Mama Persia

Navid Zolfagharpour and his team welcome you
Mamapersia is a place where you can feel at home with all your senses. An oasis in the middle of Lake Zurich. Enjoy our famous hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere.

We at Mamapersia originally come from northern Iran. Our local cuisine offers a few extras with secret ingredients. For example, our homemade marinades, which are applied 12 hours before the meat is grilled.

PERSIAN CUISINE

Persian cuisine is a millennia-old art that has been passed down through many generations. The recipes have been continuously refined ever since. Individual ingredients are selected with the utmost care, because harmony of flavors is the highest priority in Persian cuisine. One of the most important components of Persian cuisine is fragrant rice. We offer this in various variations. For example, with freshly prepared vegetables, fruit, and nuts, or with butter, grilled tomatoes, and meat. We grill the meat over charcoal. Saffron and turmeric play an important role in seasoning.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF NORTHERN IRANIAN CUISINE

We only use original ingredients. Spices such as saffron are imported directly from their country of origin, Iran. We source our meat from local butchers. One of our highlights is our home-smoked fish. The popular sweet and sour taste of Persian cuisine is achieved by adding lemon juice, orange juice, or pomegranate.
Vegans & Vegetarians
We have special recipes for vegans and vegetarians. It's a good thing that our northern Iranian cuisine offers many vegetarian recipes.
