Banu
777 Queen st west

So this was a first for me.  My friend Dan, I have mentioned him before, is an avid restaurant goer and he suggested we go to this place on queen street.  I was game, why not?  It was Iranian? Sure I am willing to give it a shot.

This is a cute little restaurant and I got to say that I was more than a little nervous to go to this place.  It wasn't this place itself, but it was food that was just out of my comfort zone.  Would I like it? Would I make a fool of myself? The country bumkin coming to the surface. I could just smile saying it was good and hope Dan wouldn't notice.  Dan assured me I would be fine, and I took faith in that.

The food was actually really good.  It is served with a lot of yogurts and side dipping things, but I really liked it.

Wine was really good.

I had lamb chops for a main course and they were really good!

I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to try a different countries food, to start here, you won't be disappointed.  Its not so different that you will not know what you are eating, but you can say you have tried a different countries cuisine.

Desert was just a beautiful piece of chocolate that they have made special for this place.  Very cool.  Oh yea, it was great chocolate too.
