Vegetarian food in Iran<\/strong> goes beyond salads and side dishes. Herb-filled kuku, lentil stews, eggplant dips, bean dishes and rice with vegetables are part of everyday cooking. The challenge is knowing which recipes contain eggs, dairy or meat stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetarian is not the same as vegan.<\/strong> Kashk (a fermented dairy product), yogurt, butter and eggs appear in dishes that contain no meat. If you avoid animal products, ask about stock, cooking fat, sauces and garnishes rather than relying on a dish\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide introduces traditional dishes, ordering tips and restaurants mentioned in earlier editions. Restaurant opening status and menus have not been independently verified for 2026.<\/strong> Contact each venue before traveling there solely for a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
