An elegant Persian stew of chicken simmered in a rich sauce of ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses. Sweet, tart, and utterly unique.
Fesenjan (also spelled Fesenjoon) is one of the most celebrated dishes in Persian cuisine, known for its unique and complex flavor profile. This elegant stew features chicken slow-cooked in a rich, velvety sauce made from ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses. The result is a dish that's simultaneously sweet, tart, and savory – a flavor combination unlike anything else in world cuisine. The walnuts provide a creamy, nutty richness, while the pomegranate molasses adds a beautiful tang and slight sweetness. As the stew simmers, the sauce reduces and thickens into a luxurious consistency that coats the tender chicken pieces perfectly. Traditionally served over rice, Fesenjan is often reserved for special occasions and celebrations.
Our Fesenjan is made following traditional methods that have been refined over generations. We use premium walnuts, ground to just the right consistency, and authentic pomegranate molasses for that perfect balance of sweet and sour. The chicken is cooked until it's tender and infused with the rich sauce. This is a dish that showcases the sophisticated side of Persian cooking – complex, refined, and absolutely memorable. If you're looking to try something truly unique, Fesenjan is an experience you won't forget.

"The best Fesenjan I've ever had in Edmonton! Perfectly creamy with just the right balance of spices. I order this at least once a week and it's consistently excellent. The chicken is always tender and the sauce is rich without being too heavy."
