Since we’ve been asked “how vegan and vegetarian people travel in Iran?” and “can I find vegan and vegetarian food in Iran?” here is the answer:
There is some traditional vegetarian food in Iran, like “Kashke Bademjan, Mirza ghasemi, Ashe Reshteh…” and there are vegetarian-friendly restaurants in big cities like Tehran, Esfahan, Yazd, and Shiraz. Small towns and mostly non-touristic areas are not familiar with a vegetarian diet, and before ordering any meal, you should make sure the person is familiar, or you need to explain it.
If you are a vegan and want to travel to Iran, it’s best to have pre-made vegan food and cook it yourself. Not all supermarkets in Iran have vegan-friendly food, and you can find them in hypermarkets in big cities! Overall it’s better to discuss it with your travel advisor in
