Jarchibashi Restaurant — Restaurant in Isfahan

Undoubtedly, the setting in an old bathhouse gives this restaurant a special flair and ambience, but unfortunately, this was the only positive aspect of our visit. You might be able to have an enjoyable dinner here if you are looking for a common meat-heavy meal, but if you have dietary restrictions, better stay away. None of the staff spoke even the most basic English, so we pointed at the menu and made ourselves understood with a few Farsi words - or so we thought. The dishes we received still included ingredients we asked to be omitted, rendering them inedible for us, and were generally of disappointing quality. Food seemed to have been prepared and plated hours in advance - which explains why the requested modifications weren't made I guess. Even apart from that, the salad was wilting, vegetables bland and apparently from the freezer and beans from cans, a rice dish that was supposed to have beans didn't have a trace of them... We spared ourselves the frustration of even trying to bring these issues up to the waiter, paid the bill (it turned out the be the most expensive dinner of our trip!), with the cashier rounding the sum in her favour and only giving the correct amount of change upon explicit...

We got free tea (haha) and soon after left the place but not without filling out a “complaint form”. I dont know what the people ate who write positive reviews here.... I forgot to mention that even though their menu was quite large, they didn’t have 5 major...

After a long day of driving, I went to this restaurant as it had been recommended by a friend. I got there a little bit before 7.30 pm and they didn't let me in and instead they put a chair in front of the door to wait. Not a very warm welcome! I ordered the food and after something about 40 minutes a sheeshlik was brought to me. as for the price, I predicted that I would have a very delicious meal, but to my disappointment, the food didn't weigh more than 100-110 grams. It tasted too much salty which showed the low quality of food. If you want to enjoy your food and not the architecture, this place is not a...
