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.
Owned by real people
Business owners can claim their listing and keep hours, photos and contact details up to date.
Built in the open
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.
