Tahchin (Saffron Rice Cake)
NiniveDIFC·$$$
AED135.00
Crispy-bottomed rice cake layered with saffron, yogurt, and tender chicken, served with roasted tomato and cucumber yogurt.
Tip: This is a show-stopper dish. Ask your server to explain how it's made — the tableside unmolding is a moment.

Joojeh Kebab
Pars Iranian KitchenSatwa·$
AED72.00
Boneless chicken pieces marinated in saffron and yogurt, skewered and charcoal-grilled, served with saffron rice.
Tip: This is less heavy than the lamb kebab but equally flavorful. Good option if you want something refined but not rich.
