Best Eats in Tehran

Best eats while in Tehran, you ask?

There are lots, but to keep you on the main road and oriented, let me first recommend the Armenian Club. It's a Christian establishment, and well respected, so you can go and hang out with ease in the company of your girl, if a girl is your preference, as it is mine. You can find it at 68 Khark Street just a couple of blocks from the Italian embassy. It looks private, with the yellow awning, but just knock on the door and someone will be with you. Muslims can not enter, though more than occasionally they will. They like good eats as well.

You can bring your own beer or other drink, but as for where to get it in order to bring it, that is another story. I recommend the grilled sturgeon or various kebabs, ranging all the way to hot and spicy in a Mexican sense of the word.

What is your phav favorite while in Tehran? Perhaps you have found a great little hideaway while on business or travel that the rest of us have not discovered.

Glad you're there. Stay there, asswipe.

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens to carefully consider the risks of travel to Iran. Dual national Iranian-American citizens may encounter difficulty in departing Iran. U.S. citizens should stay current with media coverage of local events and carefully consider nonessential travel. This Travel Warning updates without change the Travel Warning for Iran issued May 24, 2013.

Some elements in Iran remain hostile to the United States. As a result, U.S. citizens may be subject to harassment or arrest while traveling or residing in Iran. Since 2009, Iranian authorities have prevented the departure, in some cases for several months, of a number of Iranian-American citizens, including journalists and academics, who traveled to Iran for personal or professional reasons. Iranian authorities also have unjustly detained or imprisoned U.S. citizens on various charges, including espionage and posing a threat to national security. U.S. citizens of Iranian origin should consider the risk of being targeted by authorities before planning travel to Iran. Iranian authorities deny the U.S. Interests Section in Tehran access to imprisoned dual national Iranian-American citizens because Iranian authorities consider them to be solely Iranian citizens; access to U.S. citizens without dual nationality is often denied as well.

The Iranian government continues to repress some minority religious and ethnic groups, including Christians, Baha'i, Arabs, Kurds, Azeris, and others. Consequently, some areas within the country where these minorities reside, including the Baluchistan border area near Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Kurdish northwest of the country, and areas near the Iraqi border, remain unsafe. Iranian authorities have detained and harassed U.S. citizens of Iranian origin. Former Muslims who have converted to other religions, religious activists, and persons who encourage Muslims to convert are subject to arrest and prosecution.

The U.S. government does not have diplomatic or consular relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and therefore cannot provide protection or routine consular services to U.S. citizens in Iran. The Swiss government, acting through its Embassy in Tehran, serves as protecting power for U.S. interests in Iran. The range of consular services provided by the U.S. Interests Section at the Swiss Embassy is limited and may require significantly more processing time than at U.S. Embassies or Consulates. The Iranian government does not recognize dual citizenship and will not allow the Swiss to provide protective services for U.S. citizens who are also Iranian nationals.

Our ability to assist U.S. citizens in Iran in the event of an emergency is extremely limited. U.S. citizens in Iran should ensure that they have updated documentation at all times and make their own plans in the event of an emergency. For more information, see "What the Department of State Can and Can't Do in a Crisis" at the Department's website. U.S. citizens who travel or reside in Iran are strongly encouraged to enroll in the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. U.S. citizens may also enroll in person at the U.S. Interests Section at the Swiss Embassy, located at No. 39, Shahid Mousavi (Golestan 5th), Pasdaran, Tehran. The telephone numbers for the U.S. Interests Section are ( 98)(21)2279-3912, ( 98)(21)2279-3697,( 98)(21) 2254-2178, and ( 98)(21) 2256-5273, fax ( 98)(21) 2258-0432, email: [email protected], website: Embassy Tehran.

U.S. citizens should also review the Department of State's Country Specific Information for Iran and stay up to date by bookmarking the Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which contains the current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well as the Worldwide Caution. You may follow us on Twitter and the Bureau of Consular Affairs page on Facebook as well; however, both Twitter and Facebook are filtered in Iran and will not be accessible without a virtual private network (VPN). If you don't have internet access, current information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada or, for callers from other countries, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).

Asswipe? That is rather curt for a restaurant review under a section about Iran. Besides, you don't know me well enough to make that assessment, especially when the same government you quote sends me that information on a weekly, if not more, basis as part of the STEP program.

Don't listen to everything you hear. American and European governments and companies do a lot of business in Iran, despite news to the contrary, and those of us that do work for them need to eat somewhere.

I doubt there are many people reading this forum who are going to run over to Tehran for a meal. Since you are the restaurant reviewer, how about listing the good Iranian restaurants outside of Iran. You an start with the U.S. since the Iranian population is very large. No doubt with around 500,000 native born Iranians and their children born here, there must be loads of restaurants in Southern California that you can recommend.

Because this is the section about Iran. I wanted to contribute here. People who visit there need to eat as well.

That's true, but there are many people who would like to go back to Iran for a visit, such as those wanting to pay respect to a beloved parent in a cemetery, but yet are afraid to do so. An ex Iranian who once worked in the petroleum industr told me that he used to own an apartment building which catered to foreigners like you are talking about. Naturally he had to leave his property behind when he fled Iran.
