Persian New Year

Hey there,

What a coincidence! Last night couple of my friends and I were thinking the same thing. how and where  we suppose to celebrate 4shanbesoori.we googled it but apparently nothing will be going on here in Istanbul and im not sure if we can just go to a street  and make a fire!! Probably police will arrest us

So,what do you have in mind?

Look forward to hear from you.

hey,
finally after some days... I got 2 replies well you're right we can not just go and set a fire out at street, we can do it in kilyos but it's little far so I'm going to make some calls to see if we can find a place near bosphorus that we can do it. then we have to think about having a 4shanbesoori dinner

Hi!

I'm very interested in meeting up for Persian New Year! I'm Iranian-American teaching English in Istanbul. I haven't met any Persians here yet so maybe we can arrange a get-together one night.

Is anyone interested in these events?

Hey,

let's first do something about 4shanbesoori. I can't just sit at home and do nothing... we need Eggs with onion skin we need Sabzi polo ba mahi / shish andaaz and of course we need a little fire to jump over it. oh my God I want 4shanbesoori...

I called a nice Place called Gilane-Cafe (Probably a good Iranian restaurant in Istanbul with a cosy and friendly atmosphere) and She (the owner which can hardly speak Farsi) told me that they can make us SabziPolo ba Mahi or any we can order any other stew that they have (like Ghormeh-Sabzi, fesenjoon, etc). If we decide we can have a nice time there

Ah yes! I have been there. She is originally Turkish but she said she lived in Iran for many years.  The food was good when i was there too. 

I'm in.

im originally from turkey but my father side is persian..
