A
Hezardestan Traditional Teahouse
Hezardestan is one of Iran’s most beautiful teahouse-restaurants. Carpets, samovars, antique qalyans, cushions and wooden benches are surrounded by walls adorned with scenes from Ferdosi’s Shahnamah. There’s live music most nights, the manager speaks fluent English and the food is pretty good including vegetarian possibilities. Just be prepared for hefty ‘service’ and ‘tea’ charges that can double the bill.

B
Hafez Restaurant
With attractive wrought iron and copper-work, this new, high-ceilinged eatery is a fine choice in the consulate area. For a taste of Central Asia, try their chelo estanboli (IR17,000), virtually identical to plov (an archetypal if fatty Uzbek lamb-and-rice dish).

Vitamin Sara
Come to this unpretentious juice-shop for Mashhad’s best maajun (IR12,000), a fabulous mush of crushed walnuts, pistachios, ice cream, cream, banana and honey, all whizzed through the orgasmatron to form one of Iran’s most spectacular desserts.

F
Ali Restaurant
Cavernous downstairs pay-first diner with a giant spoon-and-fork looming above the cashier. The menu is typical but available in English. Fast turnover.

G
Jahan Hotel Restaurant
Kababs, schnitzels or trout (IR49,500) are unremarkable but truly phenomenal views across the Haram make lunch-time dining here a must.
