Babam in Frankfurt am Main

Friendly staff, Very nice chicken skewer and delicious Koobideh, tasty Shirin polo and zereshk polo.

I’ve tried three restaurants in Germany, and honestly, this one is the best! I highly recommend it — the rice, kebab, and yogurt are truly delicious. If you’re in Frankfurt, you must try this restaurant and enjoy the food. I’ve tried three restaurants in Germany, and honestly, this one is the best!

Delicious Persian dishes, friendly and attentive staff.

We were regulars at this restaurant for many years. Unfortunately, we had very bad experiences on our last visits. In 2024, the service was unfriendly; there were seven of us and we weren't allowed to use two tables – two children even had to share a chair. In 2025, when we sat outside and later moved inside, the waiter treated us very disrespectfully. Therefore, we left the restaurant without ordering. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

We had a wonderful experience at Babam Persian Restaurant. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented – every dish tasted authentic and reminded us of true Persian home cooking. What really stood out was the service. The staff were not only attentive but also incredibly kind and welcoming, especially with our kids. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, which made the evening so much more enjoyable. A great spot for families and anyone who wants to enjoy delicious Persian food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Really good place. Attentive service. Food came out quick and was fresh and delicious. Staff even gave us a couple of complimentary drinks. Really worth visiting in Frankfurt.

Just tried this random persian restaurant and amazed by the quality of food and service. The lamb stake was tender, and rice dish with safran was delicious, highly recommended if someone wants to eat heavy food 🫠

We're always greeted very warmly, and the food is top-notch. I can recommend it anytime.

We were loyal guests of this restaurant for many years – after our last visit, never again. On August 24, I found a sharp piece of plastic in my food and even partially swallowed it. My throat was sore for days, I had to cough, and I'm honestly glad I didn't choke or injure myself more seriously. I immediately showed the incident to the waiter, who apologized. I don't know if the manager was informed – he was in the restaurant, but he didn't apologize personally or show any kind of leniency. This kind of handling of a dangerous incident is absolutely unacceptable to me. We are not only disappointed, but appalled – as long-time customers, we will definitely never return!

Simply delicious, fresh, superb quality, and incredibly friendly service. Overall, 10/10.

Here you can find the best Persian food in all of Germany!

Loved everything about Babam! The staff was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. The interior is simple, modern, and cozy. We ordered the Djudje and Bamieh, and both dishes were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The freshly baked bread that comes for free was simply amazing. Prices are fair for the quality, portions are generous, and you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Definitely one of the best spots in Frankfurt for Persian food!

The restaurant is delicious, the meat is never overcooked, the rice is good, the staff are friendly, I recommend it

Delicious kubideh sandwich to go, the ash reshte was very tasty

Really good food. Not standard fare, but with culinary refinement. Not cheap, but worth the price.

The restaurant is excellent, the staff are friendly, and the food is wonderful — both the meats as well as the vegetables and salads. The best part is the Iranian saffron rice. I will definitely come to this restaurant often when I return to Frankfurt

The food was good and the staff were really kind 🙏🏻

Yesterday, we were a family of 14, and everything at Babam Restaurant was incredible! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was outstanding, and the staff were wonderful. I wish all Persian restaurants had the same amazing taste—truly the best in Germany!

Very good food. Dish: Eggplant and lamb with rice. I'll be back. There were six of us, and everyone was very satisfied.

Best kobedih kabab i have ever i go there every time when i fly to frankfurt

I chose Salad Oloviyeh (Persian-style potato salad) for my starter, and actually ordered from a restaurant for the first time in my life (I usually only like my own), and it tasted really great. My wife had Ashreshte, which was prepared exactly as she did, but the kashk wasn't optimal, as we're used to. Lamb skewers (koobideh) for the main course were perfect. I had them with freshly made flatbread and she had basmati rice. The ambiance and decor were rather simple, but good and clean. Service gets a 10 out of 5. Thank you very much, see you as soon as I'm back in France.

The food was really tasty. They served it with fresh bread that they baked in the oven right there. The staff were friendly. We told them we were in a hurry because of our train, and they prepared the food very quickly. Really appreciated that.

