; they charge Php15 per piece) served with curry dip (Php25). Curry dip is okay with me, but if you're looking for something substantial, then you might not enjoy it.

Keema with Rice. (Daming rice!) Yummy. (Php90 with drink)


Chicken Tikka
(Php55, for two pcs it's Php90) One piece is enough, but I was soo hungry, I ordered two.

I had the beef kebab before (Php90 for two servings) and it's much better than the special chelo at Mr. Kabab. I look forward to trying their gyros next time.
