"Darya is a no-fuss restaurant serving what many locals claim to be the juiciest kabobs. Order the naderi soltani, which is a combination of the koobideh (ground beef) and barg (filet mignon) skewers, or go lighter with the salmon kabob. However you order, the restaurant 'transports you to Tehran,' says Sam Nazarian, founder and CEO of the food and beverage platform C3. He also loves the tahdig—the burnt rice delicacy of my childhood."
