A place for people to gather for authentic Persian home cooking is the goal behind Sofreh in Prospect Heights. Look for traditional dishes like summer squash with fetah, grilled eggplant with caramelized onions and a salad of honey roasted beets. Larger plates include lamb shanks in a turmeric broth, chicken with Persian plum & saffron sauce, and beef kebabs with pickled pearl onions and a walnut-pomegranate sauce. Desserts bring traditional Persian ice creams and rose custard with cardamom and pistachio.
