PERSIA HOUSE OF KABOB – Middle Eastern
Persian mainstay on East Fletcher Avenue near USF in Tampa, serving the area for over 20 years since its days as Morae's Cafe. Charcoal-grilled kebabs rule the menu — jujeh chicken, kubideh beef, lamb, and fish — over saffron rice with barberries and herbs, joined by ghormeh sabzi stew, gyro sandwiches, and falafel. Persian murals, Middle Eastern music, and an adjoining market of imported spices, pitas, and feta complete the trip. Portions run generous at fair prices. It suits USF students, Persian expats, and kebab loyalists who taste the charcoal.
