MOUNTAIN VIEWVOICE

By Elena Kadvany

It’s a familiar script in Silicon Valley. Developer builds proj-ect. Existing tenants, often

longtime mom-and-pop busi-nesses, must move out. The com-munity bemoans the closures. Trendy, bigger-name tenants move in and eventually, everyone moves on.

Mountain View’s Rose Interna-tional Market represents a rare, happy plot twist in that script. After the community rose up against a proposed four-story apartment complex at the desir-able corner of Castro Street and El Camino Real in 2014, the

developer agreed to sign afford-able, long-term leases for several small businesses then at the site, including the decades-old Persian market, so they would remain in the ground floor of the new building once it opened. Five years later, loyal custom-ers have quickly returned to the new and improved Rose Market, which reopened in February. The space is larger, cleaner and updat-ed, but the food and the people cooking it remain the same. Mally Attar has been leading the Rose Market kitchen since its

WhenWhere

earliest days at its original loca-tion on Castro Street, which Iran native Saied Mehranfar opened with his brothers. Attar left her native Tehran, Iran, 30 years ago for a better life for her 4-year-old son, she said in an interview. A self-taught cook who had also run a bakery in Iran, she quickly earned a repu-tation around Rose Market and started cooking for the owners when they added a kitchen, she said. “I love it,” she said of cooking. In Persian culture, food, she added succinctly, is “everything.” The market’s ever-popular khouresh (stews), herb-forward soups, fluffy basmati rice and succulent kebabs are the foods Attar has cooked at home for decades. During the lunch rush at the new Rose Market, customers wait eagerly for steaming takeout box-es stuffed generously with saffron rice and kebabs or satisfying beef-and-lamb koubideh wrapped in pillowy-soft lavash bread. Cooks make the rice in enormous vats in the new, larger kitchen while kebabs and vegetables char on two massive grills nearby. Work your way through the khoresh bar for an education in the Persian palate’s affinity for tart flavors and herbs, like fesen-jan (a thick stew of ground chick-en, walnuts and pomegranate), bademjan (eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers and sour grapes) and ghormeh sabzi, a fragrant herb stew. There’s also ash reshteh, a nourishing bean and noodle soup eaten during Nowruz, the Persian New Year. It’s filled with lentils, garbanzos, pinto beans, parsley, spinach and noodles, then gar-nished with kashk (whey) and crispy fried onion and mint.

Everything goes well with a side of hummus or mast-o-khiar, a creamy yogurt dip with cucum-ber and mint. While you wait for your food, peruse the market’s aisles of imported goods for D.I.Y. add-ons like pickled cucumbers, whole sour cherry jam and fresh herbs. For dessert, grab plump dates or a container of shole zard, saffron rice pudding. Don’t sleep on the daily specials.

On a recent Friday, Attar made heaping piles of shirin polo, a sweet, orange-hued rice studded with slivers of orange peel, bar-berries and toasted pistachios and almonds. Other specials include tahchin, baked saffron rice with yogurt, eggs and chicken; and baghali polo, dill and fava bean rice topped with a juicy lamb shank (it’s Attar’s favorite dish to cook at home).

Ibrahim Almamorr, an Iraqi refugee who has worked for Rose Market since 1995, is in charge of breaking down ani-mals for the all-halal meat case and preparing marinades for the kebabs. His current favorite is the chicken breast, marinated in yogurt, garlic, white and black pepper and paprika, then grilled. It’s best enjoyed over rice with a heavy dousing of tahini, he said. Customers can also now buy pre-marinated, raw meat to cook at home. When Almamorr first start-ed working at Rose Market, halal butchers were few and far between in the Bay Area. He claims the market now boasts the region’s largest offering of halal meat cuts, with everything from chicken thighs and goat to New York steak and lamb hearts. Rose Market continues to be a draw for local Iranians as well as the broader community, which has happily celebrated the return, rather than the loss of a much-beloved, family-run business. V

Count on gasps, applause, laughs and tears if you sit down to “Avengers: Endgame,” the 22nd film in the unprecedented cin-ematic bonanza called the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For some, the mega-blockbuster sequel rep-resents a kind of popcorn-movie nirvana; for others, it’s an obliga-tion; and for still others, it’s a non-event to be avoided. Marvel tour-ists may surprise themselves on how much they care about what they find in this fourth “Aveng-ers” film, while fanatics will have a geekgasm of yet undiscovered pro-portions. To put it more politely, they’ll love what amounts to the biggest series finale ever. When last we left the Aveng-ers — the superhero team led

by the at-times competitive Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans) — they had experienced terrible defeat at the hands of powerful alien supervillain Thanos (Josh Brolin, via performance-capture CGI). With half of the world’s population wiped out (includ-ing half of the Earth’s mightiest heroes), the good guys and gals find themselves deep in a funk, licking wounds and contemplat-ing how and if they can fight back against Thanos. In the film’s early going, returning screenwriters Christopher Markus and Ste-phen McFeely ask a provocative question: Once a plan is hatched, should the Avengers save this day?

The reasons behind that ques-tion constitute spoilers I’ll studi-ously avoid, other than to say the question hinges on some being luckier than others at Thanos’ hand of fate. In a manner that’s sometimes maudlin and some-times quippy, “Avengers: End-game” takes its time getting into big action, first living in the pain, fear and doubt of its inciting cir-cumstances in the confidence that its audience will follow. Marvel Films haters often cite the abun-dance of humor in these films, and the film’s first act locates itself somewhat awkwardly at the inter-section of comedy and tragedy (one character’s alcoholism gets played for laughs). Once the heroes resolve to play

the longest of shots, returning directors Joe and Anthony Russo begin their endgame, a journey that requires acrobatic plot twists (in a supernatural spin on spoil-ers, one character tells another, “If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen”), passes through a climax that energetically flips through epic comic-book splash pages, and arrives at a coda that provides deeply satisfying closure for the end of an era in Marvel Films. Markus, McFeely and the Russos conjure a convincing illusion of anything-can-happen abandon in their storytelling. The truth is that “Avengers: Endgame” uses every trick in the Marvel playbook (including one in reverse...) to reach the culmination of years of calculation, but their valedictory address rewards the sprawling cast and the huge global audience with witty nostalgic celebration and genuine heart. The soul of these movies has always belonged to Downey Jr., who in 2008 set the tone of cooler-than-thou humor and fierce emo-tional undercurrents, with Evans bringing up the all-American rear in the straight-man part of Boy Scout younger brother; both get franchise highlights to play here. If the calculations sometimes whiff (a shot highlighting the women of Marvel, for example, feels like the film simultaneously condescending and patting itself on the back), even the haters will have to concede that “Avengers: Endgame” meets its degree of dif-ficulty with a high level of popular entertainment.Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language. Three hours, 1 minute.
