Iranian cooking is world renowned as the heart and soul of Middle Eastern cuisine. Just as its geographical position is the actual land bridge that connects the Middle East with the Far East and historically the centre of the ancient Silk Road. Iran is historically known as Persia and was the transitional location where goods were traded between the West and the Orient for thousands of years.

Many of our dishes are slowly cooked to ensure the maximum flavour profile to your meal. We utilize chelow (white rice) that is soaked, boiled and steamed. Kababs also form part of the traditional cuisine. Kebabs are made with lamb, chicken, steak, and ground meat. The different styles of kabab vary from a thick and chunky tikka to a finer kabab-barg. To make a ground kabab, the meat is generally marinated with finely chopped onion and lemon juice. Most kababs are served accompanied by herbs or pickles and are eaten wrapped in taftun or sangak flat-style breads. The exception to this is the kabab-barg, long considered to be the national dish of Iran.
