Today since we were in the area we paid another visit to Rahoon, a Persian restaurant in Burlington where we have enjoyed lunch on a number of occasions.
For Kerry Persian tea spiced with cardamom and served with saffron nabat (crystallized sugar sticks). Today I was happy to just enjoy some cold water.
