Persian Cuisine Culinary Curator Naz Kiani Set to Open Noôsh in Belle Meade
Nashville, Tenn. (October 2, 2025) – Persian cuisine culinary curator Naz Kiani announced she is opening her authentic Persian restaurant, Noôsh in Belle Meade on Friday, October 10.
In making the announcement, Iranian-born Naz Kiani said, “We have seen a tremendous amount of interest, and we look forward to opening the doors to the public on Friday, October 10.”
Kiani and her mother-in-law have crafted dishes such as the rich, aromatic Fesenjan, the herbaceous Ghormeh Sabzi, and sizzling kabobs—all prepared fresh and from scratch with the same care and intention as if they were serving their own family at home.
The name Noôsh means to sip tastefully” and is derived from the cherished phrase Nooshe Jaan—our way of saying bon appétit. It reflects our entire philosophy: that food should be savored, shared, and remembered.
