About Abbasi Restaurant
Abbasi Restaurant is located in the historic Abbasian House next to the Tabatabai House and is one of Kashan's top dining spots. Guests can enjoy delicious traditional Iranian cuisine and Kashan-specific dishes, with camel meat and dizi being the standout favourites. The Abbasian House is a 19th-century merchant residence with the typical Kashan central-courtyard architecture and original carved-stucco interior decoration.
The signature is the Kashan Camel Meat Stew at $22 — the regional dish using camel meat from the surrounding desert region, slow-cooked with onions, tomatoes, dried lime, turmeric and saffron, served over basmati rice with the famous Persian tahdig. The restaurant is one of the few in Iran that regularly serves camel meat, and the dish is genuinely distinctive to the Kashan region. The traditional Kashan Dizi at $14 — the standard Persian lamb-and-chickpea stew in a single-portion clay pot, eaten with bread and pickles.
Beyond the camel meat and dizi specialties, the menu has the broader Persian classics: Mixed Chelo Kabab ($18), Khoresh-e Fesenjan ($22), Khoresht Nokhod Alleh — the rosewater-infused stew ($22), Tahchin ($16), and a small Persian-soup section. A meal of three dishes for two runs $50-70.
The room is in the converted Abbasian House courtyard. The dining tables are arranged around a central Persian inner-courtyard with a small pool feature; the surrounding side galleries with traditional Persian floor-cushion seating are used for groups; the original carved-stucco walls and wooden-beam ceilings remain. Capacity is fifty across the building. Walk-ins always work; reservations are useful for groups of six or more.
