Isfahan is located on the main north-south and east-west routes crossing Iran, and was once one of the largest cities in the world. It flourished from 1050 to 1722, particularly in the 16th century under the Safavid dynasty, when it became the capital of Persia for the second time in its history. Even today, the city retains much of its past glory. It is famous for its Islamic architecture, with many beautiful boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques, and minarets. This led to the Persian proverb "'Esfahān nesf-e jahān ast" (Isfahan is half of the world).

Ispahan este situat în centrul Iranului, în mijlocul platoului iranian, la 1.574 m altitudine. Prin această zonă trece lan ul mun ilor ț țZagros, care o traversează de la nord-vest spre sud-est.

The restaurants have traditional seating, an elevated table that has a Persian rug on it and traditional rug covered large pillows. You have to take your shoes off before climbing onto this sort of bed table. They bring tea and sweets, followed by freshly made bread and a sour tasting yogurt as well as plates of green herbs and olives. The waiter will cover the rug with a plastic that will be under the food. They usually serve rice with beef, chicken, steak kabobs as well as lamb chops called Shishleek. The kabobs are always served with grilled tomatoes and fresh onions. After dinner, we would usually order a sheesha and have more hot tea. They usually play Persian music and create quite a lively atmosphere. There are many families at these restaurants as well as young couples and groups of teenage friends that get together to smoke sheesha and drink hot tea. With the hot tea, they usually bring sticks of saffron sugar, Nabat, as well as dates covered with sprinkles of coconut.

In restaurantele tradiţionale un covor persan şi perne mari sunt aşezate pe o platformă ca un pat, pe care te sui după ce te descalţi. Se aseaşă o folie de plastic peste covor, pe care se aduce mâncarea: ceai şi dulciuri, urmate de pâine (lipii) proaspătă şi un iaurt acrişor, frunze proaspete şi masline. Garnitura obişnuită este orez, carnea de vită, pui, cotlete de miel (Shishleek) sau kebab cu roşii fripte şi ceapă proaspătă.După masă se bea ceai fierbinte cu zahăr cu şofran (nabat) şi curmale acoperite cu nucă de cocos rasă.
