Persian Meatballs, Traditional Teahouses, and the Perfect Kebab: MUNCHIES Guide to Tehran (Part 2/3)

- For our second installment of The MUNCHIES Guide to Tehran, Gelareh visits Nayeb, a white-tablecloth restaurant that's been serving up succulent kebabs in Iran for over 120 years-and even got its initial footing in the bazaar. Their signature dish, koobedih, is a spiced meat kebab dipped in onion juice and cooked over an open flame, served with rice, somagh (sour powdered sumac) butter, and raw egg.
After dining with Nayeb's fifth generation, great-great-great-great-granddaughter Sogol, Gelareh heads to the Baghe Saba Teahouse-a cultural hub akin to a Parisian salon that was once a mens-only enclave but now welcomes families. There, Gelarah is greeted by a buffet of salads, stuffed eggplant, barley soup, and every size of sabzi koofteh (Persian meatballs).

I'm from Germany and visited Iran 2 months ago...
As a matter of fact, i couldn't believe how great it is.
rich culture
amazing landscape
nice people
delicious foods
i don't know what i should say.
Iran is under international sanctions, but ...
i hope the government will change, as Iranian want.
It will never change with people like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
i just wanted to say, there isn't a relation between Iranian government and Iranians. that's all...
Murad Man.. I dont think you are even Iranian.. he says based on his observation, ppl were not happy with the law and government. We Iranian dont like it and it is obvious for many.
Just ignore the troll
+Murad Man, Republic? With a supreme leader who controls 70 percent of everything? Troll
Okay, people are saying she's hot etc etc which no doubt she's a beautiful woman.
But wow, finally a host that actually knows her food. This was great to watch. She is an excellent host. And the cuiside of Iran is amazing!
Can we get "The Interview" back though? LOL
بى اختيار گريم گرفت نميدونم چرا تشكر از مجرى و باعث و بانى اين برنامه موفق و مويد باشين ايشالله
Thank you Supreme leader for your generous compliment
Kim, why did Trump have to back out of the deal?
I really like that lady. Something about her and the way she speaks is very interesting!
Very intriguing
Ivan Beau
Teh-Ran
Very well cultured she is.
Chris Gabrielsen swag swag
Growing up in many places def broaden her perspectives.
Gelareh is so lovely! Munchies' best content is when the hosts actually know the language and country like Eddie Huang with china and that guy covering northern England.
The traditional tea house had me in awe! The atmosphere inside looked so nice
The hammams are wonderful. We do have them around where I live in France and the Pacha one near me is the largest in France and only for women, always. It's a day of Paradise. They are superb in Turkey and I loved my two hours in a mixed one there. Even the little ones can be great, they don't mess around, you get looked after and all fixed up, you emerge good for weeks, just feeling refreshed. :)
CuteCatFaith
I see you everywhere for some reason lol :)

I'm in very poor health and the end is near.

I am from Bangladesh. Which is at least 3-4 thousand km away from Iran. But I am surprised to see that I can understand many of the words they're saying. Specially the names of stuffs, places.
I would love travel to Iran someday. I love the heritage, culture and Iran a lot. I hope we had good relations within asian countries as they have within Europe or even Africa.
Alternative Facts IKr
+Ra Ra exactly so :D
You speak urdu-ized Bangla, that's why.
I am Ethiopian and I live in USA! I will definitely visit Iran! It is my #1 choice ! I never seen a culture so beautifull so rich in everything you can emagine.Sometimes my language, sounds very similar too.i have to do a reasearch on this.i thought marrying ,Iranian will create !a combination of Amazing culture ,between us.Iran is also part of the beginning of civilisation! This countries like Iran Ethiopia, most middle Eastern countries are simply heaven to me.
I'm from Israel and I wish I could visit Iran. Great culture, amazing people and the food is eye popping.
And I’m from Iran and wish I visit Israel one day and experience its amazing culture, cuisine and its wonderful people. I have many Jewish Iranian neighbors due to the great synagogue close to my home, great people. one day we will make a long lasting friendship when we Iranians overthrown the evil non-Iranian Islamic regime inside Iran and I guarantee that time is so close my Israeli friend.
Amen to that Hircine M.
@@Belakor.m Israel is not a perfect country either.
@black rider keep going in circles
Love Iranian food! I'm from Hyderabad India a lot of our food in Hyderabad comes from Persian influence but our version is more spicy.
