 Bon appetit! by TheWanderingCamel
Kufteh Tabrizi - delicious meatballs made from rice and lamb with a filling of prunes and almonds, cooked in and served with a fragrant broth
Fesenjan - an aromatic stew of chicken and walnuts flavoured with pomegranate and cardomom
Great salads and as always in Iran, perfect rice, yummy (torshi) pickles and the best bread.

If you are looking for somewhere to take your Iranian friends, this is an option worth considering
Whilst there are some expensive dishes on the menu -mostly seafood, a good steak and salad here will cost about $4-5.
Very good fruit juices and desserts are a feature. Leave a Comment

When we came out of Golestan Palace, we were looking for something to eat, but there was nowhere obvious. I was so sure that somewhere as tourist-orientated as Golestan Palace is, that it would be surrounded by souvenir shops and eateries. But, no.
The problem of course, is that most restaurants and shops have signs only in Farsi script, so you really need to check each store close up to see what they sell.
We bought a couple of freshly squeezed fruit juices from a street vendor, and as we were drinking those, I looked down a side street, and noticed a doorway with a plant outside. Putting two and two together, I assumed this to be a restaurant and sent David to investigate. It was indeed a small eatery and we went inside.
The menus were all in Farsi script and no-one spoke any English. With the help of my phrase book, sign language and a lot of laughter, including the waitress bringing out plates of various ingredients to show us what she meant, we finally placed an order. I hoped I’d ordered one chicken and one lamb, and was very pleased when that was exactly what arrived!
The chicken came served with a sour sauce and a side dish of rice with barberries and the crispy crust I like so much. David’s lamb shank was delicious too and we had a yogurt each, the obligatory bread plus two local colas. The whole bill came to 70,000 IRR (just over $7). The food was tasty, the meat was lean, the portions were large, the place was clean, the waitress was friendly and we had a lot of fun trying to communicate. What more could you want from a meal, especially at those prices!

Before we’d managed to find our bearings on the first day, we were looking for something to eat at lunchtime, when we came across this chelo kebab place. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you the name of the place, as it was only written in Farsi script (which I don’t understand), and the young chap who ran it did not speak a single word of English.
We pointed to the food we wanted (a chicken kebab and a chelo (minced lamb) kebab. They were cooked in front of us and served on bread with chillies (very hot!), onion and lemon. We enjoyed them very much. The establishment also offered a take-away service. It cost us IR 30,000 (approx $3) for two kebabs and two soft drinks. I was amused to watch the young chap threading some unidentifiable meat on to skewers in-between serving customers – I don’t think I have ever seen anyone wash their hands as much as he did! Before and after every customer as well as sometimes in-between too just for good measure.

This place is located about a few hundred metres south of the Khayyam metro station and this incredibly decorated restaurant is an oasis surrounded by the chaos of Tehran. This is a 300 yr old mosque and it was restored within the past few years. The food is not cheap but worth every rial and you can try any Persian dish ranging from dizi to eggplant. It was my favorite restaurant in Iran. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average

The Atlas Hotel Restaurant was quite pleasant, although nothing more than that. The first night we were there, they’d run out of rice – unheard of in Iran! The menu was quite extensive, but many of the items were ‘finished’. We ate here a few times, and had Barley soup (picture 1) for starter the first night. The soup was thick, but a little bland and tasted faintly of lemon. For main course I had the Bakhtiari Kebab (picture 2) which was a mixed lamb and chicken kebab, and David had the Kareshi kebab (picture 3) which was lamb fillet. Both dishes were IR 60,000 each and the meat was very, very tender and tasty. They were both served with thick wedges of potato, pickles, chutneys, carrots and lemon.
On our second visit, we both had the Soltani kebab (picture 4) which came with one skewer with lamb fillets and one skewer with minced lamb. Again it was very enjoyable. This time it was served with rice which is cooked in such a way that it gets a crusty bottom (picture 5). Yummy!

bad, and at weekends it's often a good idea to make reservation. There are
many very good, even luxurious restaurants in the far north of Tehran,
right up to the foothills of the Alborz, but they are very expensive and
very difficult to get to from the center without private transport.
Tehran also has some excellent cake shops and confectioneries. Mally of
the best are owned by Armenians, and the greatest concentration is in
Ostad Nejatollahi Street This is also the place to buy pistachios or
luxury foods. Almost any food not forbidden by Islam can be found in
Tehran and other major provincial capitals. Many foreign food restaurants
or restaurants catering to foreigners advertise in Tehran Times. look out
for any new ones. Before going to any restaurant, have a look at the
following list of some famous Iranian foods:
Chela Kabab-e Kubidel,
Stakes of minced meat and onions broiled on coal fire, assorted with
broiled tomatoes, served with rice. sumac, onion, and bread.
Chela Kabab-e Barg
Stakes of tenderized fillet meat broiled on coal fire, served together
with rice, sumac, pickles, onions. and bread.
A chicken cooked with ground nuts
in sour pomegranate juice, eaten with rice.
Jujeh Kabab
A delicious meal of broiled chicken assorted with various pickles.
Baqali Polo
A tasty meal of rice, beans and dill leaves cooked with lamb.
Tah Chin
A tasty dish of rice and lamb cooked with yogurt and flavored with
saffron Leave a Comment Theme: Local
