Zereshk polo (زرشک‌پلو) is an Iranian rice dish featuring steamed basmati rice layered or topped with tart red barberries (zereshk), often served with saffron-infused chicken (morgh) or other meats. It is considered a festive or ceremonial dish (majlesi), prized for its vibrant crimson accents, balanced sweet-tart flavor, and aromatic saffron notes, and is commonly prepared for gatherings, weddings, and special occasions.
