Alborz is one of Tehran’s most famous traditional restaurants, a long-standing favourite on Valiasr Street celebrated for its classic Persian cuisine. Diners come for expertly grilled kababs, saffron rice, stews such as ghormeh sabzi and fesenjan, and other hearty Iranian dishes served in generous portions. Popular with locals and often busy, its dependable quality and authentic flavours have made it a Tehran institution and an excellent place for visitors to sample the staples of Persian home-style cooking.
