No, the rice you’re talking about is saffron rice.

But biryani is an Iranian rice food or am I very wrong? never tasted that cuisine so far.

Biryani is a dish eaten in many countries across the Middle East and South Asia I think, not specifically Iranian. But I would associate it more with South Asia rather than Iran or Middle East.

Okay, it is a supraregional dish and not a specialty in Iran. A try seems to be worth it nonetheless.

They exist indeed. I personally have eaten them in a pita, that is good!
Fresh hot falafels are delicisious. Also,creamy fresh hummous is another one of my fave. the sweet pastry parcels with flaky pastries and filling with pistachios is super.

You made me think of pistachio ice cream
Mantu and Ashak

Mantu are dumplings stuffed with beef whilst Ashak is basically dumplings stuffed with fresh chives. They're Afghan dishes and are popular. I personally prefer mantu.

Oh, I just realised the title said Middle Eastern food!

It's fine, you can have a bit of Central Asian in there too...

You're welcome and enjoy!
