Shar

Tucked away as part of a larger complex containing a cafe and snooker hall, Shar is a restaurant with a great location. Located on the top floor of an entertainment complex, the restaurant overlooks central Tehran from a hill providing some great views.

Staff are always on hand and attentive to all your needs. They waste little time in getting things done and are very courteous. At times, one can feel that plastic service facade as opposed to any genuine warmth.

The food is a international mix and match of fusion foods and nothing is quite what it seems. It would seem that the chef has only gained any knowledge of the international food he is cooking from brochures at travel agencies. A good example is the Korean steak, which is a succulent steak doused in soy sauce with vegtables. Not quite what is served in Korea. The salads are also somewhat under thought and simplistic, especially if served as a main course. Despite this, presentation is excellent. One positive point on the food is the desert menu which is outstandingly mouth watering and equally tasty.

The lunch crowd is primarily business men with a random assortment of others, however as rumor has it at night all the Iranian film starts show up here. Overpriced for what it is, but not bad.
