Exploring a new culture can be invigorating, as mouths learn to make new sounds, stomachs accept new flavors, and feet adjust to walking on gravity-free foreign soils. Discover the wonders of weightlessness and tastiness with today's Groupon at Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro. Choose from two options:

• For $15, you get $30 worth of Mediterranean cuisine for dinner.
• For $8, you get $16 worth of Mediterranean cuisine for lunch.

Bha! Bha! is a Persian term of confounded delight, engendered in diners taken aback by the menu's exclamatory blend of exotic spices, succulent vegetables, and slow-simmering meats. Vegetarian concoctions, such as the eggplant and artichoke small plate, a reservoir of flavor with stratums of Bulgarian feta, olives, and mustard-dill sauce ($10.95) are available for plant eaters, and carnivores sate the demands of humanity's lupine ancestry with braised khoresh dishes that include lamb bademjune, delivered in a wading pool of tomato-lemon sauce with eggplant and grape buoys ($23.95). Gustatory delights await lunch diners, too, with the same scrumptious ingredients pressed in portable sandwiches ($8.95+) for nibblers unable to fit a three-course meal and table setting in their attaché cases.

Bha! Bha!'s decorative interior weaves diners into a tapestry of rich colors and oriental rugs anchored by an ornate interior fountain. Belly dancers mingle alongside the exotic cuisine every Saturday, setting the mood for a very special occasion or very special watch-and-learn belly-dancing lessons.