Indian cuisine is also delicious! And I'm from Tehran :D
JinglesDoFine can you bring me some food of yours? T.T
Name a place bro! :))
B I R Y A N I
You're whole culture is a copy of theirs.
Im in USA I work in Iranian restaurant before in san jose ca in my opinion Persian food is the best
I love it !
When a kebab recipe has been perfected for 120 years, you know it's going to be delicious.
Watch Part 1: bit.ly/Tehran-1
Kem ice kebab
Food looks absolutely amazing, and this woman isn't annoying like most other Munchies presenters.
I'm from Istanbul so I can see a lot of similarities, like the tea houses and stuff, but the kebabs look totally different. The dolmas and the koftah's look similar but we don't use fillets for kebabs, which is just a goddamn shame. Marinating them in onion juice sounds fucking fab.
I was pleased I got so quickly attached to Turkish foods. You guys have amazing condiments, yogurts, too. I really liked the basic salads with no vinegars and the red tea. Wonderful pop music -- such fun surprises!!
CuteCatFaith Yeah we usually use pomegranate extract on our salads which is obviously just a really good thing. Any of my friends who come to visit always leave with a few extra pounds guaranteed, Turkish food is incredibly diverse and just very tasty. Glad you had a good time! Istanbul?
DaemoniumCC No, but I have a pal in Istanbul, from the USA, who decided a decade ago to learn the language and go live and work there. (He's in Uska Daar these days.) I went alone to Ege and at first thougt, oh, no, what have I done? But a couple of days I was getting more and more attached to stuff there. I understand the East is different, it's an enormous country, and generally much misunderstood. :)
CuteCatFaith It's generally very misunderstood, which is a shame. We're seen as this dumb muslim country thanks to our president, and even though there are people like that here (like everywhere else) it's pretty far from the truth. As I'm sure you are when you visited.
Erdogan is really a pig, and all of his AKP supporters are too, brainless pigs
I LOVE THIS. That tea place is incredible, the food is so richly layered and complex, it's mind boggling, the clothes the women were are beautiful and this host is awesome.
No, I'm not Iranian. So but this culture looks so unique and interesting. I'd love to visit Tehran.
Such a beautiful language. It melts your hearts. I wanna learn.
It is I too want to learn
This is the Tehrani gay accent.
@@bhka6423 so what!
Z Jiang I hate this accent.
@@bhka6423 make your own video, let me hear yours and change my mind then!
I am originally Kurdish from Turkey and according to my DNA results I am 95% Persian and would love to visit Iran one day. By the way, my interest in Iran has got nothing to do with my DNA results. Even before the results I had always had a sympathy for Iran. And one more thing. That tea house is just so beautiful.
the place is just Amazing i wish the worlds is full of peace so we can share our Amazing cultures
man i'm going to have to travel to Iran just to go to that tea restaurant.
lol true
Same. Add a a library in that establishment and I would happily live there permanently.
Love how Turkish and Persian cuisines are so similar and so different at the same time
Wonderful Country with Beautiful People Fascinating Architecture Lots Of Love From India (Occupied By Hindutva)
InshaAllah One Day I'll Visit Iran...
why do I always watch this when I have absolutely no food at home.. so damn hungry right now
I know you feels man. I was watching the first episode as a warm-up for my dinner. Sadly, it wasn't as top notch as the food served in Tehran
😂😂😂
i dream to visit Iran ...and that tea house, the place looks so atmospheric!
Gelareh is great reporter. love her
she is a story teller.iranian culture is wonderful.it also has rich history and people. send me roses from Isfahan. My thanks to this lady for showing the beautiful Iran. Thanks.
Oh wow, Iran. Now I really want to go there!!!!
My complements to you. You presented these series very eloquently. Haven't been home for over 40 years, and you took me right home... :-)
Mercy!!!
Im going back after 7 years. You should do too
I’m sorry. :(
GOD BLESS TURKEY
GOD BLESS IRAN
Do Turks like Persians?
Aleksander Borkovich why not
we like you turkish
turkey is the only country in our neiborhood we have no problem with
Yasasin Orkun abi. helal
AlexandraJohnsson Bruh shut up you racist bich
This woman has something about her, keep her in the show she is very very attractive.
Growing up in many places def broaden her perspectives.
yeap.
Rebassed persian women are fucking hot...
Manira Sara Damn,,, you sound like a jealous arab girl...
+telephonic what's your thing against Arabs???
