The
Atmosphere:
Softly lit rooms have you relaxed, but anticipating the
meal. The decor includes Persian artifacts, calligraphy
prints and detailed 16th to 19th century European maps and
depictions of the region. With such a backdrop, dinner at
Lala Rokh quickly becomes a culinary and cultural adventure.
The Food:
Don't be intimidated by the daunting menu; the staff is
ready to help. Main dishes are mixed and matched with
piquant sides and relishes, creating marvelous and
interesting combinations. The food is inventive, as shown by
the anbeh, a mango-tamarind chutney that makes a fascinating
tart-as-cranberries foil for the joojeh ba ustukhan, which
for laymen is a kebab of Cornish game hen in onion-lemon
marinade. Finish with the achingly sweet baklava, bite-sized
baklavettes or the stuffed dates in walnut paste.
