Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What foodstuffs, you mean, Śrīla Prabhupāda? I think what do they serve... You mean what are they serving people to eat? Śrīla Prabhupāda...
Rāmeśvara: There are fruits and juices, very nice fruits and juices in Iran. And they also have nice vegetables and wheat. Wheat is their main grain.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda, wheat.
Prabhupāda: So wheat...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How to they make the wheat, into cāpāṭis?
Bali-mardana: They have a special type of bread.
Rāmeśvara: They makes breads.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is not being understood. Prabhupāda, do you mean what we are serving the royal family?
Prabhupāda: No, no. They have got restaurant.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The restaurant. What do they serve in the restaurant.
Rāmeśvara: Oh. In the restaurant there is cāpāṭis, nice ḍāl, two sabjis. Rice is a very favorite food of Persians, so rice is there, and some sweet, usually some pudding, some sweet rice, and some fruit juice and fruit. These things all come as part of the meal.
Prabhupāda: They like it.
Rāmeśvara: Oh, yes. It is so crowded. There's no more room. In fact, they are looking for a bigger place.
Prabhupāda: Hm. Hm. So everything is prepared by Nandarāṇī?
Bali-mardana: Nandarāṇī is preparing?
Rāmeśvara: Nandarāṇī and some other brāhmaṇas, some men who are there at the temple. She is especially a good cook. And in the evenings they play Hare Kṛṣṇa kīrtana tapes, mostly Your Divine Grace. People very much like the atmosphere because of the music. In Islam there is a tradition of chanting God's name and other mantras or prayers, so they appreciate the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa very much. When you enter the restaurant there is a big book table, so the first thing that one sees are japa beads and your books, and people buy the books from the table.
Prabhupāda: English.
Rāmeśvara: For now they are selling Bhagavad-gītā, Back to Godhead, and Satsvarūpa Mahārāja's book. That is also being sold. They are just now printing the first Persian Back to Godhead, and in three months' time the Bhagavad-gītā in Persian will be... Translation will be completed.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Who is doing the translation?
Rāmeśvara: One local man that joined us, very intelligent man.
Prabhupāda: So they are looking after a bigger place?

Rāmeśvara: Yes.
