Every tourist visiting Tehran must have a walk through Darband. Perfect venue for a casual stroll on a hot summer night. Visitors and locals alike are constantly approached by local street vendors and restaurant hosts to have a taste of their snacks and /or drop by for a meal. One prominently located restaurant is Koohpaye, with it's red table cloths and servers in suits and ties; but the glory stops here, take a look from outside, maybe have a few selfies, but if you are looking for good food, good service and don't want to be ripped off, move on and take a chance on one of dozens of other restaurants around.

Prices were unreasonably high with no quality at all. Old: I used to go to this restaurant with my husband, last weekend on 31 july 2020, I went there again to have a lunch and celebrate my birthday. Comparing with past, the food was awful. When the waiter served main dish, it was cold. Shishlik kebab had the worst taste I've ever taken. Salad also was like a disaster. The season salad had only 4 pieces of cucumber as well as 2 pieces of tomato cut badly. Sauce was tasteless. I mean It was bland.To be honest it won't be my choice in the future any more. Last but not least the menu was not complete and many of foods...
