About

Dastahn (meaning “story” in Farsi) is a food service company devoted to sharing the diverse and vibrant world of Persian cuisine. Rooted in storytelling, craft, and culture, we create thoughtful culinary experiences that connect people through food.

Founded by Shabnam Amini, Dastahn celebrates the rich regional flavors of Iran—from north to south, village to city—offering a modern expression of traditional breads, preserves, and seasonal dishes. Through customized events, catering, private chef services, and pop-ups, we bring together artistry, generosity, and community.

While Persian cuisine is at our heart, our inspiration extends beyond borders. We welcome stories and influences from all cultures, collaborating with a passionate network of chefs, artisans, and creatives to design experiences that honor heritage while inviting new connections.

Mission

I believe in the power of storytelling, and food is my medium. Through culinary experiences, I bring people together—highlighting our shared humanity while celebrating the beauty of our differences. My mission is to uncover and share untold stories through food, fostering connection, understanding, and a thriving community.
