Iranian Restaurant in Madrid
The authentic taste of Iran in the heart of Madrid — certified halal meat, fresh every day, steps from Plaza de España.
Iranian food — a civilisation on a plate
Iranian cuisine is the product of one of the world's oldest civilisations. The Persian Empire stretched from Greece to India — and along the way, it absorbed, refined and elevated the culinary traditions of every culture it encountered. The result is a cuisine of extraordinary depth and complexity.
At PARSI — Madrid's leading Iranian restaurant — we bring that civilisation to your table. Every dish is prepared with authentic Iranian techniques, the finest halal ingredients and the deep respect for tradition that Persian cooking demands.
When you eat at PARSI, you are not just eating Iranian food. You are participating in a culinary tradition that is over 2,500 years old.
The iconic dishes of Iranian cuisine
Authentic Iranian food
in the heart of Madrid.
Ghormeh Sabzi, Chelo Kebab, Fesenjan — the flavours of Iran, prepared with 2,500 years of tradition at PARSI Madrid.
Reserve NowIranian cuisine — unlike anything else in the world
Iranian cooking is built on fresh and dried herbs — fenugreek, parsley, chives, dill — slow-cooked until they develop a depth of flavour that no other cuisine achieves.
Iran produces the finest saffron in the world. At PARSI we use Afghan Super Negin Plus — the most pure saffron available. It gives Iranian rice its characteristic golden colour and floral fragrance.
Dried Persian limes, pomegranate molasses, barberries, verjuice — Iranian cuisine has a uniquely sophisticated use of sourness that balances richness in a way no other culinary tradition achieves.
Eating Iranian food in Madrid — what to know
Iranian restaurant and halal restaurant
PARSI is an Iranian restaurant and a fully halal restaurant. Every cut of lamb, beef and chicken comes from certified halal suppliers. Iranian food has always been halal by nature, so nothing here had to be adapted — you are eating it the way it is eaten in Tehran.
Iranian or Persian — what is the difference?
People search for both, and both are correct. Persia was the name used in the West until 1935, when the country officially became Iran. In cooking, the two words describe the same tradition: the same rice, the same saffron, the same stews. Whether you are looking for an Iranian restaurant or a Persian restaurant in Madrid, you are looking for the same food.
Where to find Iranian food in central Madrid
PARSI is at Calle Luisa Fernanda 8, a few steps from Plaza de España and close to Templo de Debod and Gran Vía. The closest metro is Ventura Rodríguez, on line 3. We open every day from 13:00 to 00:00, with no closing days — useful if you are visiting Madrid and eat later than the Spanish norm.
For Iranians living in or visiting Madrid
If you grew up with this food, you will recognise it. The Ghormeh Sabzi is cooked for hours with dried Persian limes, the Fesenjan uses real pomegranate molasses and ground walnuts, and the rice is steamed the traditional way. Our team speaks Persian, and the tea comes the way it should.
