Restaurants in Rasht

  1. A

    Kourosh

    Kourosh wins no prizes for décor but offers numerous typical Gilani dishes including dill-rich bagilah qotoq, zeitun parvarden (olives in walnut paste) and garlic mast. On a good day the mirza ghasemi (mashed eggplant, squash, garlic, tomato and egg, served with bread or rice) can be superb but the fesenjun (chicken with walnuts) is rather tart.

    Bijan’s

    Soft Mediterranean music, sepia photos and displays of olive-oil bottles create a delightful atmosphere in this very un-Iranian Italian bistro where talented chef Bijan (trained in Sheffield rather than Sorrento) turns out scrumptious pastas served with huge bowls of Parmesan.

    Kumeh

    The most interesting of a huddle of restaurants in the Park-e-Shahr area, Kumeh has Irano- Hawaiian covered dining platforms outside. Inside is more standard but sharing a post-prandial qalyan here is an ideal way to meet friendly regulars.

    Boof

    This big, fast-food outlet has a grey-and-neon battleship interior and is worth visiting if only for the futuristic titanium column sinks in the toilets.

    Restaurant Tak

    Three floors of comparatively upmarket dining with Gilani options including torshe tareh, a citrusy dish of local sorrel and egg.

  6. F

    Pizza Pizza

    Comparatively pricey but unusual in having female wait-staff and a children’s play area. Order downstairs; menu in English.

  7. G

    Saeed Coffee Shop

    Gently stylish café serving good strong espressos. There’s a billiard hall and decent pizzeria in the same block.

    BFC

    An amusingly blatant Kentucky takeoff.
