  3. Borj Pizza

    Its unusually good Borj Special Pizza (IR26,000) has enough flavour that you don’t need to reach immediately for the ketchup. Rare indeed in Iran.

  4. Snack stalls, Azadi Sq

    Snacks, and confectioners selling Kermanshah's archetypal Nan Berenji cookies (literally 'bread-rice'; a round semi-sweet confection that's usually yellow and flavoured with safron).

    reviewed

  5. Eram Restaurant

    Eram’s staff are as eccentric as its wavy brickwork interior, which culminates in green-bronze framed copies of the Bisotun reliefs. It serves mainly kababs, but does fesenjun at lunchtime.

  6. Snack Stalls, Motahhari Blvd

    Near Ojak Crossing; snack stalls and confectioners selling Kermanshah's archetypal Nan Berenji cookies (literally 'bread-rice'; a round semi-sweet confection that's usually yellow and flavoured with safron).

  7. Jamshid Restaurant

    Surveyed by a gigantic bronze eagle and huge samovar, this unusual dining room is cut in two by an artificial ‘stream’. Try the local speciality khoresht khalol (lamb stewed with almonds) rather than the three-skewer dandeh kabab (IR65,000), which is famous more for its excessive size than for its flavour.

  8. Homa

    Combining the atmosphere of a teahouse with the calm elegance of an upmarket restaurant, Homa has embroidered tablecloths and blue-brick dining niches ranged around a gently trickling fountain. Though not a patch on homemade equivalents, the semi-sweet fesenjun (IR30,000) is ideally complemented by their acidic dugh (churned sour milk or yogurt mixed with water).

  9. Chelokababi Tavakol

    This would be the backpacker meeting place, if there were any backpackers. Excellent value Iranian food is served in an atmospheric once-grand old bathhouse that’s slightly gone-to-seed. Charming owner Ali Rahban looks somewhat like Dudley Moore, speaks good English and can rustle up eggplant delights for vegetarians. Head downstairs through white-framed doors with coloured glass panels.
