About Persian Cuisine

Bandar offers a truly diverse dining experience. Persian food is unique in that it has taken cues from many of Iran’s neighboring regions, including Turkey, Greece, and Russia. In turn, many countries also borrowed from Iran—India and Pakistan, to name a few. Many people are surprised and delighted to see ingredients and preparation methods similar to their home countries’ when they dine with us.

Rice, bread, and fresh fruits and vegetables are Persian cuisine essentials. There are hundreds of ways to prepare these staples, especially given the broad variety of flavorful spices our chefs use in the Bandar kitchen.

Additionally, because Persian food varies by region, many dishes feature signature combinations of meat and seafood. Not to worry, though—there are plenty of options for vegetarians, as well as those who do not eat gluten or prefer Halal ingredients. Learn more about our approach to fresh Iranian food here.
