Bagh-e Salar, a famous restaurant located outside Mashhad in Shandiz village, is representative of traditional Iranian architecture, which is characterized by stained-glass windows and many arches. The restaurant serves shandiz, an Iranian kabob dish that takes its name from the surrounding village and is made with shishlik, or skewers of lamb chops.
