Kerman Restaurants

  1. Akhavan Hotel Restaurant

    What it lacks in atmosphere (it looks like a hospital ward) is amply made up for with the delicious, varied, plentiful and cheap Iranian food; try a bit of everything from the buffet dinner. For a little more romance get it served in your room.

  2. Chelo Kabab Rahimi

    No-frills place true to its name that also offers a decent khoresht (thick meaty stew with rice).

  3. Hamam-e Vakil Chaykhaneh

    This architecturally magnificent subterranean teahouse built in 1820 is easily the most atmospheric dining option in Kerman. It's better known for its elegant arches and superb vaulted ceilings than its food (lunch only), though it's not bad. A traditional band plays most days.

  4. Khayyam Restaurant

    This faux-traditional place is convenient to the Ayatollah Saduqi St hotels, though the food quality is inconsistent.

  5. Pepe Nero Italian Food

    More than 700 years after Marco Polo swung by, Kerman finally has a restaurant (not a pizzeria) serving foreign flavours. And while it's a way off any Michelin stars, the pasta and lasagne we had were surprisingly good.

  6. Restaurant Ganjali Khan

    This underground place near the bazaar entrance is not nearly as charming as the Hamam-e Vakil Chaykhaneh, but delicious food at very reasonable prices makes it a local favourite. You can also just sit and drink tea. There is no English sign.
