The way we cook

A pot in the middle.
A plate for everyone.

Behzunara is a small kitchen built around stews that simmer, rice with a crisp bottom and meals that leave room for conversation.

Start with the rice.

A spoonful of stew, a little saffron rice, then a piece of tahdig. We like the contrast as much as the flavor: soft rice, crisp crust and a sauce that brings them together.

Come in for one plate at lunch. For a table at home, the family trays carry the same dishes in portions to share. You choose the stews; we pack the rice and sides alongside.

Catering starts at 12 guests with 72 hours’ notice. It is pickup only, with a menu and price agreed before the kitchen gets started.
