Holiday memory — Khoresh Bademjan that transported me back

I first ate Khoresh Bademjan on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the sweet-sour with pomegranate quality I remembered. pomegranate molasses was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iranian dining setting. It was the a Persian New Year nowruz celebration memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. doogh yoghurt drink was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
