After 15 years in New York's fine dining, Michelin kitchens and helping multiple restaurants open, Chef Soroosh Golbabae kept coming back to the same craving, the food he grew up with. Bold, fire-kissed, honest. Kebabs pulled off the fire, bread torn and shared at a table full of noise and laughter. Persian food is one of the world's great cuisines, yet somehow it never made it to the street corner.
“Āzar is my way of changing that. Nobody else was going to do it right.”
— Chef Soroosh Golbabae, Founder
