Due to the rising meat prices and a drop in the number of customers, 180 restaurants in the Iranian capital of Tehran ceased their activity, Ali Asghar Mir Ebrahimi, chairman of Tehran's Union of Restaurants, told Tasnim News Agency, Trend reports.
According to Mir Ebrahimi, the prices for raw materials, including meat, chicken meat and tomato have recently risen.
