Shahrzad Restaurant
رستوران شهرزاد
A legendary Isfahan restaurant opened in the 1960s, serving local dishes in a grand hall adorned with stained glass and mirrors
Located on Abbas Abad Street, just off Chaharbagh Abbasi Street, near the Si-o-se-pol Bridge and Enghelab Metro Station, this restaurant is situated on the second floor and has no other branches. Operating since the 1960s, the dining hall is filled with stained glass, mirrors, and paintings, often described as looking like an art gallery. Signature dishes include Baghali Polo (broad bean rice) with lamb shank, Khoresht-e Mast (yogurt stew), Beryani, and Tahchin. Expect long waits during lunch on holidays. There is no dedicated parking lot, so taking the metro is recommended. Prices are mid-to-high, with a meal costing around 1.1–1.4 million tomans.
