Food is important for you or no ? Make good and delicious food is a art, Iran's women are very good cookery.
Some foods are popular and some of them are special and made in a part of my country. for example every cities you can find Cholo kabab, Jooje kabab, Ghorme Sabzi and .... .but for example only in Azarbayejan you can find Ashe doogh, or in east of Iran people like Shirin Polo from another place.
In Tehran you can find restaurants in every place. if you go for shopping in Bazaar don't worry you can eat very delicious food and it is cheaper than another place.
In north of Tehran food's price more expensive than another place. fast food don't serve in restaurant. but i don't like fast food and i prefer eat my wife pizza.

After a busy morning and early afternoons sightseeing, I was very pleased when my guide said we were off to eat.

We drove to Park -e-Shahr, which we'd passed by earlier.
In this park is this traditional tea-house/ restaurant.
Outside was a covered stall, with the smell of charcoal emanating from a small fire, next to a samovar.

Entering the restaurant, there was a choice of sitting on chairs at a table, or on the carpet covered raised platforms lining the walls. My guide and driver headed for the former option.

My guide than ran through the menu, which was going to be a familiar mantra during my trip- kebabs - chicken, lamb, minced lamb, chicken and lamb, sheep's neck, sheep's muscle ! (I heard this mentioned a few times, but never found out exactly what it was!)

I opted for the chicken/lamb combo, which arrived on a platter, on a mound of rice.
Yogurt with garlic/ shallot and to drink - Dugh - Yogurt and water flavoured with a herb, which I thought was dill, but my guide said it was mint. Similar to Turkish ayran or Indian lassi (Apparently it is a no- no to drink dugh with fish)

So this was my first of many chelo kebabs, my first encounter with Iranian cutlery - spoon and fork - no knife (although my guide requested one from the waiter for me), then following the meal came tea (cay).

The Iranian way is to place a lump of sugar (ghand) behind the front teeth and suck the tea
(Prior to my trip, I had come across a 'packing list' for Iran, which mentioned a tea spoon- it had puzzled me at the time - why would I need to pack a teaspoon? now I knew!)

During our meal, we'd been joined by my guides mother, she spoke quite a bit of English. Apparently in Iran, after 30 years of working, you can retire - she'd been a teacher, but after retiring, had started work in tourism, as had her husband.

I was surprised to realise that this year, I had been working 30 years exactly, so I'd have been eligable for retirement!!!!

This was a pleasant place to eat, with a nice atmosphere. Some days musicians play here, I think if we had arrived earlier, we'd have heard them.

Open 09.00 - 23.00

Favorite Dish: Chicken and lamb kebab - it was my first in Iran - so still a novelty- didn't realise how, after nearly 3 weeks I would come to dread the menu being read out, listing the 'varieties' of skewered grilled meats with rice!

Just before my visit, there had been a few news items about the increasing costs of rice, and how people were having to restrict their consumption of the white grain. Don't think this had filtered through to Iran judging through the mounds that were set before me!

Nasim means ‘wind’ and Shomal means ‘North’ and the place means good food. This is a family run restaurant and I was treated with the utmost hospitality. My food was cooked from fresh ingredients and they kept coming back to my table to see if I needed anything. The food was fantastic. Then I got the bill and could not believe how little they had charged me. You can also smoke Sheesha here. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone on a budget who still wants to enjoy good food.

You can smoke sheesha here if you want. It is on the far side of the restaurant and will not bother non-smokers (like me).

Enjoy!
