From lotions to libations (wine that is), and family sharing Persian foods, Susan Roghani regales listeners with stories one might see on a streaming show featuring international restaurants and chefs. Roghani’s Restaurant began service of foods inspired by family and Persia in April. The new dishes are layered in flavors that cause a delightful slowing down and savoring of ingredients that might prompt you to want to make the meal last forever. With a menu that offers the possibility of nine dining courses, visitors may want to protect hours to fully experience Roghani’s.
Hidden inside the elegant Chateau des Fleurs in Eagle, Idaho, Roghani’s Restaurant offers more than just a place to eat—it offers a chance to connect. Guests are welcomed into a cozy, art-filled dining room where ornate chandeliers, natural light, and the peaceful hum of classical music set the stage for a thoughtful, European-inspired meal. Seasonal produce from the family’s own garden and orchard is woven into each course. Wines from the Roghani family’s Snake River Valley vineyards add a local touch to the experience.
Susan Camille Beckman graduated from Weiser High School. With a knack for making lotions, Susan founded Camille Beckman in 1986 to create local jobs. Camille Beckman’s products still flow from the Eagle factory to stores and customers around the world.
Following her desire to help others, share meals, and make memorable products and experiences, Susan, her husband Foad Roghani, their daughter, and now extended family work together to care for each other and for the businesses they continue to build. With seven generations calling Idaho home, you might recognize these family names: Spraque; Dodd; Whiffin; Bullock; Beckman; Roghani; and Ishaq.
Their dream? A place where flavors, stories, and people gather—where every course carries a memory, and every memory lingers like a fine glass of wine.
