Emarat Namakdan Cafe

Some of the best dishes you can find in Isfahan is here for sure.
Great atmosphere, polite staff and perfect food.
Highly recommended if you want to enjoy food, right next to Naqshe-jahan square.

As a persian food lover. The food was great. The atmosphere is just perfect. I am in love with the yard and also the building. Definitely is a recommended place

It is a fantastic restaurant that boasts excellent staff and exceptional food. The architectural charm of the old building is extraordinary, adorned with wonderful craftsmanship. Moreover, the food is delicious, and the service is impressively fast. However, during holidays, be prepared for a potential wait of up to 15 minutes due to its popularity. The restaurant exudes a fantastic vibe, and overall, I highly recommend it.

It's a restaurant that offers you great food and experience. The place has an outdoor area for the restaurant and an indoor area for the cafe. Inside, there was also a quite unique atmosphere filled with traditional items. The only bad thing is, it is way too much crowded.

I really like this restaurant.
It has a vibrant atmosphere however it is always crowded:)
The staff are very respectful and polite
The food is excellent; very high quality at reasonable price
A great choice for tourists as they can find a variety of different Iranian delicious food

Lively air around.

They are crazy busy, so even the meals came in the slow side, it is still efficacy meal and services.

I love everything they served me, whatever it is.

The best place for lunch in Isfahan. There is a choice in the menu for vegan diet: Mash Polo Khorma.

Namakdan is THE place for a real traditional persian restaurant in Esfahan!
If you want a time travel back to the old persian days with traditional music, food and atmosphere, you HAVE to visit Namakdan.

We are Iranians from Germany and we have found Namakdan by chance.
We have met the owner and she is lovely and truely kind woman. She even invited us to her house for a cup of tea. A really beautiful woman. She personally controlls each food and chooses just the best. She is always there for monitoring the restaurant and the staff. We can confirm the superior quality of the food and service. We went to Namakdan each day either for lunch or dinner. It was always excellent.
Each 15 minutes a waiter/waitress comes and asks if you need anything. Absoluty great example of true persian hospitality.

I personally liked the tradional persian music. If the weather is good as shown on the pictures, you have to wait up to 30 minutes to get a free table.

Do not visit Esfahan without coming to Namakdan. You will love it!

Lovely, beautiful place that used to be an old house that was transformed to a restaurant. We ordered polo mash and gheymeh bademjan both come with rice and lamb as the protein. The food was ready pretty quickly and it was very tasty as well.
We also had dourgh which was great too.
We sat outside, it was a sunny day and despite being winter it was comfortable.
In case you wonder there are both Iranian and American style toilets.
At last upstairs there is a small antique museum you can check out for free.

This restaurant is located right next to Naqsh-e Jahan Square and the quality of the food is excellent. One of the highlights of this restaurant is serving food in copper dishes, which gives a traditional feel. Another positive point is the reasonable price of the food along with great quality and variety.

I really liked the food and quality there, we ordered kabab tabei and Tahchin, both of them were great, the service was fast and convenient , the nutella shake was also delicious. Prices were reasonable. Only problems were, it was too crowded and where we sit was far from the flame and it was cold, they didn’t have Kobideh kebab

Every time I go to Isfahan this place is a "must visit" in my list. They got nice interior design for inside sitting, outdoor sitting are cozy too. I think they need more fans during summer for sure. Don't miss their Ab doogh khiar in summer !

Fabulous restaurant in the very heart of Isfahan's historical center. The food and service was great. Here you can get traditional Persian cuisine which is made slightly differently from classic ones you get at ordinary restaurant (and Attention to those different details makes a difference!). The place is a traditional old house that has been renovated. It also has a beautifully decorated place for Isfahan hand crafts and souvenirs.

Almost everything about this restaurant is great, location, service, food, cleanness (except that none of staff wear mask) so far food quality is the best between all restaurants nearby.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

I loved this restaurant so much. There is a big garden in outside. Even you can eat in garden. There is a always a big heater outside. So you can eat something outside and anytime. The tastes are really so delicious. I highly recommand here to anybody😊👍

Memorable atmosphere
Quality food and the right amount
Professional staff

Nice staff, fresh food. Courtyard has been improved with veils, sprinklers and fountain à since photos I saw posted. Old house contains more tables and an overpriced antique shop. Careful: location on Google map is not correct, look on the other side of that street (opposite Illy café)

Lovely place, with great food quality, great services and a mind blowing environment. If yours seeking for a place to visit that shows the Iranian culture I definitely suggest this place.

I visited this place a couple times whilst I was in Iran. The food is one of the best. I loved the atmosphere and the vibe of the place is always great.

The tea and cakes were also delicious.

Please add Mirza Ghasemi to the menu!!! :)

brilliant experience near Naqshe Jahan Sq. the quality was perfect but menu was not various. I suggest tahchin and kabab tabei. those were served with salad and yogurt. nice staff and spectecular place.
