Iran Culinary Tour Introduction

People travel for different reasons. Some find historical attractions interesting while some others are looking to relax on the beach or prefer shopping. However, some tourists mostly travel to learn new things and seek different classes to participate in. Local cooking classes are some of the most popular ones among tourists.

The Iranian cuisine is one of the most diverse and most appetizing cuisines in the world. It consists of a variety of mixed rice, stews, appetizers and also drinks and sweets. For this reason, many travelers believe tasting different Iranian dishes to be one of the highlights of their Iran trip. You can spice up your visit to Iran by taking an Iranian cooking class. This way you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about Persian cooking and prepare your own Iranian meal. During this Iran tour, you’ll have an Iranian culinary experience in the best way possible, learn a few delicious Iranian recipes and enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared for lunch. It’s obvious that you won’t become a professional Iranian chef in one day; however, you’ll be introduced to the main ingredients of a Persian dish and learn to mix them and cook them in new ways. Your Iranian culinary experience will be even more enjoyable as you’ll be hosted by a hospitable Iranian host in their home and have your lunch in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. After cooking your meal, you’ll enjoy it together while having a pleasant chat with the host. Your Iran culinary tour begins at Tajrish Bazaar, where you’ll buy all the ingredients you’ll need for your Iranian dishes. This way, you’ll get the chance to visit Tajrish Bazaar as well, since visiting traditional bazaars is a popular part of visiting another country. After purchasing everything that you need, you’ll begin your Persian cooking class. During this Iran tour, you’ll learn to prepare several Iranian main dishes, at least one appetizer, Iranian drinks including Sharbats and herbal teas and a special sweet for dessert.

Iran Culinary Tour Program

You will meet your host at 8:30 in the morning at your hotel lobby. Then you’ll head to Tajrish Square to meet the chef. Your chef will present you with a menu with photos and explain the ingredients. You can choose the Iranian dishes you want to cook from the menu or ask to prepare other ones if you have a list. You can also check out our most popular Iranian dishes article and choose some of the most delicious Persian dishes such as:

Ghormeh Sabzi
Fesenjan
Gheymeh
Loobia Polo

You will then buy high-quality ingredients from Tajrish Bazaar before heading to the host’s home.

Upon arrival at the house, you’ll prepare an Iranian cold drink called Sharbat to satisfy your thirst. Next, you’ll prepare the ingredients while the chef will provide you with instructions about cooking them as well as information about the origins of the Persian dishes and desserts you’ll be cooking. After preparing the meal, you’ll set the table the Iranian way and enjoy the meal that you’ve prepared as well as several Iranian appetizers, side dishes and drinks. Meanwhile, your Iranian dessert will be cooking in the oven. At last, you’ll have dessert with some Iranian herbal teas and have a chat with your host before saying goodbye and returning to your hotel.

Adventure of a Lifetime Been dreaming about visiting Iran and climbing my first 5 thousander for quite some time. I knew it was just a matter of time and finding the right people to help us turning our dream into reality. And then we found them: Cheetah Adventure team.First of all, thanks to Ali, the head of the team, who helped us with our visa and organised our trip. He was patient enough to answer all our questions prior the trip.Deep respect to Ashkan and Mehrdad our mountain guides. Without their tips and assistance our team wouldn't be able to summit Damavand (5610m) so easily. So even if you are an experienced hiker, do not attempt to climb this giant without these people. They do know the mountain, more than anyone.Thanks to Mohammad and Mehrdad who guided us in concrete jungles of Tehran and Isfahan. Showing us the most important and amazing sights, leading us through narrow passages in bazaars, introducing us the tastiest local dishes. Last but not least, I'm extremely grateful to our skillful and experienced drivers. They were life- savers, for sure.Going Back? Definitely! Iran has so much to offer! See you in Persian Gulf ... Let's see what's in the depth of the crystal clear waters...

CLIMB OF DAMAVAND AND 1-DAY TOUR IN TEHRAN CONTACTED CHEETAH ADVENTURES TO ORGANISE A GUIDED CLIMP OF MOUNT DAMAVAND, ON JUNE 2023. COMMUNICATION WAS EFFICIENT AND ORGANIZATION WAS VERY PROFFESSIONAL. VISA WAS ISSUED QUICKLY AND THE TRANSPORT / CLIMB SCHEDULE WAS AS AGREED. FRIENDLY PEOPLE, ADAPTABLE TO THE SITUATIONS , WITH THE RIGHT LEVEL OF FLEXIBILITY, AS AND WHEN NEEDED. LAST DAY WAS DEDICATED TO A WELL ORGANISED GUIDED TOUR OF TEHRAN. I WAS LEFT WITH VERY POSITIVE IMPRESSIONS. SPECIAL THANKS TO ALI (CHEETAH ADVENTURES CEO), ASHKAN (MY MOUNTAIN GUIDE) AND SABER (MY TEHRAN TOUR GUIDE). MAY GOD HELP AND PROTECT YOU ALL.

Best weekend in Iran We wanted to thank Ali and Mehdad for their hospitality, professionalism, loyalty to their work and awesome memories. First of all Ali helped us to get a visa in a matter of two days, which is crazy fast. Without getting any money in advance because there was a problem with transactions from our side. He did it based on pure trust. Then already in a country we accidentally left our passports in Teheran, cause of the hotel’s policy, they take your passport while you stay there, and after being checked out walking around in different city, we remembered about such a tiny thing like your passport being left out in another country, Ali helped to resolve this problem too. Which we were really grateful for. Besides all the views and all the history. It was top-notch. The most memorable trip abroad so far, thank you guys for everything. We’re hoping to come back and will try to repeat the adventure with you. Sorry for the delayed review. Hope to see you soon ???? Jane and Kseniia

I'm bringing a wonderful life from Persia! Thank you to our guides, and especially the drivers from Cheetah Adventures, for helping mountaineers from Serbia (PSK POBEDA), and at the same time tourists, to get to know beautiful Persia in 15 days.

Iranian culture trip Our trip to Iran could not have been better prepared and organized. My husband and I traveled with our 6 year old daughter for the last 3 weeks during a time of change in Iran. As part of our family has a US passport, we had great support by Ali to make sure our Visas are processed accordingly. It was not easy but it all worked out with Ali’s help.Ali and his guides Farid and Mousse took great care of us and were very knowledgeable about the history and places we visited. We did not feel as normal tourists on this trip but we were treated as friends and family throughout the entire time of our trip. The Iranian people are warm, welcoming and extremely friendly. They are proud of their heritage, their long world history and the normal people on the streets are just beautiful - inside out!Obviously, change is going to happen in Iran. We listened to the peoples stories, wishes, dreams and desires. They are all ready for the world to embrace them and take them in as equal partners and friends. Our heart is with the Iranian people.

Damavand 4 trek I had a pleasure to do 4-day Damavand trek with Ali. From the beginning we had good communication, everything was clear and on time. The equipement was provided and things well organised, the pace well adjusted. Ali is very experienced climber and helpful with sharing his knowledge about mountains and Iran itself, which made the whole expierience very natural and personal. Couldn't recommend it more

Persian beauty Thanks Ali, Mohammad, Mehrdad and Tannaz for being our friends and not ordinary tourist guides during our two weeks journey in Iran. Thanks for showing us the beauty of your country but more importantly for showing us the spirit and kindness of the Iranian people. A unique experience! Highly recommended!
