Are you a food aficionado and looking for authentic Iranian cuisine? this Irani restaurant is your place to go in Islamabad. It has a very cozy and old-school ambiance that transports you from Pakistan to Iran.<\/p>\n

The food is amazing with lots of options to satisfy your foodie cravings… Let’s check it out!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oldest and only Iranian restaurant in town!<\/h3>\n

Omar Khayyam Is the only place not just in the twin cities but across the country where you can enjoy authentic “Chelo Kabab” the National dish of Iran, in a peaceful environment with strong Undertones of Persian Culture. Named after the Persian poet and mystic, Omar Khayyam.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The game plan is simple… Chelo kebabs…Order #13 on the menu with some torshi and achieve nirvana!<\/h3>\n

The Highlight of the menu is the juicy Chelo kebab served on a large portion of savory Iranian rice topped with a dash of butter, squeeze some lemon juice, and enjoy a bite of pure Iranian delight!<\/p>\n

An honorable mention would be the lamb chops! medium rare and dripping with meat juices, I wish they could increase their serving size though because each time I’m left licking my fingers.<\/p>\n

p.s don’t forget to dip to the side of fries in the lamb sauce. Best combo ever!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The list doesn’t end here…<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s also a range of soups, dips, stews, and desserts on offer as well. But the Iranian tea is something you can’t ignore, it completes your meal with its sweet and spicy aroma.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A diamond in the rough!<\/h3>\n

Tucked away in a basement in Blue Area, Islamabad. It is one of the oldest restaurants of the twin cities, established in 1988! the traditional decor gives the restaurant an old-world charm. Moreover, the restaurant is owned by a sweet Iranian family whose hospitable behavior really warms your heart. Now it has been passed on to their son, who is very enthusiastic to keep the family business alive.<\/p>\n
