yep i understand why Jafar has high blood sugar

It’s confirmed: the Dads on this channel are all amazing, funny and sweet 😭😭😭

I am a Korean and my husband is an Iranian. I visited Iran in 2005 for the first time and there were around 50 family members of my husband waiting for us to greet. wow I was totally shocked!!! then they treated me with all these sweets that when I left Iran after 2weeks of visit, I gained around 5kg more!! 😄😄😂😂 Iranians love sweet stuff! and they have the most delicious fruits in the world!!!!! and the iranian bread called sangyak, the most delicious bread in the world!!! I miss it so much and all iranians are so friendly to foreigners and they love to always give away things like foods and love to invite people to their homes. Iranians have beautiful homes that decorated like the palace.and Iranian ladies are very beautiful 😊

My adoptive father is Iranian and really developed in me a love for the amazing flavors and fragrances that are so prevalent in Iranian foods. I, in turn, raised my own children with a love of Iranian foods. It's funny to see us - a family of lily-white Irish/German Oklahomans - chowing down on amazing Iranian dishes!

Do a Gentleman's day out with Jafar and Ollie's dad!

Poor Jafar, he is looking so longingly at the sweets while they're eating

I’ve been to Iran (twice) and all of what Mr. Jafar said in this video is true! Food is spectacular, Iranians are the nicest people I’ve ever met, their culture is just so great.

His name in Persian has four meanings: man name, camel, parsley, city name. There is a poem in Persian: "Jafari didam, ke bar Jafar savaar, Jafari mikhordo, az Jafar gozasht." translation: "I saw a Jafar, riding a Jafar, eating Jafari and passing Jafar.

Aww Jafar is such a sweet man

I had an Iranian customer on a service call at 6am some years ago who had tea, dates and snacks set out for me. He wanted to know about my life. We talked for 20 minutes. That's not normal for a satellite installer.

My best friend's iranian, and literally his parents are the nicest people i've ever met. Ive known him for like... 18-20 years and still dont know his parents names coz i just call them mum and dad. Such an incredible hospitable people.

I'm Armenian; hello to our neighbors- Iranians. I was so excited when I saw the title of the video.

I like Jafar. Really like how he talk and explain everything. I Hope there will be part 2.

10:22 Ollie: "I don't know how you resisted eating that" Jafar: "I had whole bowl this morning" 😂😂😂

I agree with her dad, people talk about French cuisine and patisserie and all that....but Persian food is hands down one of the best in the world. The deep and strong aroma and taste is another level. And they make the best sweets/desserts in the world. There I said it!! Their people and their desserts are warm and wonderful. Lots of Love from India. Most of our Indian sweets are based on Persian sweets!! Gabie should do a whole day of cooking Persian food!!

Josh actually pronounced all the persian words preeeetttty good

"how do you resisted eating that?" "because I had a whole bowl this morning" Exactly me when my mom invites people over for lunch/dinner lol

I feel like Sepi’s dad and Ollie’s dad should spend an afternoon together. Edit: HOLY CRAP AT THE LIKES

My partner is Iranian and he introduced me to all the sweets, zoolbia is my absolute favourite. I've never met such warm, genuine, polite people in my life. I can't wait to jump on a plane as soon as I can

As a British Born Iranian, I come back to this video every few months, I enjoy the look of joy on Jolly

Being half Korean and half Iranian, I'm so giddy watching Josh and Ollie do this 😊

“No tea bags” . .. ... “Where does it come from?” 🤣🤣🤣

I'm an Iranian and I can say, this is just a drop in an ocean of Iranian food and snack! Hope you guys can enjoy all of them in Iran ☺️

Imagine being an Iranian Jolly fan and randomly noticing a video from three years ago featuring Iranian food. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it... but damn now I have to go get some of these or I'll be staying up tonight thinking about them!

He's so savage "That's the good thing about England, when I first came to this country everything was so bland..." hahaha xD

I am waiting for an episode titled, "JOLLY dads trying..." That's going to be epic.

I'm persian boy and i'm so excited when see other people have so much nice opinion about our foods. TY SO MUCH for this video

As a Turkish I really surprised that how our neighbors have that much different desserts than ours. I'm also upset about not heard of any of it. Thanks Jolly for that😗

More videos with Jafar in them please, he's such a polite man. I LOVE it when people get excited about sharing their culture's food. What a great video!

