Persia Grill - Greenbelt 5 and Valero

I admit, I am addicted to Persia Grill. Somehow the smell of Persia emits through the exhaust of the restaurant and even inside the restaurant, you can smell the Persian goodness that permeates through the glass walls where the grilling takes place. I ALWAYS opt for Business Meal 2 also known as "BM2" it's quick, cheap and very filling. But you feel like sleeping afterwards after all the rice packed underneath your main course. 

It includes 1 stick of chicken kebab, slices of tomatoes, yogurt and 2 cups of rice with a slice of that devilish butter trying so hard to tempt you to just "eat me". 

More on the business meals, I snagged a copy of the menu on the BMs. 

Let's do the math:

Soda: Php50

BM2: Php 120 

______________

Php 170 

2 pesos shy of Sucat toll fees for the Southern folks! 

Now if you want to add some tastebud cleansers, order a cup of rosewater and lemon tea, it's refreshingly delicious despite it being hot. -I normally get this for free since the servers all know I am a regular. 

Food: 8/10

Ambiance: 10/10

Service: 6/10, often inconsistent (for greenbelt branch) 

Drinks: 6/10, pricey but you can do away with water and make your meal even less than a roundtrip toll fee from the South and back.
