Delicious food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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.

    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.

    The Teahouse under Khaju Bridge: Tea and hubbly-bubbly
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Teahouse, or chaykhune, under Khaju Bridge is very traditional and may well have been in use since the bridge was built in the seventeenth century.

    Inside, men sit on the floor, listening to Iranian music, drinking glasses of strong, black tea and smoking the hubbly-bubbly or nargile.

    Traditional Iranian Restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Two evenings in Esfahan I ate at a traditional Iranian restaurant. I don’t know the name of it, but it is situated east of Imam square and just north of Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque (where I sat eating I had the illuminated mosque behind the back). It is up some stairs.
    There was good service and good food. There was a salad buffet with a big variety of things and many Iranian dishes on the menu. I liked the dizi very much and had it two days in a row (had had a lot of kebabs the previous days). You pay at a counter as you leave.
    Salad buffet, dizi and a big water was IR 35 000 (July 2006).

  • RESTAURANTS:
    Esahan, like many other places in l.ran. has its own special delicacy: Beryani. This is !!round lamb tried in its own grease, topped with seasoning and spices. You may like other popular Iranian dishes, particularly Chela Kabab, delicious as anywhere. Another famous delicacy of Esfahan is Gaz (nougat) , a chewy white candy with pistachios and almonds. You can eat in one of the following places:
    1. Abbasi Hotel.
    2. Ali Qapu Hotel.
    3. Azadi Hotel.
    4. Kowsar Hotel.
    5. Maharajah Restaurant.
    6. Now Bahar Eating Hall.
    7. Piruzi Hotel (Mehmansara).

    Bastani Restaurant: Great Atmosphere
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Off the southeastern corner of Imam Sq, this places is geared towards tourists but it makes up for it with its great atmosphere near the Imam Sq. The setting is spectacular and the food is amazing and cheap. It is one of the best places for atmosphere in Esfahan.

    NAGHSH-E-JAHAN TRADITIONAL DINNING ROOM: THE BEST VIEW IN ESFAHAN !
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • You won’t do better than this restaurant in Esfahan, It is located next to the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque in the main Imam (Naqsh-e Jahan) Square. Their food is mnade from the finest ingrediantes and service is excellent. Like all restaurants in Iran, its still amazingly cheap. The interior is tasteful and traditional. The outside seating is reserved for families. If you have a good sized group a big PLEASE or a small tip may get you out there, At night the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque is lit up and an amazing sight. They sometimes have live music in the restaurant as well. If you only eat in one restaurant in Esfahan, make it this one!

    Please note: This place seems to have changed names a few times.

    They make a good Abgousht stew, also known as a Dizzy. Just the making of the stew at the table is worth watching. They do a mixed meat grill that I would recommend.

  • Directions: Near the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque. Face the mosque and move slightly to your left. Now walk forward into the market and you will see a mannequin with traditional clothes and a sign (pictured) directing you.
