Zel Cuisine's gourmet dishes usually include long-grain rice , various herbs (mint, basil, dill, parsley), , flat bread, and some type of meat (usually chicken or beef, but sometimes lamb that is marinated with our famous marination process. Stew over rice is by far the most popular dish, and the spices and form of cooking vary by region. Tea is the drink of choice on nearly every occasion, and is usually served with pastries, or sweets. Dough, a yogurt drink, is also quite popular. Persian cuisine is one of the oldest and richest cuisines in the world.

Traditional Persian cooking is done in stages, at times needing hours of preparation and attention. The outcome is a well-balanced mixture of herbs, meat, beans, dairy products and vegetables. One of the oldest unique recipes is Khoresht-e-Fesenjon, a stew consisting of chicken breast meat in a rich pomengranate and walnut sauce that yields a distinctive brownish color, most often served with white rice.
