(Northern Iran Cuisine)

Gilan, one of the northern provinces of Iran, is well-known for its warm hospitality & its delicious cuisine (UNESCO accredited). To find the Authentic taste however, one needs to travel (let’s say from Tehran the big bad capital) past the smoky Alborz mountains, up & down the zig zag roads, through the greenery of the rice & tea fields, to reach Rasht (Capital of the Gilan Province), & it is only then that the real challenge begins,  you need to know which one or two restaurants to go to in order to experience the authentic Gilani cuisine. As we believe that the true Gilani dishes are being made & served inside people’s houses, the old recipes going from generation to generation. The same way we are now serving these dishes. Originally born and raised in Tehran for a couple of generations, we shouldn’t have any business tackling Gilani cuisine, however, with our roots deep in Rasht (great-grandparents) we all grew up with Baghali Ghatogh, Vavishka, Zeytoon parvardeh, Morghe torsh etc… And after years of trial and error, working on these generational recipes, we can confidently say that we are offering something extraordinary, Gilan’s cuisine, for the first time, in Melbourne, Australia!
