Celebrate the festival of Mehregan at Michelin restaurant Shabestan

The legendary Persian restaurant was awarded Bib Gourmand at the inaugural Michelin Guide Dubai this year.  This October, guests can experience a special festive Michelin tasting menu in celebration of the Iranian autumn festival Mehregan.

The festival of Mehregan, which is celebrated every autumn, is a celebration of love and friendship. At Shabestan, recognizing Persian tradition and culture has been key to the success. Recipes have been passed down through three generations where father and son duo chef Shirazi Fazl and later his son Chef Abol Fazl have been cooking for almost 40 years. Shabestan at Radisson Blu Dubai Deira Creek is famed for its authenticity and beautiful views of the creek. The award-winning restaurant is a must for anyone looking to try the best of Iranian cuisine. 

Shabestan, under the direction of Chef Abol Fazl, was included in the inaugural Michelin Guide Dubai under the Bib Gourmand Category. Selected as one of 14, the restaurant is the oldest in the city to be featured. The category shines a spotlight on restaurants that offer a value-for-money gourmet experience. This autumn, guests can experience Shabestan with the Mehregan Michelin tasting menu. Choosing from meat or seafood, guests will receive an eight dish tasting menu for 249AED per person. Dishes include traditional kebabs, stews, salads and Iranian tea.

The special menu will be available from 1st to 31st October from 12.30pm to 11.30pm at Shabestan, Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek. Booking is recommended for the restaurant.
