The last journey

Papa Mastani is Hoji Mastani's tribute to his father. Their last journey together went from Iran to France. Here it is, chapter by chapter.

Hoji about his father

Bandar Anzali

Where the embers were lit

It all began at home in Bandar Anzali on the Caspian Sea: glowing coals, saffron in the air and father at the grill.

On the road

Side by side

A father and a son, a bag each. The last journey they made together went west, towards France.

Paris

From the Eiffel Tower to the skewer

In Paris they ate like Parisians and talked about home. Somewhere there the idea took shape: Persian grill and French bistro under one roof.

At the table

Food is for sharing

At a small table they shared food and memories. That is how we want it to feel here too: the dishes in the middle of the table, for everyone.

Linnégatan 5

The walls remember

Today father's portraits hang on the walls, surrounded by memories. Every evening at the grill is a greeting to him.

For father.
