Tahdig

Some dishes exist to comfort and Tahdig is absolutely in that category.

I had never tried Tahdig before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The subtly bitter and complex taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. dried limes is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

I first ate Tahdig on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the sweet-sour with pomegranate quality I remembered. barberries was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. the sofreh spread on…
