Visit Tehran Foothills

Some Tehrani people spend their weekend, Thursdays and Fridays, at the foothills of Tehran. There are several mountain tracking and hiking pathways where people go for exercising and spending a sportive weekend. When you visit Tehran and happen to be there during weekend, remember to pay a visit to Darband area, which is one of the most popular pathways with lots of restaurants in it.

Many who don’t want to go hiking, take their lunch or dinner in some of Darband restaurants to enjoy their traditional Iranian meals in a pleasing setting where the temperature is cooler, pollution doesn’t exist, sound of running water is heard form the river and shady outdoor tables invite you to dine.

Also, before you get to the restaurant area, you will see plenty of shops and stalls selling local fresh fruits like walnuts, berries, fruit leather, etc. You smell barbecued liver and kebab, people smoking water pipe with aromatic fragrance, etc. During all of your Iran travel excursion, you will notice that this is a young country with 70% of the people under the age of 30. So, don’t be surprised if you see flocks of young people hanging out in Darband and having good time over there.

Darband Restaurants of Tehran

You get to see a handful of eating places in Tehran during your tour, but you will see a different sort of them here. The style of some restaurants will remind you of Spanish buildings. You smell kebab everywhere. Tables and chairs are set outdoor on the restaurant courtyards under table umbrellas or inside their halls with some salad table waiting either for the guests to serve themselves or for the waiters to refill the dishes.

Iran travel seasons are the times when tourists will not feel extreme hot or cold days. So, if you visit Tehran during Spring or Fall when the weather is agreeable, Darband restaurants are very appealing to the visitors. For local people, even harsh cold of the winter cannot stop anyone from enjoying a meal in this area. As tourists, you will have no problem to have a meal even outdoor using the heated facilities installed for the convenience of the dinners.
