Midrange
Coffee Shop & Veggie Restaurant at Iranian Artists' Forum
Fantastic place to stock up on those much needed vegetables. The menu is pure veg and very, very good. Also, great coffees and desserts at very reasonable prices.
Naveed
A new kabob restaurant that offers excellent food comparable to alborz but at lower prices. the atmosphere is very european looking and feeling but not as high end as alborz.
Khayam Restaurant
a few metres from khayam metro station. it is the one on the street right opposite to the mosque. a no-limits evening of a chef kabab with rice and drink - and qalyan pipe, tea and sweets for dessert will set you back around 120,000 rials in total.
Top end

Cool and modern place on a small street heading east of valiasr avenue between vanaq square and park-e mellat serves very good french and italian food.
Dashte-Behesht

Nayeb'
'Nayeb', Tajrish: North of Tehran. A prestigeous restaurant costing around 30,000 tomans per person. It is very chic and offers excellent services to its customers.
falafels
Some of the best of Iran's ubiquitous falafels are to be found sizzling away in stalls on 15 Khordad Ave, across the road from the bazaar. The cost greatly depends upon lots of aspects but there you should expect like 10,000-25,000 rials 1,000-2,500 tomans = aprox: US$ 0.5-1.25 for such a budget type meal.
