Persepolis Persian Restaurant | St. John’s Hidden Jewel

🌹 Persepolis Persian Restaurant | St. John’s Hidden Jewel 📍 First Impressions A cozy, family-run spot tucked away in a fishing village, where Persian flavors meet Atlantic hospitality: • Decor: Hand-painted tiles + flickering lanterns • Smell: Saffron + slow-cooked lamb • Soundtrack: Soft Persian music (but not too loud—perfect for conversation) Pro Tip: Ask for the "window seat" – overlooks the harbor! 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes 1. Chelo Kabab Koobideh ($22) 🇮🇷 • What It Is: Juicy minced lamb kebabs + saffron basmati rice • Secret: The meat is marinated for 24 hours in onion + sumac • Best Bite: Rice + grilled tomato + yogurt dip 2. Ghormeh Sabzi ($18) 🌿 • Herb Stew: Parsley, cilantro, fenugreek + tender beef • Hidden Gem: Comes with tahdig (crispy rice crust) • Pair With: Doogh (Persian yogurt drink) 3. Baklava ($8) 🍯 • Layers: Walnuts + rosewater syrup + flaky pastry • Perfect End: Served with cardamom tea 📊 Why It Stands Out Feature Persepolis Typical NL Eats Spices Rich, aromatic Simple salt/pepper Portions Generous Often small Vegetarian Options 5+ dishes Limited Winner: Best for flavor adventurers 💡 Insider Tips 1. Order Like a Local: • "Extra tahdig" (they’ll give you more crispy rice) • "Spicy?" = Ask for zereshk (barberries) on top 2. Timing: • Lunch: Cheaper + quieter • Dinner: More dishes available (like fesenjan) 3. Parking: Free on side streets after 6pm Next Visit Goals: • Zeytoon Parvardeh (marinated olives) • Saffron Ice Cream (weekends only) PersianFood #StJohnsEats #HiddenGems
