Before you head over

Practical advice on portions, seating choices, and ordering traditional dishes

  • Expect Very Generous Share Portions

    Platters and trays are notably oversized—a platter designed for two or four often feeds additional people, so order conservatively or plan to take leftovers home.

  • Choose Between Takht Platforms or Regular Tables

    Experience floor-style dining on raised carpeted takht platforms, or choose conventional dining tables and chairs if standard seating is preferred.

  • Ask Staff for Dining Guidance on Traditional Dishes

    If you are unfamiliar with traditional dishes like stews or Dizi, the staff are happy to explain and demonstrate authentic dining rituals at the table.
