Actually, the zereshk (زرشک is the berry. It is the dried fruit of Berberis vulgaris, which is widely cultivated in Iran. Iran is the largest producer of zereshk and saffron in the world. It is used in many different dishes especially those involving chicken. When made with rice, it is called zereshk polo and with the addition of chicken, it becomes zereshk polo morg. There are other zereshk products in Iran as well including jams and juices.
EDIT: Also, thank you for pointing out a restaurant. I spent some days in Islamabad. I was living in this district called Block F, which is a moments drive to the Blue Area. I had asked my hosts about any Iranian restaurant and they said they did not know of any. So I must ask you, is this place recent?
No its an old place, is there since 70s i guess. Its in the basement so u have to find it.
