About Us

Jiran Fine Foods was created out of the love of fresh flavours and food items from Iran, Turkey and the Central Asian region’s culinary market. Our co-founders, Sheikh Mohammad Ayman and Hossein Tehrani wanted to share their passion for exploring new tastes and trends in the food and beverage industry, be it locally or internationally, with Malaysians at home.

It was Ayman’s younger brother who came up with Jiran, which suited us perfectly as our first shop was situated right next door to Ayman’s office, and we loved how there was also a mention of ‘Iran’ (where Hossein’s family is from)’, in Jiran.  

Jiran Fine Foods imports only the finest food products under our brand. Among our many notable food items includes our exquisite honey, which is specially harvested and imported from the mountain regions of Iran. The bees that produce this golden liquid feed from coriander flowers, giving it its robust taste. Our charcoal roasted cashews, walnuts and pistachios are also popular best-sellers, both online and in our physical stores.

We have since grown to become retailers and wholesalers with two physical shops within the Klang Valley area, namely BIG at The Linc KL and at 158, Jalan Raja Abdullah. You can check out our many product offerings in-store, or through our Instagram page (@jiran_finefoods) as well as Shopee and Lazada.

Ayman and Hossein are planning on exploring more Central Asian countries in the near future to introduce and ensure an even more diverse food market for Malaysians to enjoy. Besides that, Jiran Fine Foods is also currently looking at more food items to bring in from Turkey, and to offer more savoury foods in-store very soon.

Our Background

Growing up, Sheikh Mohammad Ayman used to follow his father to book fairs around the world as part of the family’s 30-year-old publishing business. It was on these trips that he begun exploring different flavour palettes from trying out various types of cuisines.

“While travelling with my parents, I noticed that we would always somehow find ourselves in an Iranian restaurant in our search to find halal restaurants overseas. That’s where my love for Iranian cuisine began- I was always impressed by the freshness of their locally grown ingredients, and how their diet consists of a lot of herbs, nuts and vegetables,” he explains. “I wanted to find a way to bring this back to Malaysia, and share the same taste and flavours I enjoyed there, back home.”

It was during the pandemic that the idea of Jiran Fine Foods came to fruition, with the goal of being among the tastemakers of Malaysia’s ever-evolving food scene.

Ayman already had a close friendship with co-founder, Hossein Tehrani and his family, who have strong roots in importing and selling fresh fruits from Iran to Malaysia since 2008. It was through this shared passion for the culinary market and food items from Iran, Turkey and the Central Asian region that the duo decided to set up their own food importing business. Together with Dato Mohamad Bin S Ahmad and Ali Tehrani, Tradelab Sdn Bhd was born in October 2021.

For now, Jiran Fine Foods has become key retailers and wholesalers in Malaysia, with two physical shops within the Klang Valley area, namely BIG at The Linc KL and at 158, Jalan Raja Abdullah. The stores’ offerings are also available online, and on Shopee and Lazada’s shopping platforms.

The quality of the products are excellent and fresh. Alex took the time to show me and explained the quality and where he imported them. Test tasted the honey, saffron of good grade and the barberry was bright red and fresh. Variety of fried herbs as well. Will be visiting JIRAN again for middle eastern food products. The JIRAN I visited is at The Linc.
