find local businesses using toll-free call from Google

Posted in services at 11:58 am by matapn

Google Voice Local Search is Google’s experimental service to make local-business search accessible over the phone.Using this service, you can:

  • search for a local business by name or category.
  • You can say “Giovanni’s Pizzeria” or just “pizza”.
  • get connected to the business, free of charge.
  • get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone.
    Just say “text message”.

Dial from any phone 1-800-GOOG-411

And it’s free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider.

Note: Google Voice Local Search is still in its experimental stage. It may not be available at all times and may not work for all users. We’re fine-tuning the service to get better at recognizing your requests. It’s currently only available in English, in the US, for US business listings.

the only persian restaurant in michigan

Posted in Food at 7:23 pm by matapn

Pars Restaurant in Farmington Hills on Orchard Lake Rd just north of 13 Mile Rd is the only Persian restaurant in Michigan.

I went for the dinner couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the great food.  Ash-e-reshteh (Soup # 15) reminded me of the Afghani Aash. Vegetarian Fesenjon (#35) was great; something totally different. Ghormeh Sabzi (#36) was delicious too.