Very nice, the culture is beautiful! I like Iranians :D Much love from an Armenian
I've seen her host other shows on vice and I am absolutely intrigued with her style. Her beauty is obvious but it's more then that it's her intellect. And I love the way she speaks it's like a valley girl ish middle eastern yet very western motif that I am just very drawn towards. Set us up munchies!! 😜
Im legit mystified by her beauty,
she's unique indeed
My stomach is telling me to go to Iran!
+Ddog666 gave me the giggles
Lets go, after watching Bourdain and this, Iran is one of the top country I want to go
The_vb Sounds good. Hope you have enough money in your bank to get me a ticket ;)
Ddog666 I do have money actually, just enough, but I have used up my work holiday already, so maybe next year
You can find most of this in Queens, New York
The song in the background of the tea house!!! I used to listen to this song when I was a child. Also she really knows her Iranian cuisine wish I could go!
Fascinating episode, Iranian food looks delicious. Gelarah is brilliant, hope to see lots more from her on Munchies soon!
Its shame for us Turkish not going to ıran and experience the great culture....
I must take a trip to ıran .....
Selim Kaymakoglu hosh geldiniz gardas!
So easy and extremely cheap. Why dont you do it.
You dont even need a visa and the amount of money you spend on your trip will be less than what you spend in Turkey.
enshallah !
..This place you can see, has lots of Ancient Persian influence. It's amazing how similar Roman, Greek and Persian architecture are too each other.
What a rich. Beautiful culture I have dreamed of going to Persia someday
Love Iran,so much culture, history and yummy food.Will love to visit once the political turmoil is over.
The host is so nice to listen to, I really like the way she speaks
The atmosphare seems to be amazing in this traditional restaurant😢this viedo made me so excited already to visit this amazing restaurant... one day i should go there..
Iran has so much potential
Autochrome Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, an Iranian scientist and engineer, claims that an Iranian flying saucer technology he developed was used to capture the Sentinel drone about which the mainstream media has been reporting. Does Iran have a space program more advanced than NASA's?
Lineage2 Are you serious?
+Lineage2 lol lets not get carried away now...
Most Nasa Scientist are Iranian.
Do NOT let this girl go. Keep her on the show.
The presenter is not the daukhtar khalie Zeibah - but she is both attractive and 'lady like'. Even my wife liked her both her appearance and manner.
lol..why Parsi and french language sounds like kind of the same... it's fascinating and bliss in my ear. Greeting from Indonesia
I come from an Iranian background though my ancestors moved away quite a while ago but my grandmother cooks the most divine traditional Iranian food. My favorite would have to be marag shabsi. I recommend everyone to try it, its truly delicious.
The Iranian foods are one of the delicious cuisine in the world that is why millions of tourists visiting every year to Iran to visit its ancient civilization remains and to taste the delicious and exotic cuisines of Iran. I am in love with Iran. Almighty God may bless this beautiful country and its people.
I am from Tajikistan and live in the U.S, watching Iran I found so much similarities with my country. As many times I try to cook our traditional food in the U.S it's not the same at all. There's something about ingredients and air in our country that make it different.
Our food is organic and not poisoned like in America.
Great episode! Even better than the first.
The teahouse owner has a reason to be proud. His foods and restaurant was beautiful.
The decor of the Tea House is so exquisite; it is one of the most beautiful teahouses I have seen. The food is so tempting - I wish I were there.
Such rich and vibrant culture! Shame about all the politics
Christian Oskarsson Don't mention politics please, I am only here for FOOD 😂
Christian Oskarsson i think same for America
Yes, very sad that we can't show the world our potential because we have the worst politicians
kamran Eslami what?
Yeah , policy is full of dirty plans .
Persian cuisine... My Favorite!!!
Iranian*
Aw, nice seeing you here,too!
Iran I am coming!!! nice food
Persian culture awesome people and awesome food. Wish I could go there once.
The tea house was so damn beautiful.
Iran people looking so beautiful love from India
As an Iranian, I've never heard anyone eating rice with a raw egg mixed on it !
But buttery rice makes the taste richer.
Iranian Kababs are one of the best, but Iranian cuisine isn't all about kabab and there are other great recipes to die for !
Really? I'm afghani and it's a odd delicacy, not very common but some people like it
It's not a tehrani thing to do, it's a dehati thing to do
My mother is from Tehran and from her I picked up eating rice with raw egg mixed in, it was one of my favorites growing up and still today! But we eat it with the raw yolk, not the whole egg.
@@ThinkAbstract the real tehranis do it.
