A family-run taste of Persia near the centre
Termeh sits at J. Jasinskio g. 16a, a short walk west of the Old Town near the city centre. It is a family-run restaurant that locals keep coming back to for genuinely authentic Persian food — the kind of place reviewers describe as a gem for real Persian flavours rather than a watered-down version. The welcome is part of the draw: friendly, attentive staff and owners create a warm, inviting room that suits a relaxed meal.
The cooking is hearty and generous. Expect Persian classics such as fragrant pilaf (plov), falafel and samosa, with vegetarian options alongside the meat dishes, all served in big portions at fair prices. It is an especially popular lunch spot, where the value-for-money plates have built a loyal following among people who work and live nearby.
Good to know
Termeh is well-loved at lunch, so it is worth arriving just before the noon rush to beat the peak crowd. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable, which makes it a reliable mid-day choice rather than a special-occasion splurge. Vegetarians are catered for. As ever, confirm current opening hours with the restaurant before you go, as times can change.