The best Iranian restaurant in the world The kebabs, ribs, and okra stew are amazing And the shabzi too

When in Frankfurt (2-3 times a year), head to Babam, Persian cuisine at its finest. Whatever you order, it's authentic, delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The hummus appetizer was the finest. The main course was a scampi/meat dish with sweet pomegranate cream, exceptional and delicious. The service was always competent and polite, and the hospitality was outstanding. Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended – outstanding food and first-class service! I've been to the Persian restaurant Babam on Münchner Straße several times and I'm always impressed – especially by the excellent service from waiter Farshid Mohammadi. He impresses with genuine warmth, professionalism, and remarkable attentiveness. As a guest, you feel completely seen and appreciated. The dishes are an absolute delight: The meat is of outstanding quality – tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The shish kebab is especially recommended. The vegetables, rice, and side dishes are always fresh and perfectly balanced in flavor. Everything is served with attention to detail. For me, there's no better place for Persian cuisine on the entire Münchner Straße. If you value quality, hospitality, and a harmonious ambience, this is the place for you. Many thanks to the entire team—especially Farshid—for this culinary experience! I'll definitely be back.

Authentic, delicious, and very friendly. A wide selection of Persian cuisine. It's best to ask for advice from the friendly staff. The fresh, homemade flatbread is simply fantastic.

The food was delicious and our waiter was friendly even though she doesn’t speak english and we don’t speak german , used translate and she waited patiently for us to write and order ❤️

Food was not good. Service was alright so was the atmosphere.

10/10 persian food - love their basil seed lemonade, too!

Perfect. Service great, food great. Atmosphere inside makes you forget you’re close to the train station. Anytime again

Delicious food + very good service 😇

Persia Authentic selection of dishes Good value for money Spice-packed food Wine available with meals Very friendly and accommodating staff Practical atmosphere Simple, clean restrooms Busy

The prices are very high, the workers are very respectful, and the food is average, not something unique, so the bill would be this high.

It's really delicious. The toasted sesame cake with Sabzi Khordan and Feta is so fragrant, and the hummus is also delicious. The service is also very enthusiastic, and I can eat full and happy every time.

If u want a real Iranian food and specially kabab in any form u should visit Babam , the kababs are really high quality and tasty its really comparable with best Iranian restaurants in iran itself

Good food but the prices are too high

Very good food and friendly service; I'd be happy to come back. The food arrived very quickly in the evening, which suited me just fine.

I had the pleasure of visiting a Persian restaurant, and I can only say it was an outstanding experience. The food was incredibly delicious—every bite was a feast for the senses. The flavors of the different dishes harmonized perfectly, showcasing the diversity of Persian cuisine. The restaurant's location was also impressive. It was tastefully decorated and created a welcoming atmosphere that enhanced the overall experience. I would especially like to mention the staff. They were extremely attentive and friendly, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Their service was prompt and professional, and they were always attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit!

The food is always first-class, the quality impresses time and time again. The service is always friendly, attentive, and courteous. We love eating there on Sundays.

No reservations but we still got a place for 9 people at 1930 and the place did fill up quickly. Food was amazing! Service is top notch! I ordered braised chicken with some really delicious rice (I will attach a photo of it). Absolutely recommend it because I am Asian, and I didn’t know you could do rice like THAT! The chicken was tender and so well-made I still think of it the days after. Do try it out. One of the best Persian restaurants in Frankfurt (and I have tried 4 so far)!

This Persian spot? Delicious. One of my friends told me she hits this place every time she's in town for work and honestly, I couldn't agree more. Totally get why it's her go-to. The homemade lemonade? Absolute bomb. Super refreshing, just the right amount of sweetness might be worth coming here for that alone. If you love lamb, you're in for a treat. They know what they're doing. Their falafel and hummus? On point. Creamy, crispy, flavorful all the good stuff. The grilled veggies were done perfectly too just enough char to get that savory, roasted smell that makes your mouth water. Also gotta shout out the small but genius detail: they've got a sink outside the bathrooms so you can wash your hands without playing hide and seek with the restroom. Love that. Atmosphere and lighting were great, super chill but still felt classy. Definitely a spot worth coming back to business trip or not.

