Lala Rokh: Beacon Hill’s Best Lunch Deal
I could eat at Lala Rokh everyday of the week, but with courses in the $20 range, it’s way over my budget for a regular meal. Luckily, the Persian restaurant offers unbeatable lunch specials that make fine dining accessible to even the most plebian of college students. For just $10, this is what you get:
- Complimentary bread basket with mashed chickpeas (way better than butter), which is essentially an appetizer
- A Persian-inspired wrap in varieties like marinated chicken, grilled sirloin tips, and grilled shrimp (my personal favorite)
- Two sides: a tangy cabbage salad and seasoned potato wedges
The same $10 will get you a sandwich, at best, elsewhere on the Hill. There’s no other comparable deal in the area, since everything else in that price range is probably at a cafe — which, however quaint, doesn’t come close to the quality of food at Lala Rokh. Plus, the service is impeccable, and that’s something you can’t put a price on.
