Esfahan Restaurant Tips by TheWanderingCamel Top 5 Page for this destination

Delicious food

Somewhere in New Julfa, near the Gevork Church and Hakim Nezami street, there is an Armenian restaurant that serves the best, and the biggest, chelou kabab in Esfahan. The mast (yoghurt), salads and torshis (pickles) without which no Iranian meal is complete, are delicious too. And the bread, as everywhere in Iran, is irresistible.

Favorite Dish: The chelou kabab the restaurant is famed for is a great mound of perfectly prepared chelou, fluffy white rice, topped with saffron rice and barberries and dressed with best butter to accompany the yard-long platter of luleh kabab (minced and rolled meat) and kabab barg (cubed and marinated meat). Grilled tomatoes and fresh herbs garnish the dish.