Delicious traditional dishes, all freshly prepared and served with a smile.

Absolutely loved BaBam in Frankfurt! The food was incredibly delicious – full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I was really impressed with how quick and friendly the service was. Everything from the atmosphere to the presentation was on point. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the city and craving something tasty. Will definitely come back!

I did not like the food. May God continue to bless us.

"Babam" is a delicious Persian restaurant with super friendly staff. A young employee at the cash register gave us great tips on what to order – especially helpful since we only had an hour for lunch. He helped us order quickly and was very friendly. The sharing appetizer platter was a real highlight – fresh, varied, and incredibly delicious. The homemade lemonade was also very refreshing, and the saffron pudding for dessert was simply divine. We'll definitely be back!

Topical Iranian food. Delicious with free appetizers Iranian bread. Kobida with rice was great.

Delicious, highly recommended. There's also a large selection of vegetarian dishes. The service is very friendly.

The food is delicious ! Highly recommend!!

Great authentic persian cuisine in town centre walking distance from the cathedral in the direction of central station We came 2days in a row...food is soo good like home cooked meals with right flavors and acceptable prices for Germany The waiters are very friendly, especially farshieed It has a multi language menu Don't miss the kobbedah and the fresh baked tandoori bread u can see them baking for u And of course the tea is a must to close the meal

Very, very fresh food, you just feel good afterwards, I don't need to say more, top!

Extremely warm and welcoming people, and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!!!!!! If you are vegan or vegetarian, so many options that you never can find anywhere! I can confidently say this is the best and most flavorful Persian restaurant in Europe. This was our second time visiting, and we specifically chose to end our trip here, just to enjoy these amazing dishes once more.

They are all nice, and I am thinking of coming back again.

Yesterday I accidentally ended up in this restaurant and was very happy about it! The food is exceptionally tasty, the lamb is excellent, the dishes are magnificent, the drink DUG is delicious. The service is excellent, Persian hospitality. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

Everything perfect, highly recommended

Best hummus and Falafel in Frankfurt

The food was delicious and fresh, the service was attentive and quick. The price was a bit steep, but overall I was very satisfied. I'd gladly return, and thank you for everything.

Excellent food, good, fast food and very friendly customer service.

A very tasty lunch. The vegetarian dish and hummus are especially recommended.

Excellence im Service and value for Money

The Borani Bademjan and the grilled meats were my favorite! I love Persian food and it's one of my go-to food wherever I am in the world. A lot won't get it right, but I think Babam does, as far as the ones I have tried is concerned. Nothing fancy but it's about the food.

Everything was good especially the fresh and warm bread was delicious also the food was delicious. But the size of the Dogh was really small compare to to the price

Quality and service a disaster. I advise you to go there. I definitely ate Persian better in Frankfurt!!!! There's a chicken drumstick there. Are you crazy? To save meat, a dry bone was placed on my plate. When I told the waiter this, he blatantly lied to my face and said we always do it that way. Understood! Since when do you put a piece of bone on your plate? Of course, very clever to fill the contents of the plate! In addition, the minced meat skewer is formed so thinly on the skewer to save even more meat. I paid 25 euros for that! Never again. I also noticed guests in the restaurant who were dissatisfied with the food. The service wasn't the best either. The good waiter drinks a beer in front of the guests, stands around and there was no talk of friendliness. All in all, you save your money and eat somewhere else instead.

Great food, mix of snack bar and restaurant, very authentic and recommended

Very good food. Lamb chops are amazing!

Great food & service. Recommend the mixed starter to share between 2 people, very good variety of tasty bites. Well set up to help English speaking tourists also (staff & menu).

