Sofrekhane Shah Zadeh

Southeastern Iran


Within the upper section of the Shahzde gardens, this restaurant offers private courtyard niches and two multidomed dining rooms, one cosier but darker, with lamplit tables. As well as typical kabab meals the menu includes minty boz ghormeh, a meat/bean mush with kashk (reconstituted whey) – delicious (if somewhat small portions). There's an additional 15% service/tax not included in menu prices.
