Persian Cafe

This time I've decided to go away from my usual topics in political theory and culture studies, and visit persian cafe in Philadelphia, which is called "Safa plant co".

I've met with Behnaz (بهناز) and her son Amin (امین), who own a cafe in Manayunk, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a persian cafe with a lot of plants inside (which are sold). At first, I thought it was a part of unique entourage designed to attract more guests or, maybe, it was an allusion to the gardens of Babylon; however, the owner told me much more prosaic story: the cafe actually used to be a persian restaurant, but covid-19 disrupted the habitual way of life and the restaurant was turned into a cafe and a plant shop in order not to go broke. Behnaz was born in Tehran (تهران), then moved to Virginia, and after 1984 resided in Philadelphia. She also told me that after their restaurant was reorientated there were no persian restaurants left, except for one called حوان دربند in Germantown Pike. However, she emphasized that it is no longer owned by a persian man. Anyway, it is my next stop to explore persian america! Oh, and of course I was recommended to try persian wrap and persian rose black tea with baklava! P.S. Behnaz also showed me some interesting cases of spelling particular syllabus and letters' combination, which I've never seen before.

Persian Perfection

You have tried Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, Indian but not Persian food. Embarrassingly, you do not take note of the name of the restaurant. You only recall it’s the one on the left (there are two) with the entrance being the grocery store bit - with stacks and stacks of dried goods piled on the counter to the point you can’t see the said counter.

Persian food is your exotic familiar friend next door. Some food names foreign and rolls off your tongue strangely but not all. There, on the menu you read b-r-i-y-a-n-i and n-a-a-n. ‘Cultural appropriation!’ Copycats!’ some may scream, but not you. You, the educated scholar, and keen researcher of Wikipedia, historical novels/Mangas. In particular, you dedicate your ‘extensive’ knowledge to the eye-opening read, ‘A Bride’s Story’ by Kaoru Mori on Central Asia.

Back to the main point, Marco Polo is said to have brought ‘pasta’ from China to Italy in the 13th Century. Archaeological evidence does show noodles existed 4000 years ago in China, lending much strength to said story. Likewise, they say that it was the Mughal royalty that brought briyani and naan to India. There is evidence of such food existing in Central Asia for eons. Does that make Indians the cultural appropriator!? ∑(ﾟﾛﾟ〃) Honestly, it really depends, doesn’t it, what is fusion? Adaptation? Cooking flavours from home? If a Mughal royal goes to India, eats Mughal food, and spreads the love of Mughal food to Indians. Does that make it cultural appropriation? Does the Medici who married a French and hence brought Italian pastries to France, make macaroons cultural appropriation? Or is only cultural appropriation if a ‘great’ royal conquers another land and takes their recipes home? Such is a table-side conversation while you peruse the menu, only to then see “French Fries: Potato strips in deep fry”. Definitely, absolutely, Persian…because its strips in deep fry ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Besides the rather familiar names, was the taste exotic? You say it still is. Goat curry, lamb briyani, kebabs, and naan were all savoured. Each bite bringing familiarity but not quite. The spice blend being a little different, tasty but different.

When it comes to curries, it is all about the secret blend. Perhaps it was a Persian blend, perhaps it was just the secret blend of the restaurant. Perhaps, one day, you will eat at another Persian restaurant and think, this tastes like my dad’s!

You wrap up the meal with the amazing doogh, the Persian yoghurt drink. In Turkey there is Ayran, in India there is lassi, and in Persia there is doogh. You order your ‘mango lassi’. You expect it to be well yoghurt and mango, in other words, a lassi. Then the mind-blowing part happens – some mint and cardamom were blended into that ‘mango lassi’, making this mango doogh a level of its own. Your verdict? Best dish was the doogh. You now intend to make lassis with some cardamom and mint in future.

Sosis Bandari, Hot Dog Curry Sandwich of Iran

"Sosis Bandari is an interesting product that developed within Iranian culture while seemingly not absorbing much that is Iranian. In essence, it has shaped a small piece of the culture around itself." Sosis Bandari, Hot Dog Curry Sandwich of Iran

Seven and a half years ago, when I was mere steps along this sandwich journey (but had already self-applied the “Internationally Recognized Sandwich Expert” label I still claim), a friend who will remain unnamed asked me if I would be interested in having her write about a Persian sandwich for the site. Of course I would, why wouldn’t I? And so she assured me that after researching the sandwich,…

Dolmeh refers to a variety of vegetable-stuffed dishes and is popular not only among Persians, but also Armenians, Turks, Arabs and Indians. There are different types: eggplant Dolmeh, kotab Dolmeh (stuffed), Dolmeh beh (stuffed quince) and Iran’s most famous Dolme bagh or stuffed vine leaves. The famous Dolmeh Bhaji is made by stuffing grape leaves with a mixture of rice, minced meat, onions, saffron, pepper and parsley.