I love their father-daughter relationship. You know he's a good father.

Oh my gosh! I LOVE Iranian food! We lived in Iran just before the revolution and really enjoyed our time there. The food is amazing. I had Tahchin once with a neighbor friend and I still dream of it. We had a shop down the street from us that would make flat bread in a stone oven. There is nothing more delicious than walking home with a round of flat bread (noon) that is still hot from the oven and still has small rocks in the nooks and crannies. The smell would waft through out the area. We jumped the fires on the streets at night for Nowruz threw grass into the river as we celebrated the Persian New Year. Good times.

I'm a British-Iranian immersed in Korean culture, and to see Jolly make this video warmed my heart- and laughed lots! Thaaaanks~~!!!

I’m British and Iranian and it’s soo nice to see you make this video because no one really knows what Iranian food is like and the culture I feel like people don’t really like Iran due to it being in the news and have negative views on it. But it is seriously such a nice and warming place to be it would be so good if you could visit one day !!

Jafar: No tea bags. Ollie: Where does it come from? Ollie’s answer is the most British thing ever.

This lovely gentleman was as friendly and hospitable as the people he speaks so fondly of! What a delightful moment! Thank you!

I know it’s a KZfaq comment and they typically don’t go far but I just wanted to note you’re all such lovely people who put our such wonderful energy. A service to mankind.

Jafar is so sweet! My wife is Iranian and I understand so well how he feels. The Iranian people are so lovely, they carry their heart on their tongue, and the food is amazing.

OMG Jafar is such a good representative of Iran! The way he introduce things about Iran, the way he talks about how he loves Iran, makes me really want to visit Iran. Ah I wish I can go to Iran and try those amazing foods!

The degree of Middle eastern sophistication is amazing.

There is a shop in Chicago that serves Iranian and Arabian sweets. The owner was always so kind when I came in. We would sit, have tea and talk for hours! I miss them soooooo much!!! This was a wonderful video!

Iranians are the most unfairly maligned people in Western media. The ones I know personally or have met casually have been wonderful. kind, fun loving people. Sad how media will target a country & people for constant defamation.

"there's turkey in it" *Ollie slightly confused* "sometimes there's lamb" *Ollie is completely mind blown*

Oh guys this meant the world! Honestly, the world knows so little about us Iranians and the fact that they haven't tasted what delicious cuisine we have is just heartbreaking. Tonight alone I went through more than a dozen videos enjoying them all wishing someone would do something like this with Iranian food. I don't know if you'll even see this comment, but as foodies, it would be an absolute missed opportunity not to taste Iranian food; don't mean to sound smug; you just HAVE TO eat our food to know what I'm saying😍😍😍

I'm from Iran and mannnnnnn this video was just so cute 🥲🥲 I suggest "aashe reshte", "zereshk popo ba morgh" and "ghorme sabzi" 😁😁😁😁

Jafar: Girls like it VERY sour. Sepi: HOW DO YOU KNOW? Jafar: (Talks with mouth full*) I know Also Jafar: Trust me (Proceeds with and invisible smirk*)

Dad: Girls like them very sour. Daughter: How do you know that, dad? Dad: I KNOW.

I have rewatched this many times. Please have Jafar on again! He is a treasure!

My best friend back in high school and college was Iranian. Hospitality is at the core of everything they do and I was welcomed at every family event. What a lovely afternoon you had with him :) I really enjoyed it!!

Again. So wholesome you guys. Bringing in your crew's parents in to the mix. Love it! EDIT: Oh wow first comment to reach more than 100 likes! Thanks you guys, love this community. :)

“I had a whole bowl this morning” This man knows the secret to happiness

Persian/Iranian food is so good and so healthy, I just love it. One of my favorites.

