Babam in Frankfurt am Main

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!

‏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

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

I specially took the car to eat Fesenjān. There are not many restaurants in Germany that make this dish, and the taste did not live up to my expectations. The meat is braised to perfection, and in addition to the base flavors of pomegranate and walnuts, there are spices and rose notes that make the sauce rich but not cloyingly sweet. The restaurant decoration is bright and transparent, and the service is warm and thoughtful. A very satisfying meal.

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

Delicious food, friendly, professional service, good value for money. I had delicious lamb with eggplant and sauce, my girlfriend had a grilled skewer. It comes without sauce and is too dry for my taste. I would like seat cushions on the very hard chairs.

Ate Persian for the first time and discovered this restaurant by chance, absolutely loved it and will definitely become a regular here. Braised lamb was ordered, of incredible quality, beautifully decorated, appealing to every taste bud imaginable, with grilled vegetables (aubergine) and yoghurt dressing, plus lots of fresh herbs. The entire staff is attentive, extremely friendly and personable, excellent advice. 100 percent recommended!!!

“I had a great experience! The food was very fresh, delicious, and high-quality. The staff was extremely friendly and respectful. The atmosphere was calm and perfect for enjoying a meal. I highly recommend it!”

Everything OK Keller super accommodating. Gladly again.

Paid 18€ for this dish BADEMJAN Dish with pieces of lamb leg meat and eggplant 2 small pieces of lamb and 6 pieces of eggplant in plates 1 eggplant costs 79 cents. Very sad, I spoke to the waiter and was told I would pass it on to the chef

Fue una buena experiencia para nosotros como familia. La comida llegó rápido y nos dieron un aperitivo gratis, así que es agradable. El personal era agradable.

Everything I had was good. I wouldn’t order the dolmeh or the lemonade. The soltani and the tea at the end are very nice. I shouldn’t forget the great service I had thanks to the amazing workers at the restaurant.

It's one of the best halal foods in Frankfurt, especially there Sultani is excellent 👌 😋

It tastes so delicious - we recommend a) sharing and trying as much as possible and b) coming back!

We had an appetizer platter and a stew with lamb and beans. In terms of taste, all of the dishes were a highlight and the spices in the braised dish in particular were exceptionally perfectly balanced.

Very expensive, not worth recommending…

The most delicious lamb in Germany! Excellent fast service, I order kebab, it’s the bomb!) and inexpensive)

Great food but the ice cream was awful, it was refrozen and tasted really bad.

The best Persian in town, I'll be happy and full here. The bread here is homemade, People joke and laugh here. Last but not least, a stew, melts in your mouth - what a poem!

Good things: - staff are kind - starter and freshly baked bread is nice - they serve fast - prices are reasonable Not good things: - the decoration of restaurant is not nice at all. There is even a sink inside the eating hall to wash the hands. Very strange - the fillet kebab meat was very smelly. - location is not nice

I had a pleasant lunch at Babam in Frankfurt. The kashek bademjan was flavorful, with a nice balance of smoky eggplant and creamy yogurt. For the main dish, the kubideh was well-cooked, tender, and nicely spiced. The rice was light and paired well with the grilled tomato. The atmosphere was casual, and the service was friendly. Overall, it was a solid meal, nothing extraordinary, but definitely enjoyable. I’d return for a relaxed and satisfying lunch.

Love the food. This will be my 1st choice whenever I would travel to Frankfurt.

A restaurant recommended by a local (German food is not delicious, so he recommended me to eat Persian food 🤣) Good when you want to try different food during a long trip

Fresh bread and delicious Persian food. The atmosphere and service are great. A really nice place to dine.

Not for Pakistani people's taste. Bad experience.

There is always bread delivered to the table. The portions are plentiful and tasty. Even the rice itself is good.

We dined here with a larger group. Unfortunately, the lamb was not seasoned well at all, so the pungent taste of the lamb was very strong. Other Persian restaurants are much better in this regard. However, the chicken skewers and rice tasted good. The homemade lemonade didn't taste good at all. It was slightly bitter (because it contained grapefruit) and we didn't like the slight rose note either. That's why I'd rather go for Persian food somewhere else in Frankfurt...

We ordered Kubideh and it tasted really good! However, the onions in the kebab were a bit roughly chopped so you could feel them when chewing. The staff was very friendly and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. However, the menu displayed on Google is not up to date - the prices in the restaurant are higher. For example, the Kubideh costs 20 euros here, although it is listed as 17 euros on Google. The saffron rice was very tasty. Overall it was a positive experience that I can recommend!

This restaurant is truly the best Persian restaurant in Frankfurt. The friendly atmosphere and the hospitable attitude of the employees were extremely impressive. Everything was just perfect

Wow... We were here at lunchtime. Simply delicious and authentic. Will definitely come back. The homemade bread is one of my highlights. Price performance 1+

Very good service and super tasty Persian dishes. Highly recommended.

I can rate the food as good and service as satisfactory (although the staff was nice, but unfortunately I completely forgot to bring the soup as a starter) but the place and ambience were unfortunately poor and tasteless.

The best Iranian food I have tasted!

Very tasty food and friendly staff

We went here for a quick dinner. They allowed us in with a small well behaved Jack Russell. The staff are friendly, attentive and professional. We really enjoyed the food, you can taste the quality of the ingredients

A great canteen with gluten-free dishes (the falafel salad and hummus plate in particular)

Very good kubbideh. I'm looking forward to other dishes.

