I actually have a question about a Persian restaurant, Its my friends birthday in January and she really wants to go to a Persian restaurant, which is my fault in a way as I boasted a lot about the food and all, she wants to have the whole experience of a good Persian restaurant ( maybe some entertainment too) but not too expensive. I don't want mess it up as this is the first time for some of my friends that they are going to go to a Persian restaurant and I really want to give a good impression of us.

Oh, and it needs to be in Central London!

I know of a great Persian restaurant somewhere in Germany, if that counts. Among a bunch of other nice stuff, they serve the best ice cream I've ever eaten.

Just reading the thread and saw you wrote this. Are you talking about the saffron icecream, the one with frozen cream on top. It is sooo nice, had it for the first time at a wedding, it is way better than the icecream here!

Ohh I've had that ice cream before, I think I was allergic to it though, since I erm was sick everywhere...

Has anyone here ever had Faloodeh?

Ahh, poor u, you missed out! Faloodeh nice, I think that the best faloodeh is the one in Iran. I tried it at some of the restaurants but they never taste that nice. Do you guys add the lemon juice to it as well?

I had an arguement with some tamils once, as they said that faloodeh was actually some cake and jelly drink I proved them wrong!

I trust the fact that you're an agnostic leaning towards atheism doesn't have any relevance to this discussion.

Still am baby, that's why I don't support the mullahs

Iran may have been an islamic republic for 28 years (which by the way on the scale of history is nothing) but I sure as hell don't have to be open minded towards state censorship, repression, widespread human rights abuses, dictatorship, inflation, lack of women's rights, and general fundementalism.

Now you tell me, would an open minded person be fine with the above? If so they're living in an oxymoron

Personally, I'm gunning for the day that Iran becomes a free, secular democracy.

I cannot tell you how much your view seem to have originated from BBC and American based "Iranian" satellite channels.

All of the things you mention seem to have come out of "The stereotypical Western views of Iran" handbook!!!!

But like Petzneo said - lets not discuss politics here

My views are mine only and have not originated from anyone else. If you want to believe in conspiracies do that, just remember, it's always the Jews!!

Your views that my views are all some sort of lie could have come out of "Khomeini's guide to being a good fundementalist(!!!)"

And if you really don't believe the things I've mentioned above are true you've got to take a reality check, realise that thousands of your countrymen and women are being killed, then question whether you really care enough about Iran to join a soc about it. When you realise you don't, I'm sure the Hezbollahis have a soc some place around here

ooooooooooooooooh man i'm hurt - such an original comment your last line!

your bit about me not caring about my fellow countrymen?? how many years did YOU spend living in iran?

like i said im not gonna argue about politics here because i respect what petzneo said

Ok, guys calm down.....this society was set up to talk about Iran and commonly related Persian/Iranian stuff, not to agrue about the government and all that %%%%%%%%, you could agrue about this for so long and nothing will come out of it.