Disastrous service - never again! After our food was finally delivered after over two hours - completely ice cold - I first called the restaurant directly. I wasn't offered any solution there. The driver then contacted the manager (Ali) - and what followed was unbelievable: instead of trying to find a solution, we were simply offered to send the food back. No replacement, no accommodation - nothing. What was particularly shocking was the manager's disrespectful and aggressive tone when dealing with us as customers. Such behavior is completely unacceptable. Stay away - absolutely not recommended!

Katastrophaler Service – nie wieder! After über two hours, our food was finally delivered - completely cold - I had to call the restaurant directly. Dort wurde mir keinerlei Lösung angeboten. Der Fahrer kontaktierte daraphin den Geschäftsführer (Ali) – und was dann folgte, war unfassbar: Statt sich um eine Lösung zu bemühen, bot man uns echtlich an, das Essen zurückzuschicken. Kein Ersatz, kein Entgegenkommen - nichts. Besonders erschreckend war der respektlose und aggressive Ton des Geschäftsführers im Umgang mit uns als Kunden. So ein Verhalten ist völlig inakzeptabel. Finger weg – absolut nicht emfehnelswert! After 2 hours, the whole food was cold and inedible and sent to me. After talking to the restaurant with no results, the driver aggressively called the restaurant manager (Ali) and he, in complete disrespect and irresponsibility, only offered me to send the food back!!!! I will never recommend such a poor and unprofessional restaurant to anyone who does not accept their service mistakes.

Whether you’re Persian or not, it doesn’t matter. This place serves some of the most delicious food you will ever try. For us, being far from home, it was more than just a meal, it was a truly memorable experience. The flavors were authentic and rich, just like the original Persian food we grew up with. Every bite reminded us of home. We felt welcomed, cared for, and completely satisfied. Highly recommended!

The food is good and delicious but the prices are relatively high

Delicious, very tasty and really great team and service Thank you 🙏 ❤️ ❤️

The food was okay. Of course I compared it to the Persian restaurants I already know. The most important thing was missing from the starter: the onion. I know that it is always included with the herb plate. I still prefer KOLBE in Wiesbaden in terms of price performance

Very tasty meat and great value for money. It is definitely recommended!

The food was delicious and the service was first class. If you like Persian cuisine and are in Frankfurt, I can only recommend going there.

Best quality, delicious drink, kabab barg tastes like home 🥰❤️ Happy to be here again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have an incredible 4 (!!!) Persian restaurants in my city and each time I have to drive 60 km so that I can eat at Babam. Words cannot describe how good the food tastes here. It takes a poet ala Hafez or philosopher to describe the taste and quality in this restaurant. No matter what you order from the menu: everything tastes incredibly good. I usually order Mirza Ghazemi as a starter and Sultani as my main course. But now I just try every dish on the menu. It doesn't matter what you order: everything tastes damn good... Absolutely crazy! But that's not all, dear friends: No matter when you eat here, there are always 3 to 5 people working in the kitchen. I go to the bathroom to wash my hands and my food is already on the table when I come back. It doesn't matter how full the store is. That alone is worth 5 stars. I feel sorry for the people who walk past on the street and have no idea what they are missing. Without exaggerating, I can confirm 100% that this is the best Persian in Europe. Yes in Europe. I've eaten with Persians in Turkey, Greece, Georgia and France: no shop comes close to Babam. After every meal I would love to run into the kitchen and kiss the chefs' hands. I wish the people of Frankfurt would appreciate this pearl in the city more. Only negative point: I have to drive 60 km so I can eat here. Now I need a new apartment in Frankfurt. Baba Dametun Garm!

An absolute insider tip in Frankfurt! The Persian food was extremely delicious – fresh, aromatic and really authentic. The service was super friendly, the food came quickly and the atmosphere was pleasant and warm. You can immediately tell that the cooking here is made with love. Definitely worth a visit – I’d love to come back!

Excellent food, very professional and friendly service! A jewel of a restaurant in the Frankfurt station district!

