Lincolnish Lunch: kebabs

(not my actual lunch) Checked out Alborz Restaurant in Woodland Hills and found a hefty chicken kebab lunch for almost a Lincoln Lunch fiver. The eatery has seven lunch specials for $6.95 each, including a boneless chicken kabob, which I ordered.

My food came with a heaping plate of the most fluffy rice I have ever tasted, a small salad and a broiled whole plum tomato. Six large, moist pieces of marinated chicken rounded out my tasty meal. Diners also get a basket of warm pita bread, butter, and a quarter of a raw onion when they sit down.

Other lunch specials include a ground chicken kabob, ground sirloin kabob, kidney beans and veal, chicken salad, split peas and beef, and diced beef with green beans. We were the first eaters to arrive at Alborz but others trickled in while we ate. The small restaurant has minimal decor and an open seating arrangement. Park out front in the strip mall.

Visit Aborz at 6001 Fallbrook Ave. on the northwest corner of Oxnard Street. (818) 313-9999.
