OK, so I tend to exaggerate things sometimes… like that time I said I caught the BIGGEST WAVE EVER when I was surfing in San Diego, or that one time when I swore this girl was the HOTTEST CHICK IN THE WORLD, after my seventh beer… But, I swear to you on my cat’s life that I’m not exaggerating when I say that I crave for food from this place, World Class Persian Kabab (Persian & Mediterranean Cuisine), every freakin’ day!
I swear I need to have my fix of World Class Persian Kababs AT LEAST once a week or I go crazy. There’s another really cool Persian place that Jason and Harold like better, Ababu Persia Kitchen, which we featured in a previous episode. They’re both equally good, but for me, it’s really the World Class Persian Kabab dishes that I tend to crave.
Well first of all, let’s start with the place itself. It’s a pretty spacious restaurant that’s located in a very comfy place right on the corner of E. Rodriquez Avenue and Tomas Morato. Now there is seating inside as well as outside and there always seems to be enough space for everyone, though it does pack up during certain times.
Oh and did I mention that they’re open 24 hours!
So other than that, the food prices are extremely affordable. I swear you can come here with 100 Pesos (about $2.50 US Dollars) and you’ll totally have enough to eat a good meal. Now just cause it’s affordable does not mean they sacrifice any flavor here. You definitely get the tastiest food that will surely have you craving for more, like me.
My favorite dish here at the World Class Persian Kebab is the Chelo Kabab which has buttered rice, grilled tomatoes and onions, steak and a ground beef kebab type thing. I think that full dish only costs about 150 Pesos. Then I always add a fresh Mango & Melon shake which is an off menu item I request. Oh and the fresh fruit shake is ONLY 30 Pesos (less than $1 US Dollar)!!! I also recommend the Watermelon shakes and the Yogurt shakes here.
Sometimes, when I’m feeling extra hungry, for 50 pesos, I get an appetizer that might be a bit weird to everyone else. I’ve seemed to acquire a taste for Ox Brain that can be regularly found at the Persian / Middle Eastern Restaurants here in the Philippines. Not sure why, but some good Ox Brain with calamansi (lemon / lime / orange type local fruit used for seasoning) just hits the spot every time!
Anywayz, I definitely recommend you come check out World Class Persian Kebab. We’ll probably do a full on feature of this place sometime but Harold’s currently backed up with like a 6 month backlog because of all the work and demand WhenInManila.com has been getting for creative video production and features. (YAY for us!)
So next time, When In Manila, most definitely come to World Class Persian Kabab (Persian & Mediterranean Cuisine), anytime within the 24 hours of the day and get my favorite dish, the Chelo Kabab with some Ox Brain Appetizer and a Mango & Melon Fresh Fruit Shake. (All that for under 250 pesos or about $6 US Dollars!)
Oh and did I mention that they’re open 24 hours! Wait… yeah I did!
****P.S. I actually tried a different branch, in the Mandaluyong area, close to Pioneer mall, and it tasted like paper…. lol. But yeah the one I reviewed here, on the corner of E. Rodriguez Ave and Tomas Morato is the BOMB!

My FAVORITE 24 hour food place – "World Class Persian Kabab" MMMmmmm http://bit.ly/8pQ9Ze http://bit.ly/5PpTJM
When In Manila… try some Ox Brain! http://bit.ly/8pQ9Ze
have you tried eating at Mr. Kabab? food’s good there.
I’ll have to try this persian kebab also
I tried Mr Kabab once but what I ordered was just ok. It was a long time ago though so probably need to check it out again.
RT @marilynlico @VinceGolangco I love ox brain… with salt & the local calamansi http://bit.ly/8pQ9Ze
[...] *P.S. Ababu Persian Kitchen is Jason and Harold’s favorite Persian / Mediterranean food place in Manila, Philippines, and I love this place too! But for me (Vince), I crave for this other Persian Kabab place called World Class Persian Kabab. Check it out here – World Class Persian Kabab. [...]
I often pass by e.rod on my way to cubao and I’ve always been curious about this place but since the place doesn’t really pack up, I thought it wasn’t worth visiting. I’ll be giving this place a try sometime soon. Thanks for recommending!
i’ll try to go there with my family
once I go back in Q.C.,I will try it! Thanks for the info!:) My boyfriend will surely love it and I think we will be there always.:)
Wow, the food looks really good and the prices are very reasonable. I think I’ll try the Chicken Shawarma when I drop by here after my movie and massage at blue water day spa
Hey there!
I just ate there earlier! Tried their ‘Ox Brain’. YumYum!
wish ko talaga makapunta jan.
this is my fave..
i love kabab!!
craving for kabab..
cool site!
love this..
wow..kabab.. yummy..
They are open 24 hours a day….so i can go any time i want.
yummy Ox brain haha wonder if eating it will make me smarter
We’ve been there last last year… yummy nga ng food!
Thank you for posting the pic of their menu. Really helpful in finding out if they have shawarma… Maybe will sample the ox brain one of these days.
And very affordable ang price nila. Kain na tayo.
cheap but yummy food!
I just tried their branch in Madison Square Pioneer (Mandaluyong) last night and instantly fell in love with their food. It offers cheap, tasty comfort food and is open 24 hours. Staff are great too. It’s amazing. I loved the Strawberry with Yogurt shake, 45 pesos lang. Can’t wait for my next meal there which is hopefully next week!
my fiance and i are both regulars in World Class Persian Kebab. the lamb biryani with rice is my favorite (like it’s the only thing i order! haha). eugene (my fiance) on the other hand is very adventurous and have been trying different orders such as chelo kebab, beef shawarma on plate, beef biryani, and the tasty ox tounge. all the yogurt shakes are a must try, i should mention the mango yogurt shake can be pretty addictive. the price? super affordable. you can commit gluttony at a price less than 1 thousand pesos!
[...] your voyeuristic tendencies. But all is not lost, however. For visuals, I borrowed some shots from wheninmanila.com in order to further illustrate the next points in this long-winded soliloquy. These are all [...]
I just ate there an hour ago. Honestly, I didn’t like the food. The garlic sauce was nothing. There isn’t any spices you can taste on the shawarma. I regret ever visiting this place. Sorry. Just isn’t for me.
Which one did you go to? I actually tried a different branch, in the Mandaluyong area, close to Pioneer mall, and it tasted like paper…. lol. But yeah the one I reviewed here, on the corner of E. Rodriguez Ave and Tomas Morato is the BOMB! But yeah, totally respect your opinion.
RT @WhenInManila: World Class Persian Kabab (Mediterranean Cuisine) http://bit.ly/anCu6W. I want to eat here… and it's near our house
We went to the one at Madison Square.
When you add up the small portions, you’re paying more than P200 just to feel satisfied. P300 if you want to feel complete. The meat is minced, and the flavors are very basic and undeveloped. I’ve had much better Persian/Middle Eatern/Meditteranean food before, even around Manila.
Also, the service here is HORRIBLE. Not a single smile from anybody, and I am not exaggerating that EVERY GUEST in the restaurant was constantly waving arms and calling out for service. It became a game amongst us all, as we were all watching one another helplessly throughout our dinners.
Mosquitoes were everywhere; the walls, the ceilings, the windows, flying around. Everywhere. Including the rice and the fruit shake.
Nice place, I recommend it, food is good and the girls that go there sometimes at night are really beautiful, specially Lizel I. and Marianne B. !
