Introducing Apadana: A Taste of Persia in Huddersfield
Apadana is the premier and sole Persian restaurant in Huddersfield and its surrounding areas. We have taken great care and pleasure in recreating the warmth and beauty of Iran in a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all to experience and enjoy. Located in central Huddersfield, specifically at No 9 Railway Arches, Viaduct street opposite Tesco's petrol station, we are conveniently situated for all to visit and delight in the wonders of Persian cuisine.
Persian Cuisine: A Culinary Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
Persian cuisine is known for its traditional and modern styles of cooking, which are unique to Iran. It has historically both influenced and been influenced by Iran's neighbouring regions at various stages throughout its history. Persian recipes have evolved over the centuries to bring out a unique taste out of the freshest and finest ingredients that are used in making Iranian food. The result is a symphony of flavours that are sure to delight the most discerning of palates.
Typical Persian main dishes are a combination of rice with meat, lamb, chicken, or fish, complemented by onion, vegetables, nuts, and herbs. To achieve a balanced taste, characteristic Persian flavourings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, and parsley are mixed delicately and used in some special dishes. Many foods famously associated with Middle Eastern, and indeed World cuisine, have their origins in Iran, such as our most famous dish: Kabab.
Our kababs range from Chelow Kabab, kabab-e barg, Joojeh (chicken) Kabab, and Ghafghazi, all of which are served with rice and fresh herbs and could be accompanied by Mast-o-musir or Shirazi salad to get a true taste of Iran. Our stews each have their individual taste and flavour, and vegetarian stews are also available and will be served with rice or chips.
