Foodie ways to see Iran

spicy seafood in Bandar Abbas

The food of southern Iran is hot and spicy, just like its climate and is influenced by the region’s position as one of the stopping points on the maritime spice trade route between India and Europe. The port town of Bandar Abbas is the best place to sample Ghalyieh Maygoo – a sharp and spicy stew made with generous handfuls of fresh coriander, tamarind, red chilli, garlic and prawns.
