Sit down at your own mehmooni

A mehmooni is a Persian gathering with guests, and anyone who's hosted one knows how it goes. There's always one person who brought the dish everybody talks about. Often that person is standing at the grill.

That skill takes years to get right, and for a big guest list it takes the whole evening. The person doing it misses the party. That's the part we take off your plate. We'll cook for your whole guest list, over open flame, the traditional way. You get to be at the table when the food comes out.
