Lonely Planet

"The dizi (stew) and kashk-e bademjan (eggplant fried and mashed and served with thick whey and mint) are justly popular."

Matin Lashkari

"You’d find a ton of places when you could try it but Azari restaurant near Tehran’s railway station has been serving it for decades and knows the trick. Not to mention the atmosphere is also a bonus point."

Shaahin Pishbin

"With a reputation for some of the best abgoosht – a traditional meat and chickpea stew – in town, and regular live performances of traditional music, you will usually be well-rewarded for venturing this far south."
