TEHRAN GROCERY
Tehran Grocery is a small, fully halal Persian grocery with a sandwich counter at 2120 Kensington Rd NW in Calgary. Reza and Afsheen run it, and it is the only Persian grocer in the inner northwest. The shelves hold Barbari bread, carrot jam, doogh (the yogurt drink), pickles, Persian cold cuts and sweets, and kalbas. At the counter, get the cold-cut sandwich or the samosas. For a party, the sandwiches, rolls and sweets are packed well and arrive warm, so you do not need to reheat them. The Persian tea is worth trying too. Before you go It is a small corner shop, not a supermarket, so the range is limited. Go in for the Persian staples and the sandwiches.