@@adoust3921 The real tehranis are dehatis, it was only since it became the capital that it people from all over moved in and made it better.
i love these shows. Showing the people of countries like Iran. Showing the people, how they are just like you and I. Love Vice for this.
I fucking love Iran. Can't wait visit Iran soon. Also Farsi sounds so beautiful.
Your account name shows how dumbass you are that's why you wanna go to iran
@@redroses6522 Guna means quality/talent in her native tongue
Iranian food looks SO yummy
Munchies! Have Gelareh be a regular host! She is beautiful and awesome!
Getting me hungry for some great Persian food.
Greetings from Texas. Your culture is beautiful
She is so tall and beautiful!
Ahhh! My fucking dear Munchies! where were you for the past 10 years. never came across your channel. Falling in love with your work man! Amazing
Amazing county described by an amazing reporter. . Love how down to earth the hoset is. Bravo
Dear CNN, I beg that you release all seasons of Parts Unknown for free in full on TH-cam. It will those few of us blessed with this man's talent in opening up our eyes to a wider world of culture, tradition, and in turn shrinking it in turn by showing and sharing the common experiences across the globe, and our common and united interest and love we have in sharing our food and drink. This would be an apt tribute to Tony, and a gift upon the wider community and citizens of this planet who have not yet been blessed by the education and perspective this man has given us lucky few who have watched this amazing series. RIP Tony, may you seek the light you were searching for, while we keep in memory the flame of your presence.
It looks SO nice and civilised ind Iran. Damn did not expect that. *Mind blown*
There we go Western media interpretation through my entire life.
oh i love to visit tehran one day, im a filipino.
حتی برای من ایرانی و آشنا با تمام ریز جزئیات فرهنگ و غذای ایرانی، خیلی Document TH-cam show خوبی بود و واقعا لذت بردم از خوش ساخت بودن این ویدیو. درود به شما
What a beautiful culture and very nice people
The real Persians ❤️ so much respect and love to all of you from a broken Afghan 🇦🇫 guy in Sweden 🇸🇪.
Amazing food amazing love
I am from pashton tribe of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 watching this looks and make me feel we are somehow tie to the old
Persians and Persian empire.
When I was in the ohare airport in Chicago, just about to literally step onto the plane to go to europe, a Homeland Security officer named Juarez began to harass me. He literally ripped my passport from my own hands after I had already shown it to him already. He began to question me even demanding my drivers license. He almost had me miss my plane due to his questions. Even repeating the same questions I had already answered. I told him I don’t like what ICE is doing detaining children in cages. One of the questions he ask me was, “do you have any plans for visiting Iran or Russia?” I didn’t. I told him no. But why are we so oppressive against Iran. Just because they don’t agree with the American capitalist system and imperial/colonial tactics all around the world. These guys can’t say I can’t visit Iran or Russia. And I shouldn’t be intimidated like that or face any unfair consequences. It’s about time we made some healthy changes. We also need to be democratic and allow ALL nations to have an equal and fair membership in our world.
This country and especially the food looks really interesting! Maybe i'll go to Tehran someday...
Persian women are amazing looking
Most of them have aurgery
@@asianking187 you sound like a jealous indian lmao clearly the presenter has no surgery so what's ur excuse now
Elizabeth Gomez Elizabeth Gomez indian? How do i sound indian? My mother is actually iranian and iranian women are known for surgery ...the nose job captisl of the world so you have no idea what the fuck ur tslking about.....most of them have surgery she probs hasnt
I really liked eating Middle Eastern foods in the Mid-East! I am fairly adventurous (went all alone) but at first, I thought, I don't know ... but by Day Two, I found myself so attached to them, to so many things, and what music! It's a bit hard to describe unless you know someone who has been at least somewhere there and avoided hotel food (I can't stand that!). The climates, fresh products and methods really make sense to your senses. Uprated.
Where have you been in the Middle East?
Fyer
Western Turkey. That's as far as I got. Really, my stomach was not sure at first. I thought, huh?? Quickly, I loved the spices, amazing yogurt and condiments, excellent grilled stuff, red tea, terrific breads and sweets, a lot. :)
CuteCatFaith Come on that's not even the dangerous places, you should have visited Jordan or Lebanon, they are truly magical places.
Fyer
Yes, I know. I was alone and am disabled so that was the best I could do four years ago. I am getting old! xo
munchies is now my favorite youtube channel..
Wow I have taste this dish seekh kababs and boil rice in London from Iranian cuisine .it was delicious
I'm just addicted to your videos and didn't really know Iranians had such great cuisine... woaaaaaah..
