Isfahan beryan (بریان اصفهان) is one of the traditional dishes of Isfahan, Iran, fried meat served on a piece of bread (usually sangak) with onion and greens on the side.
It is cooked and sold in unique restaurants (beryanis), and is not usually served along with other foods;[1][2] locals call it "beryun" (بریون).[3]
Jean-Baptiste Tavernier has written about this food in his own journal. Jean Chardin has written two accounts about beryani. Abbas the Great's Noorullah personal chef has too provided a recipe.[4]
