Polo Sabzi with Fish is one of the most cherished dishes in Persian cuisine, traditionally served during Nowruz (Persian New Year) celebrations. At Tehran Market & Cafe in Winnipeg, we prepare this beloved dish with the same reverence and authenticity as families across Iran. The dish features fragrant herb rice — basmati rice infused with a generous mix of fresh dill, cilantro, parsley, chives, and fenugreek.
The herb rice is served alongside perfectly cooked fish, creating a light, fresh, and vibrant meal that symbolizes renewal and the arrival of spring in Persian culture. Our customers rave about this dish, especially during Nowruz season. As one reviewer noted after a Nowruz dinner: “We all as a family enjoyed polo sabzi and fish — the fish was excellent!” Available seasonally and by request for dine-in, takeout, and delivery.
