'sabzi (assorted fresh herbs with cheese), which is a must-accompany for any meal. And I wish we’d had room for tahdig, their terrific meaty dolmeh, and some torshi. Weaknesses at Javan: the olivieh (chicken) salad—but...

and the sauce was a wonderful tart compliment to the sweet. Pickles (Torshi) chopped pickles and some peppers in a variety of color and spice. A very attractive dish and most pleasant to Steve. I don’t like pickles, but even...

an interesting torshi, a dryish mix of finely chopped eggplant, carrot, celery, and other things. Extremely sour, a little goes a long way. I haven’t yet tried too many of the bakery items. From what I can tell, the Kedzie...
