Nature
Shandiz
Beyond Torghabeh, known for kebab and garden restaurants. This guide does not reserve a table.

Why people go
Shandiz has a food identity: kebab and garden space. Quality and queues differ between restaurants, and no garden restaurant here is a Mashhad Pro partner. You choose and you pay.
Sunset in the valley is a good reason to leave in the afternoon, provided you do not lose the light for the road back. Fridays are slow on the return.
Souvenirs
For saffron and turquoise, Reza Bazaar in the centre is more complete than a meal stop in Shandiz. Do not expect both from one pause.
