Chef Bardia Ilbeiggi helms this restaurant where natural lights pours in, bursts of blue calm and lattice screens and paintings by local Iranian artist Golnaz Kianipour mesmerize.Complex and elegant, Delara's dishes deliver the essence of fresh, flavorful Persian cooking—tartness from dried limes, yogurt and berries; freshness from herbs; richness from nuts and seeds; and aromas from spices. Served in a deep bowl, hearty aush bobs with barley and legumes. Served with bread, it could be a meal alone, but don't stop there. Beef short rib with tangy gheymeh fills the room with a heady scent. Finally, turmeric and orange cake is a burst of sunshine with strong citrus notes.
