Why Hala Harchi exists

Persian life is everywhere — and strangely hard to find. Millions of Iranians and Persian speakers live far from Iran, yet the places that hold a community together — the restaurant that tastes like home, the grocer who stocks saffron and fresh herbs, the doctor who understands you in your own language — are scattered across map apps, group chats and word of mouth.

Hala Harchi gathers them in one bilingual home, in Persian and English. It is built by its community: every review, photo and listing makes the map more complete — and helps the next person feel a little less far from home.

Why you can trust it

  • Checked before it goes live

    Every new listing and review is approved by a moderator before it appears on the site.

  • Kept current by owners

    Business owners can claim their listing and keep hours, photos and contact details up to date.

  • Built by contributors

    Reviews and photos come from real contributors, who earn points and badges for making the map better.

A growing map of the Persian world

Hala Harchi is built with its community — real places, added and kept fresh every week.
