Iran's national dish – a hearty stew of herbs, kidney beans, dried lime, and tender beef, slow-cooked to perfection. A true taste of Persian home cooking.
Ghormeh Sabzi is widely considered Iran's national dish and represents the heart of Persian home cooking. This complex, aromatic stew features a base of finely chopped fresh herbs – primarily parsley, cilantro, and fenugreek – slow-cooked with tender chunks of beef, red kidney beans, and dried Persian limes (limoo omani). The dried limes are what give this dish its distinctive tangy, slightly bitter flavor that balances the richness of the meat and the earthiness of the herbs. The stew simmers for hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together into something truly extraordinary. Served over fluffy basmati rice, Ghormeh Sabzi is comfort food that tells the story of Persian culinary tradition.
Our version of Ghormeh Sabzi stays true to traditional recipes passed down through generations. We use an abundance of fresh herbs, sourced specially for their quality and flavor. The beef is slow-braised until it's fall-apart tender, and the kidney beans add a creamy texture that complements the herbs perfectly. The dried limes provide that essential tangy note that makes this dish so addictive. This is the kind of dish that warms your soul and keeps you coming back for more – a true taste of Persian home cooking.

"The best Ghormeh Sabzi 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."
