Do you remember the lamb served at Hossein when it used to be an unpretentious affair over at Makati Avenue back in the day? The lamb that opened two branches at the Fort. One on the second floor of Serendra and one in in front of the NBC tent, also at the Fort.
The Serendra branch has gone upscale in interiors and, naturally, in prices. The diners have to sustain the ambiance through the revenue, after all. The lamb, however, is still as yummy as it has always been. So, if you're craving for lamb and don't mind spending a little more for the ambiance, go to Hossein. If you are a party of 6 or more, the Supreme Kebab 1 or 2 should be your best bet. It is a sampler platter that has everything Hossein has to offer that is worth ordering. It goes for P2,700. Add in an order of Biryani rice and you'll have a great meal. Oh, also try their Sangria. I know it's quite irregular to order a Spanish drink in this Persian place, but their bartender whips up a great version. You won't be sorry.
I was just there for lunch. We ordered the lamb shish because there were only two of us. We ate it with naan bread instead of rice. We also had hummus (ground chick pea) and mutabal (eggplant) dips with pita bread. And of course, the Sangria. Everything was excellent.
