As much as we love burgers and pizza (and we do) we know that a good diet is rounded out. Even when dining out.
For that reason, and for the simple fact we had yet to eat at Sabzy, Sally and I jumped into a tasty lunch recently.
As I mentioned, we’ve been there before, but for coffee and tea. Not for a meal.
Sabzy is a Persian-themed restaurant on Whyte Avenue. It’s also a hookah joint and that patio will be smokin’ soon.
Their menu is fresh, healthy items with middle eastern flair.
And, you’re going to want to have coffee since they do a fine job with that sweet elixir.
Sally went for the grilled chicken sandwich, which comes with corn chips. Actually, a couple of their dishes come with the crispy chips.
With the house hummus and bell peppers the sandwich is a great option to having another burger in another casual dining place.
(I see that Flavours is going to re-open as the Pour House and I fear the same old.)
I chose the Kabob Platter, which gave me one chicken kabob and one beef and lamb. I opted to pay the extra $2 and have saffron rice. That was right move. The rice was totally moist and great and was as good or better than the kabobs.
Oh, and saffron is a spice you’ll see a lot of in Sabzy.
The kabobs didn’t come stuck on a stick. Which could be good or bad, depending on how much you like eating things off sticks.
The meat was cooked really well, and it was spiced to make me want more, more, more.
We finished with americanos and super-sweet desserts. I mean the squares were sweet as in delicious but also really sweet in flavour.
They’re also vegan-friendly if you like that kind of thing, Gregg Beever.
Sabzy gets 8.73 Saffrons out of 10. Check them out.
