Takht e Tavoos
Takht-e Tavoos refers to the Peacock Throne of the Persian realm. Tavoos is a continuation of Pomegranate and Sheherzade Restaurants yet focuses on breakfast dishes and other delicacies honouring foods from various regions of Iran.
Some of our specialities include
Guisavah
From Ardebil, two Sunnyside up eggs (or scrambled) cooked on a bed of butter-sautéed chopped dates, dried apricots and walnuts topped with nigella seeds, served with feta cheese
Paneer Boroshteh
Two sunnyside up eggs cooked over fresh halloumi cheese and garlic, sautéed in butter topped with nigella seeds, served with marinated olives, tomatoes, smoked salmon, herbs and potatoes, from Port Anzali
Haleem
A bowl of steaming porridge made from wheat berries, with shredded pieces of pounded lamb, topped with melted butter, sugar and a blend of seven fragrant spices. Served with toasted Barbary bread and a glass of Persian chai; it is considered the finest winter breakfast but is delicious all year long!
Dizi
Prepared and served in stone pots called ‘Dizi’; this is a stew of lamb shank, lamb rib, chickpeas, white
beans, potato, onion, tomato and spices cooked for over 4 hours. Dizi forms a complete 2-course meal:
first the broth is carefully drained from the pot into a soup bowl. The broth is sipped as a soup and often
soaked with torn pieces of flatbread in a style called tareed (the slang version is tileet). The meat and
the beans are then pounded into a coarse puree to be scooped up with flatbread and eaten with fresh
scallions and torshi.
