My road trip south through the beautiful country of Iran continued in Kashan, a city known for its rose water! Come with me as we try some incredible Iranian rose cuisine in Kashan, Iran!
My friend Mr. Taster and I started at a large mud hotel with a restaurant. The restaurant is called Mirrors Hall. It has a mirrored ceiling and holds ceremonies and special rituals. It was built in the 18th century, but the tourism organization took it over in 2000.

We started with a garlic yogurt called mast-o musir with shaved mint and shaved rose petals on top. We also had two other dishes and a salad with cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, pomegranate dressing, and croutons.
We also had three different drinks, including a cucumber water and tokhm-e sharbatie, which contains rose water and chia seeds! The cucumber water was great, and the tokhm-e sharbatie was so cool and refreshing!
Rose season is late April and early May, so I suggest coming to Kashan then so you can try lots of fresh rose dishes and drinks. We also had some crispy bread, which you dip into the mast-o musir.
Mr. Taster fed me a bit of it. It was amazing! I loved how crunchy it was. The rose and mint worked so well together! We also had a crispy rice dish called tahdig, beans with lamb, and some meatballs with sumac. He poured the beans with lamb over the tahdig.
It looked unbelievable, and it was an incredible flavor sensation. The combination of lamb, beans, rice, and dill blew me away! The lamb was so tender, it melted in my mouth. I also loved the crispy layer of rice on the bottom of the tahdig. It was crispy on the top and the bottom!
Next was a yogurt dish with cucumber, mint, raisins, and shaved rose petals. It reminded me a bit of tzatziki. Mixing a bit with the rice was excellent. Next was the lamb meatballs on the tahdig.
I’d never had meatballs like these! The gravy contained mint, but also had some sourness from the sumac. It ws unbelievable!
After we finished eating, we visited a nearby antique shop called Ganjineh selling bowls, pottery, old telephones and televisions, as well as some cute little modern mirrors. They also had some beautiful antique ceramics.
Then, we drove about 30 minutes and left the city to get to the rose water factory. On the way, we passed a few vendors selling spices and dried lemons. Then, we reached the spot and found a spot covered in tons of rose petals! My friends even buried me in rose petals!
I even put on a crown of rose petals and tried a glass of fresh rose water. It was so refreshing. It really is the best water on Earth!
Next, we saw where they distill the rose water, and where the vapor goes through to create rose water. In the back of the village, we headed into a house that smelled like roses. Back there, they’d shaped rose petals in the shape of a heart!
Back outside, I tried a nutty, crumbly cake. Then, they showed me another cake called the 4 nut concoction that contains saffron, sesame, coconut, pistachios, almonds, rose, and more. It also has four layers and has all the nuts and rose petals arranged in concentric circles.
They had several different cakes. They were so dense and sweet. I loved the almonds, walnuts, sesame, dates, and pistachios on it. It was so decadent!
Next, we headed to a nearby waterfall. It was really beautiful and a breezy evening. But now it was time to get back to the factory to see them finish up the latest batch of rose water.
What an amazing day in Kashan, Iran!

I traveled there when I was a child and almost all of those places smelled of flowers, it was a really good smell and with that glass of rose water you can really make delicious homemade drinks I can boldly say that Iran has the best food in the world and I actually i live in Germany and I have eaten food from many places, but without exaggeration being Iranian is very proud💪🏽❤️🧬

[@JudyT868]

First of all, another amazing video. Secondly, the buildings are BEAUTIFUL. The architecture of that building reminds me of the inside of a church. Thirdly, that food OMG. Looks delicious and I can just imagine the taste. I am salivating. If I leave the rice on the stove too long to steam and it burns like that I get so mad that maybe I should just be happy now to see how they intentionally burn it. Next, David I was waiting to see you make a rose (like a snow) angel in all those rose petals. I buy the Lebanese rose water here in Toronto, maybe I should look for Iran rosewater now. As an aside, do they speak French in Iran? Heard you say "merci beaucoup" (thank you very much) in English. Lastly, the whole video was well done. Mr Taster was Mr Taster as usual, childishly cunning and Ali, such a nice man. You know what I noticed is that these Iranians are such a gentle people. This is turning out to be maybe the best series so far. Waiting to see the rest. Job well done David. Sometimes I don't care so much about the food and look forward to the history and culture and the architecture of the city AMAZING. Can't wait for tomorrow. By the way, you can use rose water to wash your face (should be good for your blackheads), for skin rash, and as an eye wash. Another thing David is that you look like you need a day's sleep 😴😴😴. In the meantime, take care of yourself.🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦 .

There are hundreds or even thousands of French words in conversational Persian, like autobus, avantage, brosse , garçon and crème to name a few. And increasingly, English loan words.

Roses are my favorite Flower and its been nice to see how its made. Thanks for this adventure!! Hope you have a great day 🔥🥰

[@maynejad9959]

There’s no chia seed in the drink, similar to chia though, called Tokhm Sharbati and the seeds are bigger and more gelatinous , Also these are the specific kind of rose 🌹 u can make rose water or Golab (in Persian), from and not every kind of roses , hope it helped🥰

[@elizabeth16598ee]

@@maynejad9959 Oh thank you for letting me know :) I figured you could with any roses. But I do not have the set up to make that lol. I would rather buy it. Nice to know only certain types of roses.

I ate both persian and Indian food✨️ Both are delicious but so different. Iranian foods related to several thousand years of history and culture.Also Indian food related to Indian culture and history.

[@plabonsalah]

@@maryamsf2757 I'm not saying about the taste but the origin or authenticity of the foods which are derived from Iranian cuisine to Indian cuisine like naan, pilaf, kofta, kulfi, sorbet, gosht, card, rose water, and spices like saffron, garam masala, nuts, pistachio, and many others are also borrowed from Iranian cuisine. The foods were introduced to Indian cuisine during the Mughal era by Turkic, and afghan rulers in Indian cuisine. The taste of those foods may be different but most of the Mughlai cuisine in India comes from Persia today's Iran.
