Isfahan Beryan (بریان اصفهان) is one of the traditional dishes of Isfahan, Iran, a fried meat served on a piece of bread (Sangak usually) with onion and greens on the side.

It is cooked and sold in unique restaurants (Beryanis), and is not usually served along with other foods, Beryan is served as a main course mostly in places called Beryani,[1][2] locals call it “beryun” بریون.[3]

Jean-Baptiste Tavernier has written about this food in his own journal. Jean Chardin has written two accounts about Beryani. Abbas the Great's Noorullah personal chief has too provided a recipe.[4]
