Darchin ‌Restaurant

Darchin is a casual Iranian grill restaurant on Mesrop Mashtots serving skewered and grilled meat dishes paired with chelo (steamed rice). The format is simple: pick your protein (beef or lamb koobideh, marinated chicken joojeh, or premium barg cuts) and it arrives on a bed of rice with charred tomato and raw onion. Daily specials like Dizi (slow-cooked stew, 5500֏), Ghormeh Sabzi (herb stew), and Tah Chin (crispy rice-layered chicken) rotate the menu beyond grills. Appetizers run basic—mast va khiyar (yogurt-cucumber), borani bademjan (eggplant dip), soups. Salads include Shirazi (tomato-onion, 1200֏) and Tabbouleh (1700֏). Mains range 3600–9700֏. Best for grilled-meat cravings and quick lunches; the 4.4-star rating suggests reliable execution. No frills, no waiting tables, honest food.

Things to note: Limited drink menu (sodas only). No alcohol. Salads are fresh but simple. Decor is functional, not atmospheric.
