M Cafe & Grill's Persian lunch special, typically 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM, call 949-328-9530 to confirm today's window, is a full halal plate at a weekday price at 22611 Lake Forest Dr C2, about ten minutes from Irvine Spectrum. If your lunch break usually means the same three fast-casual chains, this is the upgrade.
What a Persian lunch looks like
Forget the sad desk salad. A Persian lunch plate is charcoal-grilled kebab or a slow-simmered stew, a pile of saffron-steamed basmati rice, a fire-roasted tomato, and warm bread. It's the kind of meal that was cooked for hours so you can eat it in thirty minutes.
The lunch menu rotates through the kitchen's core: Beef Koobideh hand-pressed each morning, Ghormeh Sabzi that has been simmering since before you got to work, and wraps like the Chicken Koobideh Wrap when you need it in one hand.
