Our Story
A Little Corner of Persia
in the Middle of Taksim
Tarkhun opened its doors as a promise to guests missing the unhurried rituals of a Persian table — a full breakfast spread shared slowly, tea poured again and again, and conversation that never feels rushed toward the bill.
The name comes from tarragon, the fragrant herb that finds its way into Persian and Azerbaijani kitchens alike — a small, quiet detail with a lot of character, much like the room itself. Our kitchen moves through the day the way a Persian household does: breakfast first, then saffron and smoke, then tea, then hookah, then football on the screen and backgammon on the table.
"Sit down. There is always more tea." — The Tarkhun welcome
