Gol Rezaieh Café - Tehran

A must! Located within walking distance from Abgineh Musehm, this café/restaurant offers traditional Persian dishes and stews in a beautiful and unique atmosphere. There is always a listing so you better call and make a reservation in advance!

Very nice and friendly, kind food and professional service. Very recommended.

One of the largest restaurants in Tehran: The goods: All meals are amazing. The cook is exceptional. Especially the Russian Kotlet Borsch soup. Meals are huge, so order one for two people and it is more than enough. The place has a fantastic decoration atmosphere. One of the oldest cafes in Tehran. The disadvantages: Everything is super expensive, they charge additional service fees. Also the place is small, so if you go without reservation, you must wait at least one hour.

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.
