Barbari Bread (Persian: Nan-e Barbari: نان بربري) is a type of Persian flatbread in Iran.
Originally brought to Iran by a group of Afghan migrants, referred to by Iranians as 'Barbars'. This type of bread is a common style baked in Afghanistan. Barbari means "of or related to Barbars" in Persian. Barbars are a group of people living in Afghanistan near eastern borders of Iran. According to Dehkhoda Dictionary of Persian Language, this bread was baked by the Barbar people and was brought to Tehran, becoming popular during the Qajar period.
The term Barbari can also be used similarly in Persian for Berbers who live in and around Algeria in North Africa.
The bread is served in many restaurants with "tabriz cheese", a type of feta cheese from ewe's milk.
