Lazeez @ Solaris Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

Having passed Lazeez several times, I had the perception that they mainly served pastries. Only discovered very recently that they serve extremely yummy Iranian lunch and dinner. 

Look out for this signage 

As I sat inside the restaurants, I could see that Lazeez was filled up with mainly regular customers, that seems totally familiar of what they are set to have for their lunch. 

Cosy & filled with regular customers 

Most customers, I saw ordered their packet rice which comes with chicken and a soft drink or ice lemon tea at only RM8. And I had that, during my 2nd visit here. It was rice cooked with extract of tomatoes, coupled with cuts of fresh tomatoes, and a 1/4 grilled chicken. Satisfying. 

Chicken & Rice Set. Price-RM8

I was a little drooling when I walked to their spread of food to make my choice.

Even the look of their rice was enough to make me happy. There are choices of broad bean and dill rice, lentil rice and raisins, plain rice and green bean rice.  

Yummy looking rice 

From the square cut of rice, it was really too much for one to finish. Its soft rice cooked with saffron and filled with some chicken shred.

I can't keep my eyes off what one customer was having. He was having this piece of big Lasagne which looked absolutely appetizing. The soft cheese on top seemed irresistible. A look at how the lasagne looked is in my picture below. 

Spread of yummy food

Nice yummy food

This was the chicken I had. It tasted a little like our Chinese style of "Choy Kiok", the sour & spicy vege. This tasted a little more mild, with slight sourness. Chicken was cooked long enough and meat was soft and tender.

The other dish I had was their Gheymeh, a yummy mixture of meat and eggplant with split peas cooked in tomato paste. Excuse my picture, as I only remembered to snap a picture, half way eating. @__@

We also had the yoghurt with cucumber to accompany my rice.

I tried one of the best tasting sauce at Lazeez. Its a concoction of tomatoes, chilli, lime or lemon, and I couldn't figure out the rest. Hehe... But the tanginess of this sauce makes me crave for more. 
However, during my 2nd visit, the taste differs, and it was much more spicy from the sauce I had during my 1st visit (as illustrated in picture below).

Overall, their food was really fresh. All are cook near to lunch time, and customers get to eat hot food. Yumms.

Shisha Lounge @ Solaris Mont Kiara

Having started its operation since 2009, Shisha Lounge has survived through its years of operation, when I see many F&B outlets has changed its operator, around the SOHO Solaris area.

I was somewhat convinced to come try food at Shisha Lounge last weekend, and was told that they served really good tasting Iranian food. In addition to this, they also served other varieties like Italian, Korean, Western like food.

I ought to say, this is one of the best food discovery, as I was almost in heaven, when I savor this one of the best tasting food I've ever tried. Hey, where have I been?

We started with the Gheymeh and Eggplant stew. Gheymeh is a Persian stew and in this option that we ordered, consist of eggplant and split peas. I love the thickness of this stew, that just goes so well with our rice. Eggplant is loved by Iranians and known as "the potato of Iran"..

As part of side order to accompany our rice, we also ordered the yoghurt, that comes with small cuts of cucumbers, and dashes of mint. 

Yoghurt. Price-RM6

Yummeh Saffron rice..

The one photo I did not took was the saffron rice.  This was one of the best tasting rice ever. As I tried to find out a little more, I understand that Iranians has 3 methods of cooking rice. In this particular saffron rice that I tried, its parboiled rice, called 'chelo' where rice is first soaked in salted water before boiling. It is then drained and returned to the pot to be steamed. This method results in an exceptionally fluffy rice with the rice grains separated and non sticky. A big plate enough to be shared by 2 only costed us RM5. Way too reasonable. It also came with some butter for us to mix with the rice, resulting me to have continuous thought about this rice, even days after this meal I had. Oh dear! This is like I've fallen in love... with rice... *__*

A point to note, we ordered the Kebab, and the wait for a little long.. I think slightly around 20.. but but, it was definitely worth the wait, as the meat  has to be slowly barbecued, upon order.

We had the Barg Kebab which means Fillet Kebab, which is a Persian styled barbecued lamb, chicken or beef.  We ordered the beef, whereby its cut to stripes and marinated in onion and mix herbs. It was so flavorful, and with it being barbecued, the taste was even more enhanced, and the meat was so tender. A little sourish flavor that came with squeeze of lime onto the beef, alleviate the taste a little more.

Being a chicken lover, we also ordered the Chicken Kebab. I'm not exaggerating if I say that this is one of the best tasting chicken that I ever tasted. Its insanely good! Again so flavorful, and the marination must have worked so well, as I totally can taste full flavor on every part of the meat.

Chicken Kebab on bone. Price-RM35

Shisha Lounge also offer performance daily, starting from 11pm.. and was told it ends around 3am. To all the late night crowd, this would be the right place to go.. And reservation is necessary for Fri-Sun, as there are huge crowd during these days.

I can't wait to be back, again for the same food, and to try other varieties, and would definitely love to see the performance.