‏The food was really tasty, I had Chelokebab Kubideh and was totally satisfied! Great quality, well seasoned, and the rice was also great. ‏The staff was very friendly and attentive, you immediately feel at home. ‏A few things could be improved: The room was quite dark and the plastic chairs took away from the cozy atmosphere. Maybe the ambience could be made a little more cheerful, a little music in the background would definitely help too. ‏What I also noticed: There's a lot of noise coming in from outside. If you can find a solution for this, the experience would be even better. ‏But overall: I would love to come back

My experience was awful. I ordered zereshk polo with dough to take away. I waited more than thirty minutes. The quality of food was terrible. The chicken was not cooked very well and they forgot to put dough in my bag. I paid it without taking it. It is my last time to take something from this resturant

I wasn't happy at all. The waiter set the pay machine so that I had to pay an extra tip.😠Besides that, the waiter put us in a dark room full of barbecue smoke

Food was super tasty. Clear recommendation!

Food was very good. I wouldn't need anything more.

The BaBam was recommended by several friends and I have to say that it is really worth every visit! We had a starter platter and various main courses, all of which tasted excellent. My personal highlight was the absolutely perfect lamb! The service is excellent and the people are all very accommodating and friendly. Certainly not our last visit there!

The pure hammer. Super tasty, super fresh. Pure energy. Fantastic food, attentive but not intrusive service. Price-performance ratio is completely fine. Great, nice and relaxed atmosphere. You can look into the clean kitchen. Then another greeting came from the kitchen. Cool!!! Want to go back.

Excelente comida y servicio. Realmente disfrutamos del Humus y los pinchos de pollo / cordero. El servicio fue muy amable y rápido. Sin duda volvería.

Absolute top restaurant for Persian cuisine. Have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Portions are very generous and prices are reasonable for the food. Of course the location has a somewhat negative impact on the ambience, but the restaurant itself is not responsible for external influences. Clear recommendation! (Especially for vegetarians / vegans, as there is a very large selection of these same dishes here)

The food is good but our waiter was really rude. The restaurant was packed and we were asking him if it was possible to pick a booth as it would more comfortable for my elderly grandmother. To which he started scolding us that the table is too small for three people. I wouldn’t recommend it or go there again unless the behavior of the wait staff changes :/

Good Iranian Food, nice place, helpful staff

Large menu, everything delicious and good quality...metal chairs...noisy snack bar atmosphere...

The prices are very expensive and the taste of the food is not delicious. I do not recommend it

Super delicious! We had an eggplant starter and sandwiches. The fresh bread is the best 🤩

We visited the restaurant for the first time and chose Kebab Koobideh. Unfortunately the kebab was extremely disappointing - it was neither tasty nor juicy. It tasted almost entirely of onions, as if it were made solely from onions. However, the surprise came with the bill: We had ordered a mixed starter plate, the menu said “for 2 people or more” for €10.50. The price seemed like it was for two people. But when the bill came, we suddenly had to pay €21! When we asked, they explained to us that the price was per person. So we ended up paying the price of a main course for something that wasn't even a full meal!

We visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered Kabab Koobideh. To be honest, I have never eaten such a tasteless and watery kebab in all my years in Germany. It tasted almost exclusively of onions, as if it were made only from them. And then came the surprise: We had also ordered a mixed starter plate, where the menu said rather unclearly from 2 people, with a price of €10.50. It looked like that was the total price for two people. But in the end we were charged €21! When we asked, they simply said: 'Yes, that's per person.' :/ So we basically paid the price of a main course - for something that wasn't even real food!

Everything was really great. The food was amazing, the service was great!

Preis Leistung stimmt nicht überein . Habe für 2 Speisen mit Trinkgeld ohne Getränke 80 Euro bezahlt . Kebab war trocken und der Reis mehr als Kebab. Bestelle nicht mehr online da 10 Euro für die Lieferung verlangt wird und das Essen immer kalt ankommt .

Best Persian food I have ever eaten. The service is very attentive and friendly. Very good value for money. We'd love to come back!

Chicken almost fell off the bone. Super delicious! Nice service.

Very tasty Persian food. Service was great. The restaurant itself doesn't invite you to linger for a long time, as it is very loud and somewhat uncomfortable. I can still highly recommend it.

Had Persian food for the first time today, it tasted great. I will definitely recommend it!
