Nowruz Dinner @ the Gorji's...


Salaam,
Another evening of fine dining...our third in three consecutive days of eating out and smokeless kitchen...
This time we're so cordially invited to experience an Nowruz evening with the Gorji family, so kindlly extended by one of their daughters and our staff members. It is still the tenth day of the New Year and Iranian are still very much in the festive mood.
Not only we were pampered with assortment of sumptuous home-cooked traditional Persian cuisines, the host, the hostess and their family were also kind enough to take us around their modest home to admire the artistic and beautiful paintings...all done by the extremely talented family members, from the grandfather to the grand-daughter/son.
An unforgetable evening of great and fine dining experience and distinctive Iranian hospitality indeed. Kheyli mamnoon, kheyli motashakkeram Aghaye va Khanoome Gorji...Az didane shoma khosh vaghtam...Shoma kheyli mehraban hastid...
Nowruz Mobarak...Sad sal be' een sa^l-ha...!!
Wassalam.
