A lot of my Aussie mates who come to bali to surf love kollege ( or college - forgot spelling) next to rubikon as well as Ocha as the food is a cheap local style and it's quick and easy. My personal fav is warungku in denpasar for that style ( Nasi Campur). Most regular tourists I know ( not really sure about the hotel crowd though) would rather be eating local style food. But then again most of them are hardcore indo travellers that have been coming here for years. An Iranian restaurant might work if you had some bellydance action going on. The punters would love it for sure.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
lol
Well KuraKura, problem is, bellydancing is not Iranian. Belly dancing is an Arabian dance and even though I'd love customers to pour in my restaurant I like to keep it simple and Iranian.
But mark my words, I will have great food, for tourists and expats a like, and much more. But thanks for the laugh man, made my day :-)
Best to you all,
Ali
Ali, as everyone already mentioned, do your research and do it well :) Business in Indonesia (not just Bali) is not unlike crawling through a cage of hungry tigers with a few choice cuts of meat strapped to your family jewels, or so I heard it described by a friend of mine. But do post here for your grand opening :D Never had Iranian food before but want to try. My goal in life is to sample at least one dish from every country on earth :D
When I lived in Edinburgh I had a Iranian friend who invited me a few times to have lunch and dinner in her house to taste Iranian food and I remember I liked it so much!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed it, although that it was almost 14 years ago so donīt ask me about the food because I already forgot it and it was the only time I had the chance to taste Iranian food but I really have a good memory about Iranian food.
I remember (with a smile in my face) as well how my friend talked about her loved country, she used to mention very often how beautiful Iran was and the great memories she had when she was a child with her big family living on the countryside, she said Iran had a beautiful countryside (I have to say that I am very ignorant about this country and I have not idea about her beauty), she was very very proud to be Iranian and her country.
Follow my memories eating a few times with my Iranian friend I put my fingers up for Iranian food!!!

Hi MADCAT, HI BEGONIA,
Madcat: Thank you for your thoughtful comments, I will specially take in mind the Tiger story. I will let you and all the wonderful people who have heartily gone out of their way and helped me on this topic; about the grand openning. I will be sure to help you with sampling different cuisine from different parts of the world:)
Begonia: Well, I have heard so many similar stories regarding the first time exposure to Iranian food. I am very happy that you enjoyed both the food and the conversations with the Iranian lady. Unfortunately for the people of the world, our country has become a sort of a mystery. This is due to the sanctions and stupidity of the government. But the country is indeed beautiful and one of a kind, we have 4 seasons all year long. We have deserts, mountains, green, and so much to see. maybe some day you all can visit the country and experience Iranian food and hospitality first hand, both of which in my opinion are first and second to none. I hope that if I open this restaurant I can please you with my food and friendship and that I can tell stories of the country.
Thanks again guys,
Ali
