Khan Traditional Restaurant — Restaurant in Isfahan

I visited Khan Traditional Restaurant hoping for a genuine cultural experience, but instead encountered deliberate dishonesty and exploitation. They brought several dishes to our table without us ordering them, then tried to charge us for everything. When we objected, they pretended not to understand English — yet somehow had no issue discussing prices when it came time to pay.

This is not a simple misunderstanding. It’s a calculated trick targeting tourists, banking on confusion and language barriers to squeeze out more money.

What’s even more disappointing is that this behavior goes completely against the values of true hospitality — and of Islam, which teaches honesty, respect for guests, and integrity. No real Muslim would deceive a guest this way. It's shameful and disheartening.

Avoid this place. There are many restaurants in Isfahan that are honest, kind, and welcoming — this is not one of them.

من به رستوران سنتی خان رفتم با این امید که تجربه‌ای اصیل و فرهنگی داشته باشم، اما با بی‌صداقتی و سوءاستفاده‌ی عمدی روبرو شدم. چندین غذای مختلف بدون اینکه سفارش داده باشم برایمان آوردند و بعد خواستند هزینه‌ی همه را حساب کنند. وقتی اعتراض کردیم، وانمود کردند که انگلیسی بلد نیستند – اما موقع گرفتن پول، مشکلی در صحبت کردن نداشتند!

این یک سوءتفاهم ساده نیست. این یک ترفند حساب‌شده است برای فریب گردشگران و سوءاستفاده از ناآگاهی و تفاوت زبانی.

از همه بدتر اینکه این رفتار کاملاً برخلاف ارزش‌های مهمان‌نوازی واقعی – و برخلاف تعالیم اسلام است. اسلام بر صداقت، احترام به مهمان و درستکاری تأکید دارد. هیچ مسلمان واقعی‌ای مهمان خود را این‌طور فریب نمی‌دهد. این کار شرم‌آور و ناراحت‌کننده است.

از این رستوران دوری کنید. در اصفهان رستوران‌های زیادی هستند که با صداقت و مهربانی از مهمانان استقبال می‌کنند – اما این‌جا یکی...

We came here based on the advice of our hostel. The place is attended mainly by locals and in both the time we came it was almost full (that doesn't often happen to restaurants in Iran). The food is super good and the owner (an old man who lived in the US 45 years ago) is super nice and tries to help you in any possible way. They have menu in...

I had an amazing Iranian dish called "Dizi" here. The owner showed me the right way to eat it and it was super tasty. Everyone in the restaurant was nice and it was fun talking to the elderly owner. Mostly local people eat here so it was authentic vibe and also they have wifi :)...
