“ Came here pretty late at night around 1:30AM after a day of studying and hitting up a couple bars along Tomas Morato. Surprisingly, there were 3 other medium/large parties in the restaurant as well, keeping the ambiance pretty lively. The restaurant is very clean and bright. They give each table its own pitcher of water and some of the garlic white sauce and hot sauce these types of restaurants are known for. Food came out super fast!! We waited probably less than 10 minutes. Our entire party of 6 got the beef chelo with basmati rice and grilled tomatoes. Loved how fresh the tomatoes they used were. The texture contrast with the grilled end and the fresh part was great. It definitely came with a lot more rice than you'd see from places like Mister Kebab so for those on low-carb diets, be warned! The beef came cooked well and seasoned just right. No complaints. The cleanliness, long hours, and good food are more than enough reasons to come back the next time I'm around Timog and craving Mediterranean! ”

“ My friend was taking me to lunch one hot afternoon and we were walking the streets of Timog on the way to a restaurant which was still apparently closed when we got there. She told me she knew of a good Persian restaurant near by that I might like to try and since we're already there, why not? When we got there it made me realize that I actually know the restaurant and have been there a few times though admittedly it was late at night and a couple of friends were starving from drinking all night. We were greeted by the friendly staff and were shown to our table, since I don't go Persian a lot, she was kind enough to walk me through the menu and gave us a few minutes to decide. This has to be one of my favourite Persian restaurants even though it's small and not updated when it comes to the interior and such but when it all boils down to it, does it really matter? The food you're getting is top notch and it's also very affordable. Try it and maybe see for youself! ”

“ If you have beef with Behrouz, it's simply this: you came at a time too early. I mean I get it, not everyone can be expected to show up past 11PM, stone-cold sober and stressed out from the day. But now you know why the service is slow, and the overall experience isn't stellar: y'all ain't got no chill when you got there. There's a good reason Behrouz is open until the wee hours in THIS specific place. It's a post-inuman chow place. That is to say, when you show up for their greasy beef or lamb kebabs, heaping plates of basmathi rice, exceptional hummus and maybe even a shisha, it's because you already got your drunk on. You have already lived up your night. You're here because you wanna get a bite that isn't Mcdonald's or goto. You've done battle, and now you're ready for carbs and greasy meats, preferably with someone who you're willing to get cozy with in one of their kubo. Service is slow because you're supposed to enjoy the languid time spent here, dammit. Behrouz is actually a very good place that describes Manila: patience is a virtue, timing is everything, and no, not every place is supposed to jump up when you snap your fingers. You need to try their shisha, dude. ”
