The Mediterranean Sea shaped some of the world's most ancient civilizations, which gathered by its shores to dive for the delicious dips and gyros growing beneath its crystal waves. Transport to this legendary culinary coast with today's Groupon at Shandeez Grill in Northwest Austin. Choose from two options:
- For $19, you get a two-course dinner for two, including one appetizer, two entrees, and two non-alcoholic beverages, (up to a $42.95 value).
- For $7, you get $15 worth of Persian and Greek fare.
Shandeez Grill sizzles, stacks, and spreads contemporary Persian cuisine with its extensive menu. The Persian kashk-o-bademjan meshes baked eggplant with dry yogurt, mint, sautéed onion, walnuts, garlic, and saffron ($4.99), while its Greek competitor, baba gannouj, dunks dippables like villainous high-school vice principals in tahini, lemon, garlic, and olive oil ($4.99). Entrees include the joojeh-kebab, a bone-in cornish game hen skewered alongside grilled tomatoes and basmati rice ($9.99), and a gyro platter ($10.99) with greek salad.
Diners are welcome to bring their own spirited beverage ($2.49 corkage fee/glass, and is not included or valid with the value of this Groupon) and lucky spork.
Shandeez Grill Restaurant
Rich, yellow threads of saffron melt into the stews and kebab marinades simmering in the kitchen of Shandeez Grill Restaurant. Family plates cover tables with a variety of Persian-style kebabs to share or play pickup sticks with, and Greek recipes entertain diners with flavorful gyro wraps and cool tzatziki sauce. On select nights, live music mixes with the scent of seared meat on the grill and sweet hookah smoke snaking through the dining room.
