Shawarma Lunch at Behrouz Persian Cuisine

Whenever we do our grocery at Shopwise in Sucat and we still haven't had lunch yet, we normally eat at Behrouz. It's just across the grocery and located at Santana Grove where a lot of food establishments may be found. We prefer Behrouz because it's affordable, the service is quick and we like shawarma very much.

Arriving in Sucat at about 2 PM straight from Laguna, we parked our car at Shopwise and went to Behrouz for lunch before doing our grocery. Aside from a corner table where there were two ladies eating, we were the only clients there. A blast of cold air greeted us as we went in, compared to the afternoon heat we just came from. We took a booth and thought for a while on what to order (as if we are not decided yet on what to eat, ha ha ha).

My wife ordered shawarma rice (P150). It consisted of a plate of bastmati rice and a plate of beef, tomato, onion and cucumber. She ordered a slice of butter to mix with the rice (Starice?).

Since, the serving of rice was quite large, she decided to share it with our daughter and ordered an extra dish, a beef kebab (P80).

For me, I ordered two small shawarma (P50) rather than one big shawarma (P100) because it's seems to be more filling as I had in the past ordered a big shawarma. Both the bottles of chili and yogurt garlic sauce are on the table and it's up to you if you want to use it liberally or not at all.

What can I say? They are all winners. Except for some onion in the shawarma rice, all were devoured instantly. The beef kebab was tender and juicy but lacked presentation. Maybe some veggies would have added a little color to its plate. The shawarma was not properly wrapped, hence the filling kept falling on my plate or shirt, ha ha ha. That includes the juices, some of which were caught by the plastic bag where the shawarma was placed.

Maybe next time we will try other dishes, like ox tongue or brain. Or probably that humus or mutabal. Or one of those posted on their windows.
