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!
