A Simple Skewers Delight

by The Unknown Encinitas Eater

While waiting for my car to be washed at the, I walked into a somewhat hidden mini-restaurant called Skewers Grill, a Persian restaurant located inside the Shell gas station on the corner of Leucadia Blvd and El Camino Real, next to McDonald’s. The restaurant advertises by word of mouth only and the mouth should be the one reflecting upon these wonderful simple dishes. After starting out the new year on a diet, I’ve been looking for that healthy, yet satisfying dish. If you’re on Weight Watchers, the points of these dishes are very low, with some near zero points.

The owner and chef is Mary Ghandy. Her personal recipes and fresh food are prepared daily using her own low-calorie sauces. She prepares her dishes with herbs, vegetables, and rice along with lamb, chicken, or fish. The ingredients are a well-kept secret and are made from scratch, but my taste buds were triggering in delight.

I took home the menu for future takeouts. We suggest that whether or not your on a diet, you stop by and try the healthy, yet very tasty and satisfying food choices. I do not pretend to know the science of food, but I do know I have great taste buds. When I say something tastes good, it does.
