"Bandar" is a term with various meanings and uses in different contexts. In Malay, "bandar" (ejaan Jawi: باندر) refers to a large settlement or town [3]. In Hinglish, it can mean a male monkey or an impudent or mischievous man or boy [2] [4].

In the context of Persian cuisine, Bandar is a family-owned restaurant established in 1996, known for its award-winning dishes and elegant atmosphere [5]. Another restaurant, Bandar Restaurant, serves Mediterranean food with Persian spices and flavors in the Gaslamp Quarter [7].

Persian cuisine, which is exotic, healthy, and gluten-free, often includes unique Persian spices such as saffron, limes, and different vegetables [8].

It's important to note that "bandar" can also refer to a tribe, a beetle, and a port in different contexts, but those uses are not covered in the provided contexts [1].
