Restaurante Esfahan — Restaurant in Madrid

I went with my Iranian friend. We ordered, Kashk Bademjoon, gheyme bademjoon, fesenjoon, and Zoolbia. Kashk bademjoon is like a dip that serves as a starter and it was really nice, it’s a specific taste that you cannot find in other cuisines. Gheyme bademjoon is a beef stew that should be served with rice, but it’s not included and you have to pay for it separately, however the taste was great. Fesenjoon is also a stew which is cooked differently in different regions in Iran, sour, neutral and sweet, this was the sour one.

Not the first time I’ve tried Iranian cuisine and it won’t be the last, I...
