That new Mideast restaurant in Bryan, Babylon Cafe looks real funky from the outside...much more appealing decor than either Zand's or Shiraz...might be an option.
Shiraz is fantastic. I've eaten at Zand's a few times, and it's pitiful compared to Shiraz. Arbano cafe at Holleman/Dartmouth is decent, but their beef and lamb are pretty bad; their vegetarian dishes are good.
I'll have to try Babylon soon.
So we tried Babylon.
It was hit and miss. The lamb kebab was great, the rest of the food was pretty good.
The service was crazy slow. The drinks are no-refill and you cannot have tap water; they sell bottled for a dollar.
Overall, the lamb was as good as Shiraz, but nothing was better than Shiraz. Considering that and the other factors I discuss above, I'll stick with Shiraz, especially since Shiraz has a much more broad menu.
