Tehran Recipes

Tehrani cuisine represents the metropolitan melting pot of Iran, where regional dishes from across the country converge and evolve. The capital's cooking tends toward refined versions of Persian classics — tahdig with perfectly crispy rice, juicy koobideh kebabs, and elaborate jeweled rice for celebrations. Street food culture thrives with ash reshteh, falafel, and lavashak. Tehrani dining reflects both tradition and modern Iranian culinary innovation.
