Babaghodrat

Top choice in Mashhad


Part of an impressive cultural complex, this memorable restaurant serves kababs, trout and huge bowls of mirza ghasemi (IR160,000) within the spacious brick vaults of a Qajar-era caravanserai. It's around 10 minutes' walk from the southeast end of the Reza covered bazaar.
