Beautiful traditional atmosphere

Rouhi Restaurant (رستوران روحی)

This place only uses Rouhi dishes. These kind of dishes are so cheap and belong to past decades. They're not used now as much as in the past, this is what makes Rouhi restaurant a special place. Food quality is great here. Especially its kebabs. Rouhi has one of the most beautiful buildings in town and the music is so catchy here.
