100 Hours in Tehran: A Persian Food Tour

Editor's Take

Extending the same 100-hour format to Tehran, this entry makes the case for an Iranian capital that outsiders rarely associate with great food. It works through Persian staples such as ghormeh sabzi, tahdig, and kebab while taking in the culture of a very old city. The approach is first-person and appetite-driven, closer to travel companionship than reportage. It is most persuasive when correcting the low expectations it names.

This feature-length food adventure spends 100 hours in Tehran, exploring the extraordinary and underrated cuisine of Iran's capital. It samples Persian classics like ghormeh sabzi, tahdig, and kebabs while soaking up the culture of one of civilization's oldest cities. The journey reveals a food scene far richer than most outsiders expect. Warm and appetizing, it is a deep dive into Persian food. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
