Isfahani

Manama


Excellent Iranian food at an almost-budget price is a winning combination. The Isfahani juja kebab (made with spiced boneless baby chicken) served with rice is the signature dish, which can be enjoyed in this pleasant restaurant with simple, tasteful decor that evokes its namesake, the city of Isfahan. Super-friendly staff complete the pleasant dining experience.
