Shahriar Restaurant

Top choice in Tabriz


There are several interesting rooms in this converted subterranean 19th-century bathhouse, though the qalyan-wafting chaykhaneh (teahouse) is the most exotic. The other, larger room, popular with groups, is a restaurant (meals from IR200,000) with tables and chairs as well as carpeted booths; it does very good dizi and kababs.