I hope to see IRAN and experience these delicious foods!
Iranian food is great
That show is amazing and truly makes one want to go to Iran and discover all its flavours.
Great food and peaceful people in whole entire Iran.
Looking forward to visit again.
She seems less arrogant than other Munchi presenters...she is nicer, very pleasant to listen and watch.
Iran has a rich culture & the food is a good excuse to visit. The west has much to learn from Iran & they do not desire a corporate society based on fast food restaurants & Walmarts.
You have a very beautiful country, culture, food, people. Looking forward to visiting again soon, thank you, God Bless
Thank's for showing us the gastronomic culture of this great civilization
Love Persian girls very beautiful.
wow Tehran culture, would that I were there really!
Omg both places looked so magnificent. The food looks amazing! I would love to visit.
There is so much of variety in Iranian food.the color and appearance seems to be marvelous.but the way the restaurants are beautifully presented in so much of colorful decoration,that I am really amazed.
Excellent host.
Man Iranian food looks Fuckin great, Me from Bangladesh love to visit Iran one day.
Ranjan Biswas go for it dude u will love Iran we welcome all our muslim brothers to come and enjoy our country.
But I'm not Muslim, am I not welcome?
Ranjan Biswas every body welcome my friend we love all people
Asap 2027777 of course man I've been to Sweden twice I got relatives in Stockholm ur welcome here any time Iranians are friendly people.
Amazing Tehran, all that food reminds me of time spent in Egypt, Israel & Jordan, it's that go to eat tradition - theme, in mid east countries, don't forget those Bam dates. Freedom & Peace, always.
This series has been amazing so far. It has been definitely worth the wait, and I love her!
damm I miss persia I haven't been there since I was 10 im 16 now
I feel the same bro, tho I'm Pakistani and haven't been back in a while. But I have to say, Iran looks incredibly rich, clean, and definitely on my to go list!
Oh my, starting at Ep 1 I quickly found I preferred this to Bourdain! Bourdain’s prog was interesting, but too much time “explaining” Iran. Munchies cuts straight to the food, and what places and dishes Gelareh shows us. What a wonderful surprise in Ep 2 - the Bagh-e Saba “teahouse”, right round the corner from where I used to live in Kuche Kia (doubtless has a different name now as Kia was one of the Shah’s generals!). But I think it started up after I was there, so I never had a chance to go. Anyway, Iran has some of the best food, the most delicious dishes, in the world, no two ways about it. I’d love to see more by Gelareh as she can only have scratched the surface with these progs. You learn what food IS in Iran, just how good it can be. No more caviar though please!
That tea house is mesmerizing! I want to go!
WHAT A FANTASTIC FOOD SHOW WITH A GREAT PRESENTER,WE NEED MORE OF THIS ON IRANIAN FOOD AND CULTURE IT IS SO INTERESTING
Fuck i wish we had a middle eastern buffet in Toronto
There are so many shawarma and kabab restaurant in/around Toronto. Some of them are pretty good, I believe. There are Jordanese, Lebanese, Turkish, Iranian and many other middle east restaurants. Although they might not be as good as those ones in this video, but the selection is wide, m8.
zhengbq Im talking about an all you can eat buffet middle eastern style
Gen Rej Not many middle east buffet, true. But personal opinion, kabab and shawarma are way more delicious when severed fresh, instead of placed in buffet tray. In that way, they tend to lose their tenderness due to overcook (buffet tray heats the food constantly to maintain temperature)
zhengbq Ya bro. I know a good shawarma place. Thanks tho.
Hey, even buffets in the Middle East really don't work for all dishes. A lot of stuff you have to wait a few minutes for so it's freshly made. But I know what you mean. Most cuisines do not transport well. There can be some wonderful good, close imitations, however!
Persian girls in Los Angeles don't wear head scarves. Plus their like super beautiful. Oh wells.
in iran its the law, that's why, plus some immigrant persians aren't that religious anymore aspecially the younger ones or they arent religious at all
ItsTheGrammarNazi
burqa*
sorry, not a grammar nazi but, just so you know :>
too bad. headscarves add an entitre layer of beauty to women: modesty and imagination. this is why Iran > fucking los angeles.
dont get me wrong. i like la. but i love Iran.
Regardless of what you define as "beauty", it shouldn't be mandated and enforced on people.
the original Nayeb of Tehram Bazar was unbelievably delicious. I can firmly claim the absolute best anywhere.
Great Episode& great country with thousands years of Food- Culture. Thanks, Munchies!
