Fesenjan

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…

I underestimated Fesenjan. The fragrant and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. dried limes brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Iranian cuisine has a 3000-year recorded history wi…

I spent an afternoon making Fesenjan from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting barberries right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks.

I made Fesenjan for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The fragrant and aromatic profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced fenugreek used that way before. the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iran…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Fesenjan well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The rich and saffron-gilded base was authentic and the use of barberries showed real knowledge. the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iranian dining setting. The atmo…

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. the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Ir…

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. the sofreh spread on t…
