Tajrish Restaurang is a Persian restaurant at Torsgatan 31 in Stockholm’s Vasastan district, named after the Tajrish neighborhood of northern Tehran, famous for its bazaar. Diners come for traditional Iranian home-style cooking: slow-simmered stews, charcoal-style skewers and saffron rice, served without fuss.
The dining room is plain and unpretentious, and the attention goes to the plate. The menu centers on Persian classics. Expect herb-heavy khoresh stews in the style of ghormeh sabzi, and kebab skewers of minced or marinated meat over fluffy rice, the kind of food found in Tehran family kitchens. Guests consistently praise the cooking. The restaurant holds a 4.9 of 5 rating from 26 reviews on [Tripadvisor](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g189852-d23891166-Reviews-Tajrish_Restaurang-Stockholm.html), where it ranks #372 of 3,281 Stockholm restaurants. Aggregator [InTravel](https://intravel.net/stockholm/restaurants-cafes/tajrish-restaurang) lists a 4.80 average across 426 reviews.
