It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to 36 by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a 37 part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is 38 ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually 39 to book(预定) a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening 40 .
When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely 41 . I looked around but no 42 was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists(旅游团) came in about half an hour ago,” he said. “It was like an invasion (侵略). 43 the place was full! We can hardly manage (对付，应付).”
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. “The people there are about to 44 ,” he said. “Just hold on and you’ll 45 a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people 46 the corner table paid their 47 , got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
48 , our table was almost out of sight. We tried to call the attention of the waiter who sent us there, 49 he, like all the other waiters, was 50 with the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very 51 with life. The waiter, now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our 52 .
A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had 53 news for us. 54 a little sorry he told us that there was no meat or fish. “All we can 55 you,” he said, “is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !”

When first entered ,Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob（烤羊肉串）hit the senses ,you are incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plate piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10,so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
The food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill（烤肉架）.
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different style of grilled meat.
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, kabob consisting of grilled beef.
