Shamsol Emare

Top choice in Southeastern Iran


A series of private dining spaces with carpeted floor-seating, elbow cushions and fireplaces for winter evenings are ranged around a pretty fountain yard, with globe lamps, traditional music and artificial streams. A kabab speciality is juje kabab ba ostefan (on-the-bone chicken); small, deep-fried trout come filleted with a sesame crust and the mirza ghasemi (garlic-smoked eggplant mush) is divine.

It's 2.6km southeast of Aboozar Sq.
