Restaurants in Southeastern Iran

  1. A

    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.

  2. Hezar-o Yek Shab

    The name means ‘1001 nights’, and eating on the takhts (daybed-style tables) in the rear garden is a favourite Bami experience. The food is excellent, especially the juicy chicken kabab, and it’s bastani (ice cream) is famous.

    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.

  4. C

    Restaurant Ganjali Khan

    This underground place near the bazaar entrance offers delicious food at very reasonable prices which makes it a local favourite. You can also just sit and drink tea. There is no English sign.

  5. D

    Khayyam Restaurant

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

    Chelo Kabab Rahimi

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

  7. F

    Esteghlal Restaurant

    Less than no frills, but a decent range of cheap staples in the centre of town.
