Tehran Market weekend kebab grill

MarketLocal favourite

An Iranian mom-and-pop grocery where, on weekends, two grill cooks make kebabs over charcoal in the back parking lot for a crowd of locals. Visitors only see a corner market from the street. Get the koobideh tray with sangak bread, torshi and shirazi salad.
