North Of Iran Food And Cuisine
land of sour flavorsEverything in the north of Iran is made of rice, even Traditional Sweets. For food, rice is cooked in the form of “Polo (pilaf)”, “Chelo”, and “Kateh”. In the not-so-distant past, bread was a sign of wealth on the table of the northerners. it was only served at official ceremonies and gatherings while in other parts of Iran, bread was more common; and it’s been only a few decades since rice has found its way into the daily table of the people. One of the main ingredients of northerners’ meals is garlic. The good news is, in the north garlic loses its bad smell quickly after eating due to high humidity and is not annoying at all. In other regions, on the other hand, you have to chew gum or cinnamon to fight its odor.

the most important part of Persian meal
Rice is a staple part of every Persian meal and is served variously in almost every Persian family. Gilan and Mazandaran are the main two provinces in the north of Iran that cultivate rice; and the best-known rice is “Sadri rice” from Gilan. This kind of rice is called differently in Iran (“Chelo” or “Polo”) based on how much it’s gotten steamed and what additional ingredients are used to make it. Although Chelo is the official name for plain rice, most people tend to call rice “Polo”. The standard white rice can be served with all kinds of stews (Khoresh), garnishes (nuts, dried fruits, vegetables, and meat incorporated into it), and kabobs.

central business center
Khayyam street is one of the oldest Streets of Qazvin City but is considered as a central business district since many new shopping malls and stores have been built and other already existing ones have been renovated. So the street and sidewalk are almost always crowded especially in the afternoon but completely shuts down before 10 pm. There are a number of good restaurants, fast foods, and cafés for people to suit themselves and needless of changing their way to eat something after getting exhausted from walking up and down the street continuously. Many people choose this street only for entertainment; they enjoy mere walking in it and if you’re wondering why, you have to see it for yourself to find out!

It is a remnant of the Qajar dynasty and was built in 1816 AD by two brothers named Mohammad Hasan Khan Sardar and Mohammad Hossein Khan Sardar (Sardar is a label that refers to a commander of an army). They had both participated in the Iran and Russian war and succeeded gloriously. The construction is most certainly an architectural masterpiece in Iran’s history.

oldest remained cinema in qazvin
Qazvin city can be named amongst the first cities of Iran that had several movie theaters and went on screen for the first time in 1928. Unfortunately, all of those old cinemas were somehow destroyed and Mellat Cinema was the only one that survived the many events before and after Iran’s revolution, but now it is deserted and unusable; the only remaining thing of it is the structure and the significant memories of people’s happy moments inside it. So it is the oldest cinema in the Qazvin city which was up and running almost till 2003 and then suddenly abandoned for good.
