Gol Rezaieh Café - Tehran

A very small traditional Irish restaurant. This restaurant is located in the city centre and you should definitely book before going there. The owner is a very open man. The design is amazing, many nostalgic photos on the wall of ancient Iranian actors to The Doors Posters. The food is delicious and fresh. My recommendation, try the record of the day.

Life is best viewed through Rose colored glasses. This is the conclusion you will reach when finally seated at one of the nine or ten tables in the very cozy (and busy) Gol-e Rezaieh. As you scan the walls of the restaurant which is covered with hundreds of rare photographs and interesting collages of seemingly unrelated items, you realize there is something for every generation there. Mine was a picture of The Rolling Stones near the bathroom taken during the “Tattoo You” tour in 1982. Of course Gol-e Rezaieh did not become famous for the pictures. Their traditional and semi authentic foods also deserve top billing. On this day I had the Small bowl of borscht soup which was arguably one of the best bourchts I have ever had. Their Ghormesabzi with sour grapes and tomatoes, although not authentic, was absolutely delightful with well cooked pinto beans and a savory mix of herbs that defied the taste buds. I suggest taking public transport to visit Gol-e Rezaieh because the restaurant is located in the traffic restriction zone. The are not open for dinner so wakeup early for their breakfast or see if you can make it for lunch.

Historical restaurant where Sadegh Hedayat and Forough Farolhzad used to eat. The restaurant is quite small amd its walls are covered with photos of famous singers, actors and musical groups. The lighting is primarily red. They serve persian dishes and the menu variety is quite limited. Staff are quite friendly, the dishes are nice but they are quite pricey. It would worth a visit.

A small restaurant with some authentic stews. Very crowded and make sure you got a reservation and be extra punctual. The management is not very friendly and quite snobbish, be prepared! Very nostalgic ambiance, high prices! Average quality food with big portions, delicious Mast o Khiar, abit strange Gheyme though!

Nice atmosphere Foods are to fat! Dishes are big, might good for 2 Expensive
