I was introduced to a new (new-to-me) Persian food place today. It's a little deli, not a formal restaurant, and it's quite the happening place among a group of people who do not look much like me. I saw shelves of snacks and food-preparation items that looked absolutely delicious. I found MAAMOUL date bars and cardamom tea. I found sesame brittle made with rose water. I brought a big pile of stuff to the cash register. Oh, man, I was going nuts in there.

I looked really hard for Galaxy flutes, but didn't find them. That would really have made my day!

What town is it in? It sounds wonderful.

There's a Middle Eastern place in Albany on Solano which has home-made pistachio locum... oooh! Your sesame brittle in rosewater sounds awesome.

It's in Mountain View, on "Castro" (whatever-Castro-is-called-after-it-crosses-El-Camino), just a couple of buildings "west" (southwest) of El Camino.

Pistacio locum sounds yummy too. The sesame brittle has just a little bit of pistachio in it. Mmmmmm, Middle Eastern sweets! Delicious!
