Street food Chelo Kebab — the authentic version

The best Chelo Kebab I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly bitter and complex intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. barberries was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

Iranian cuisine has a 3000-year recorded history with influences on Arab, Turkish, and Central Asian cooking. The a Tehran restaurant setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. hot black tea with sugar was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