it's probably got to do with the fact that they're doing the video with an open background behind and natural light, but it just made me feel kinda happy and warm nice in ways other Jolly videos haven't. The warm and welcoming Iranian dad Jafar saab and the absolutely adorable Sepi just made this video even more amazing and happy and chirpy! FORGET MICHELIN STAR FOOD, YOU'VE GOT TO DO MORE OF THESE VIDEOS TRYING FOOD FROM AROUND THE WORLD JOLLY! AUTHENTIC HOME FOOD! Also as an Indian there was so much that had me thinking that omg that's like something we have here too, I knew about the Zoolebia and Indian Jalebi connection already as well as the Iranian origins of Samosa (which i coincidentally just had today haha) but even the Sohan reminded me of the Indian Sohan halwa and the Gaz of the Indian brittles like Gajak that we have and the Darjeeling tea ofc from India. sends me thinking about how any more culinary connections India and Iran have (i'm sure a lot since we've had long connections through trade and rulers, but it wasn't something i had thought about so specifically until now) JUST BEAUTIFUL to see how interconnected and close different parts and cultures of the world really are, just absolutely beautiful! thankyou JOLLY and Jafar saab and Sepi, hope you're well and Nooshe jaan :)

JOLLY is such multicultural channel I love you guys so much 😭

"Girls like it very sour" "How do you know?" "Oh believe me, I know" 😂😂😂

I hope Josh and Ollie do more such videos. They are so open and accepting of all cultures and I’d love to see them try cuisines/lifestyles of different cultures.

We have Halim over here in Bangladesh too! It's really good and it's popular during Ramadan. We have "Zoolbia" too but we refer to it as jilapi. I didn't know we borrowed them from Iran so this was really interesting! Bengal has had its fair share of interactions with Iranian and a lot of other different cultures in the past and that's reflected in some of our foods and even language ( Bengali ) to some extent :D

"It smells like a swimming pool" "It's like halfway between porridge and guacamole" Ollie, 2019

“Jafar’s cakes” made me laugh far too much! 😂❤️

I'm an Iranian and thanks a lot for this video we all appreciate that and we all be extremely happy to meet you in our country.

I am Iranian, and I miss all these snacks, especially "Halim". Iranian people are very kind and hospitable. Mr. Jafar was also so sweet and explained everything really well.

I’m an Iranian living in the United States and I have to say that I was crying during the whole video. I miss halim so muchhhh. Glad that you guys liked halim :))

아버님 성함 듣자마자 알라딘 생각 남 케이크 자파 이야기에 웃음터지신 따님 올리아버님이랑 같이 출연하시면 좋을 것 같아요

.....My heart is so full with hearing them say Khuda Hafiz....... ohhhhh I love you guys

I traveled around in Iran for a month a about ten years ago. I don't like to assign collective traits to groups of people, but the fact is that in all my travels, never have I encountered so many friendly and curious people as in Iran. The guy I met at Imam Khomeini Airport who has just dropped off his dad and gave me a ride into town, refusing to accept any kind of reimbursement (nemishe!). Sitting on the floor in a mosque in Esfahan talking to a group of people curious about how people in my country view Iran (luckily I had a pack of cookies in my pack we could share!). The two sisters who called their mom to arrange an impromptu dinner with the whole extended family when I asked them if they knew a restaurant which served a dish I had been wanting to try (fesenjoon), again of course refusing to accept any kind of reimbursement despite my protests (ghorbonne shoma beram!). Or the man who stopped his bicycle in front of me as I exited my hotel in Shiraz, wanting to know my room number so he (a baker) could send a box of cookies to my room, simply because he was happy to see a tourist. I really want to go back one day. I couldn't recommend a visit to Iran more.

This. This kind of videos is what makes this channel the best. So sweet and lovely.

한국에서 대중적으로 널리 알려지진 않은 문화를 알 수 있어서 좋았어요! 영미, 서유럽 외에 더 다양한 나라의 문화를 알 수 있으면 좋을 것 같아요!

What a sweet man! Bless him!

I do not know why youtube recommended it to me after two years, but I loved it! In Azerbaijan we have exactly the same tea tradition, especially the sugar thing. We do love these iranian sweets here in Baku. But we also love to put a slice of lemon in the tea, absolutely delicious! 😻

I was born in Iran but moved to Canada when I was really young. This is reminding me so much of my grandparents. I'm gonna call them after watching this T.T Thank you so much for the video! 💕

video hasn’t even started and I know it is going to be great!

How wonderful that people who have immigrated to another country with very different food stuffs are able to enjoy a large variety of foods from their home country.

She has an awesome, intelligent and cultured father.

"When I came to England everything was so bland" hahahaha so true and so funny.

