Khorasan Kabob House

In 2005, Global Village Café opened to excellent reviews, at the current location ofKhorasan Kabob House. Everything went well until Arian's wife received a diagnosis of cancer. Her declining health soon made it necessary to close the restaurant. After her death, Arian joined the U.S. Army and served a tour of duty as a linguist in his native Afghanistan. When he returned, friends and former customers again encouraged him to open a restaurant. Arian remarried and, with his new bride—and again with the help of Joan Neugebauer— opened Khorasan Kabab House in 2010. Arian describes the menu, with its variety of dishes from several Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean countries as, "What I like. To be honest, it is what I like and what I want to eat." Indeed, his family regularly dines on the same dishes found in the restaurant, whether prepared there or at home.
