  Kobra Bread
  
  nothing puts a bigger smile on our faces than when customers ask for the kobra bread! named after the chef’s mother and our favorite grandmother who touched all of our lives in innumerable ways, the kobra is a wonderful little piece of gently sweetened bread, made with pure and wholesome ingredients: flour, ginger, sugar, vegetable oil, milk, with sesame seeds on top. much of chef manijeh’s vast menu comes from her professional training, but there is always a taste of her mother in every sweet bit that comes out of our kitchen.