I'm from Iran and damn never thought I see one of the channels I'm subscribed to make sth Iran related so that was rly nice 😍😍 and damn Jafar has an Iranian accent 😂

Loved Jafar. I’m of Russian descent and we drink tea the same way. I remember my grandmother would put the sugar cube between her teeth and then sip a glass of tea. I agree with the viewer who suggested a video with Jafar and Ollie’s dad

Please, do more like these. The world needs to see more of the common humanity and sweetness in people from all over the world....through food etc.

Sepi's dad is so wholesome and funny and sweet! And he looks so jolly when he laughs when olly makes jokes! One of the best guests that have ever been on JOLLY!! Edit: whoa! 150 likes! Thanks guys!

@5:21 Girls, they love it very sour. -How do you know? -I know. Trust me. Omg Jafar 😂😂

I have amazing Iranian friends in Tbilisi. Their food is wonderful

As an iranian, I found this so interesting and i'm so happy you liked that snacks.

he's so right though, we love love LOVE the more sour lavashaks, and its a girls thing, like lavashak is the treat your boyfriend gets you if youve had an argument and he wants to talk but wants to get on your good side first, idk why but it works on most women lol also the halim thing is still the same you wake up late and theyve sold out and its gone :( its only served/sold in the mornings bc it takes the whole night to prepare and once its finished they cant make more until the next morning, its more popular in the winter bc of the weather

Wtf I'm Iranian, a Jolly video on Iranian food !! My ego is satisfied

Iranian tea culture is simmiliar to russian culture except we ussually preffer the tea way stronger, i always love the sugar cube in mouth thing its called tea with a bite We russians also love to sweeten zea with jams and in the southern regions they put figs and dates in ther mouth and then drink tea its wonderfull

I’ve been watching your videos for so long and only just now have seen this one, as an Iranian I’m so glad you liked Iranian food and hope you’ll try more Persian meals in the future as well!

I AM FROM IRAN. and tbh if you try the main dishes you will fall in love.🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

I'm Iranian and was literally eating lavashak while watching this :)))) He's so right about hospitality of Iranian people, They LOVE tourists so much and are just eager to invite them to have some tea and chat. you should try some Iranian food too !

This was such a cool video 👍I watched it twice and I was smiling the whole time 😊🤩 You guys are so sweet and your guest was so fun to be around and chatting with him

I love Jafar. I could listen to his stories all day. I’ve never had a chance to try any Iranian sweets but a friend invited several of us from work to an authentic restaurant in LA. The food was delicious. The spices are so good. They have so many interesting ways to prepare rice. Delicious.

This is so true....I was blessed to be invited to a Persian home in our community and their tea is amazing. They are loyal and true, Honest and graceful. I love their culture and just am in awe of their loyalty to their families.

Why can't governments do international relations like this?

I’m so pleased that you chose to create this video! I’m learning a lot from this. Ive explored other cultures (their food, traditions, etc) but I’ve never done so with Iran and the surrounding areas. I have to say this is one of my top 5 favorite videos - i do believe. Thank you again!

I'm an Iranian live in Tehran watching this video makes me cry, tnx you guys

It's cool being introduced and shown all these different cultures from around the world!

"no tea bags" . . . *"where does it come from?!"*

Oh my God!!! This video literally made my day!! I'm from iran living in tehran and right now we're not doing good :( Corona's situation is so bad and we're again in quarantine. Watching how you two enjoyed our sweets really made me happy!! I just want for the world to know us better, our beautiful culture, delicious food, amazing history and the fact that we are good people!! You should try our food too!! Our kabab and jooje, stews like ghorme sabzi and gheyme, our famous tahdig, tahchin, ash reshteh and a lot more 😍😍😍 love y'all so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having watched Best ever food review show do a series on Iranian food, seeing Josh and Ollies reaction to Iranian snacks is too wholesome

아버님이 정말 정감 넘쳐보여서 너무 좋아요.이란 차나 음식들도 정말 맛나보고 싶고요. 이란에 가보고 싶은 마음이 강하게 일어나네요. 아버님의 진행도 정말 열정적이시고, 멋지세요... 건강하세요 ^^!

I love Jafar. He's so lovable and acts like everybody's dad. Praying for Jafar's health.

What an awesome classy gentleman- Josh and Ollie have the best job on the planet!

This Iranian guy is such a boss he has two watches.
