Farewell, sweet Kabobs...

My favorite place for Persian food is no more.
Hot Kabobs has closed its doors, not because of lack of interest, a drop in quality or money problems, but because the owner's other restaurant, Porta Via, is doing so well they can't keep up with both.  I have only had someone's left overs from Porta Via and I really have to say that I'd rather have the chicken Low Fat/Low Carb plate from Hot Kabobs any time.  Flat bread, feta and fresh cilantro...hearty stews bursting with surprises like sun-dried limes...that mysteriously addictive seasoning on the chicken...PERSIAN ICE CREAM!!!  Oh, the humanity! 
I am currently on the hunt for a new Persian restaurant to frequent, if you have any hot tips, please let me know!

  1. Lazizz off Nolensville Road was pretty good. I love their Kababs. You ever do anything with the "What The Pho" group off meetup.com? They are always trying different international places (which is how I found Lazizz).

  2. Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check out Lazizz AND the group. :)

  3. I've heard good things about Lazizz as well, but my Persian mama says the best in town is the House of Kabab over here on Thompson Lane (in a strip mall, of course, just east of Nolensville Pike)
