Zereshkpolo with Chicken is one of the most visually stunning and beloved dishes in Persian cuisine, and at Tehran Market & Cafe in Winnipeg, we prepare it with traditional care and authentic ingredients. This dish features a perfectly roasted chicken leg served atop saffron-infused basmati rice, generously garnished with jewel-like tart barberries (zereshk).
The barberries are briefly sautéed with a touch of sugar and saffron, creating a beautiful contrast of sweet, tart, and floral flavors against the savory chicken and fragrant rice. Zereshkpolo is a staple at Persian celebrations and family gatherings, and our version captures that festive spirit in every plate. The golden saffron rice topped with ruby-red barberries makes it as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. Available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery.
