Oldest and best Persian restaurant in Amsterdam This is the sort of mixed grill you can expect in Amsterdam's oldest and best Persian restaurant. We tried a number of their starters, ranging from dips to salads to an egg omelette with loads of greens, everything was packed full of flavour and freshness, delicious! We also tried their special mocktails, that rose one was very much my cup of tea, loved it! We then went straight into our mains. Firstly, can I just say this rice looked divine but actually tasted even better if you can imagine that, all about those cranberries and saffron! Now this lamb shank will live in my mind rent free for life, the meat was so tender, it literally fell off the bone and melted in my mouth, loved the roast garlic that came with it as well. We also tried a traditional dish of lamb meat in tomato sauce with aubergine, and then for dessert, we had a saffron infused ice cream and baklava, this was an exceptional dining experience and I highly recommend you give @aardigepers.nl for a truly authentic Persian dining experience. #persianrestaurant #amsterdamrestaurant #persianfood #persiancuisine #foodblog #foodcontent #food #foodporn
