From the Caspian shores of Gilan
A table set the
northern way
Lahijan is a city of tea gardens and rice paddies in Gilan, the lush province where Iran meets the Caspian Sea. Its kitchens are unlike anywhere else in the country — sour, herbal and fragrant, built on walnuts, pomegranate, garlic, dill and rice steamed the Gilani way, soft and separate-grained, called kateh.
At Lahijan Restaurant on Bayview, those recipes are cooked the way they are at home: kebabs over open flame, stews simmered low and slow, and breakfast served from eight every morning — including kaleh pacheh and halim for those who start the day the traditional way.
