We’re Not in Ryan Yet: But We’re Coming!

Persian cooking comes from Iran. Menus often feature rice dishes, grilled kebabs, slow-cooked herb stews and flatbread. Ask the restaurant what it specialises in and which dishes it recommends for first-timers.

Tahdig is the crisp layer of rice from the bottom of the pot. Some restaurants serve it as a side or with a stew. Ask whether it is on the menu and whether it is always available.

Some stews and rice dishes can be made without meat, but others use meat or meat stock. Ask how a dish is prepared before you order.

Nuts, such as pistachios and walnuts, and yoghurt appear in many dishes. Tell the restaurant about your allergy and ask how the dish is made; Pros Around does not hold menus or ingredients.

Ask the restaurant for its current menu, including platters for a group. Pros Around does not hold menus or prices, so check with the business.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
