Darchin

Iran


Tucked behind the Mashahir Sq cistern, this bustling, midrange family restaurant has a trio of live musicians playing nightly, serves herbal teas (IR20,000), juices (IR30,000 to IR60,000) and traditional sherbets – try the mint – though the coffee (IR30,000 to IR45,000) could be better. There's also a good range of meals (mains IR145,000 to IR400,000), including a daily-changing special.

Friendly waiter Isa ('Jesus') speaks English. Add 10% for tax and service.
