My Story

Welcome to my kitchen. My name is Maryam Moharrery, and I was born in Tehran, Iran — a city rich in culture, flavor, and culinary tradition.

I am a medical doctor by profession, and since 2008, I have made Geneva my home after moving here following my marriage. Although I could not continue my career in medicine, I found a new way to care for people — through food.

Cooking has always been a deep passion of mine. Geneva, with its international spirit and appreciation for global cuisines, gave me the perfect opportunity to share the authentic flavors of Persian cuisine with a wider audience.

In 2013, I began my professional culinary journey at Grain de Sel, where I worked as an Iranian chef, introducing traditional dishes from Iran to the local community. That experience became the foundation for what would later become Damavand Restaurant — a place where passion, heritage, and hospitality come together.
