Mahdi Faludeh$

Opposite the Arg-e Karim
Khan, Mahdi is the most famous
faludeh
shop in Shiraz. It also sells delicious
bastani
(Persian ice cream).
Niayesh Restaurat & Coffee Shop$$
(10 Shahzadeh Jamaili Ln; meals US$3-12; 24hr)
The tranquil internal courtyard of
the Niayesh Boutique Hotel is a pleasant place to escape the crowds and relax over a tea,
espresso coffee, qalyan or meal. There's a limited menu of tasty home-style dishes, all of
which are well priced. The hotel can be difficult to find - head to the Imamzadeh Bibi
Dokhtar and then follow the signs.
TRADITIONAL IRANIAN
Haji Baba Restaurant$
(Zand Blvd; meals US$3-8; 10am-7pm)
The waiters at this place certainly earn their
wage, rushing up and down the stairs to serve a constant stream of customers. The
khore-
sht
and the fried white fish are better than the kababs, which can be disappointing. Men sit
downstairs, women and families upstairs.
TRADITIONAL IRANIAN
Shopping
Good buys in the Bazar-e Vakil include metalwork and printed cottons, especially table-
cloths and rugs woven by Fars nomads.
