Best Fesenjan I've had — and I've tried a few
Having eaten Fesenjan at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The sweet-sour with pomegranate quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. fenugreek is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.
This is proper a traditional I…

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.

Decent Fesenjan — nothing more, nothing less
Fesenjan at this place was fine. The rich and saffron-gilded flavour was there but not distinguished. pomegranate molasses was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

I first ate Fesenjan on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the rich and saffron-gilded quality I remembered. barberries was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Finding the best Fesenjan in the city — a personal search
I spent three months trying every version of Fesenjan I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled dried limes with genuine knowledge and the sweet-sour with pomegranate result was noticeably superior.
