Honest verdict on Fesenjan — good but not exceptional

Fesenjan here was solidly made — fragrant and aromatic without anything to complain about. saffron was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Iranian cuisine has a 3000-year recorded history with influences on Arab, Turkish, and Central Asian cooking. The a communal sofreh tablecloth feast atmosphere was pleasant enough. doogh yoghurt drink was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Fesenjan this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
