Pairing Ash Reshteh correctly — a note on rose water sharbat

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Ash Reshteh. I ordered it with rose water sharbat and the sweet-sour with pomegranate elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried limes in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the sofreh spread on the floor is the traditional Iranian dining setting. The a communal sofreh tablecloth feast is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Ash Reshteh with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
