Gilane whisked me away to Northern Iran with its unique Gilaki cuisine and warm Persian atmosphere.
The restaurant boasts one beautifully decorated private room, perfect for family gatherings, but also cleverly adaptable for shared dining. The entire space is adorned with gorgeous Persian art and filled with enchanting traditional music that truly sets the mood.
The staff were both attentive and friendly, adding to the lively ambience. For my meal, I ventured beyond the usual and dove into the "Morghe Torsh." This delicious stew featured tender chicken nestled amongst a symphony of vegetables, walnuts, and dried barberries, all bathed in a delightfully light and tangy sauce. The accompanying "Tahdig" was a revelation - fluffy white rice cooked in a small pot, resulting in a crispy, golden brown bottom layer known as "Tahdig." The combination of textures and flavors was simply divine!
Highly recommend Gilane for a taste of authentic Northern Iranian cuisine in a beautiful and...
Read moreMy family and I order from Gilnaeh Restaurant very regularly, at least 2-4 times per week. The taste and quality of the food is good. The quality of service is terrible, it is simply awful. We normally order either by phone directly from Gilaneh or through food delivery applications. Our order is always delayed by at least 30 to 60 minutes.

The worst part is that neither the restaurant nor the food delivery company took responsibility for...
Read moreWe had 3 dishes for the table. Two of the stews were extremely sour to the extent that we could not eat any of the them. (I love sour foods and I love lavashak anar, but this sourness was very acidic and not tasting good at all). We also had Kabab Torsh, which was the worst Kabab Torsh I ever had. Having said that, their rude and ignorant staff is the main reason I am writing this review. I waited 4 months to write the review so I can rethink and be fair. But after reviewing my experience again, I believe the waiter was very rude (nothing even close to the lowest standards of a professional waiter) and then the management staff were extremely ignorant about our very friendly feedback about the server. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant and there are plenty of better restaurants in Tehran which you can try all sort of...
