Gilaneh Restaurant (Jordan)
رستوران گیلانه
A premier restaurant in Tehran to experience Caspian cuisine from Gilan Province, with sour kebab and smoked eggplant dip highly recommended
Located on Saba Boulevard, just off Jordan Boulevard, this restaurant specializes in the cuisine of Gilan Province in northern Iran, with an interior designed to mimic northern architectural styles. Popular orders include Kabab Torsh (sour kebab marinated with pomegranate and walnuts), Mirza Ghasemi (smoked eggplant dip), sour chicken stew, and Baghali Ghatogh (broad beans and dill with eggs), as well as grilled trout. The restaurant is small with limited seating and often has a wait, so reservations are recommended; some reviews note that reservations are not accepted on weekends. Prices are on the higher side of the listings, but locals consider them justified by the quality and portion sizes. Ideal for travelers wanting to try the sour and aromatic flavors of northern Iran.