Fantastic food and a great staff! I went for lunch and had the Ash Reshte, Fesenjoon, and Dudje kabab. Their fresh lavash bread is great. All of it was perfectly cooked and the portions were more than enough for all three of us. Their house made saffron drink was amazing as well, one of a kind! One of my absolute favorite spots in Frankfurt!

Excellent... Share your plates to get a variety of amazing flavours

Excelente cocina en un entorno informal. Nos quedamos tan impresionados que pasamos dos noches seguidas! Nos gustaron especialmente los aperitivos mixtos y el pollo en una brocheta con arroz. Servicio amable, servicial y bastante razonable. Muy recomendable!

It was our first time there, I had fesinjan stew with rice , my sister had meat and rice The food was very good , however we felt it was overpriced, we paid ~€70 for two people for only two main courses and two non alcoholic drinks

The food and service were excellent, although the portions were too large. But when I paid by credit card I was supposed to pay a large tip. This may be common in the USA. In Europe the staff should be paid properly! So the management disappointed me in the end.

The restaurant is centrally located in Frankfurt between the main train station and the theater. The furnishings are functionally modern but give the impression of a snack bar and fast food restaurant. But the prices are more like those for a normal restaurant. (hence the ambience deductions). Food was good. I'm not a specialist in Persian cuisine, but I found a minced lamb skewer with rice where the rice was very, very dry without any sauce.

Good Iranian restaurant in Frankfurt. I have been a few times there and the food has always been good. Fresh bred is available and the service is good.

Tasty, fair price, shared starter for 2 excellent value

Simply wonderful food!!! Fresh, prepared with detail and really tasty. We want to come back.

Authentic and fantastic service

This is above average persian resturant in frankfurt. The was much better around 6 month ago.

KhoshMazeh is expensive and nothing

Great Persian food from the appetizers to the deserts. The kabobs are juicy and the rice is delicious. The service is also great. Great option for halal Persian food in Frankfurt.

Fuimos allí con colegas para cenar. La comida era muy sabrosa y apta también para vegetarianos y sin gluten. El equipo fue amable.

Babam is a very good Persian restaurant in the heart of Frankfurt. We had several eggplant appetizers and the salad which were all very good. The homemade bread and pickles we're incredible. Draft beer and wine options on the menu. I had chicken dish, shirin polo ba morgh and it was very good and generous portions. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Delicious food and tidy work, thanks

Fresh warm bread, a very tasty appetizer platter and two dishes that tasted so different than anything we had ever eaten. And in an absolutely positive sense. 100% recommendation.

I love this place! The food is amazing, nice homemade bread and their aubergine dip is soo good! Also very friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend.

It was very good. Actually, as always. We had two lamb shanks, a chicken skewer and a vegetarian dish. Everything perfect! The service is great too!

I really enjoyed the dinner, especially the kabab kubide and the barg, the service is very good and friendly, I recommend you to try it👌🏻👌🏻😋

An unforgettable culinary experience! Each bite transports us directly to Iran thanks to authentic, delicate cuisine full of flavors. Saffron, almond, orange and many other spices are used with a finesse that delights the taste buds. Special mention for the homemade bread, which is simply divine! The ambiance and service add to the experience, making this place warm and welcoming. An essential address for those looking to travel without leaving Frankfurt. Well done to the whole team!

I ate there last Friday. The main course was very good, but the mini salad without salt and oil was disappointing and far too expensive for €7. Prices generally too high. Nevertheless, I can recommend it.

Very friendly staff and delicious food.

I didn’t realise how good this restaurant was until we went there. Lovely fresh flavours, helpful friendly staff, good range of choices for vegetarians. The freshly made flat bread is amazing.

Authentic Persian cuisine with super-friendly service. An absolute recommendation!

Classic Persian cuisine. Really good service at that.

Authentic Persian cuisine with super-friendly service. Always happy 😊

I was on vacation visiting some friends in Frankfurt, Needed to do some shopping before going back to my friends, When I ran into this place I felt nostalgic, And I also had to admit, it felt good to be able to use my Farsi to talk to people, because every time I tried to speak German nothing came out of my throat, The food and drinks were nice and it really brought be back on a trip of memory lane eating the food my parents would make or hearing stories from when my parents lived in Iran.

Prices raised. Food very tasty!

Everything is good. The food is good. I advise Iraqis and Arabs to buy kebab from him. It is called Aderna Kebab. Its price is 18 euros, but it is amazing and the ayran milk is good. Everything is good.

Great service, very tasty food. Highly recommended. Gladly again

Gran experiencia, buena comida y gran servicio. Tenemos que esperar unos 20 minutos para conseguir una mesa, pero eso era comprensible, y vale la pena esperar. La comida era deliciosa, porción generosa, personal atento. Gracias.

Fast service, very tasty cuisine.

Excellent Persian (Iranian) restaurant, the food is fresh and delicious They serve hot and fresh bread The service is excellent and the staff are highly efficient I highly recommend it

An amazing find in central Frankfurt, close to the business district. Delicious food, excellent service and clearly a kitchen that knows how to cook! We had the starters plate, the lemonade and the Bademjan; one with aubergines and the other with lamb. Everything was excellent. Loved the presentation and the small gestures of generous lime/ lemon, cheese and garnishes. Will definitely visit them, next time I'm in Frankfurt.

Overpriced, hair found in the food. 3 stars for the food. But staff was friendly.

The kebab here is simply fantastic – juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The meat quality is top, the spices harmonize perfectly and the portions are generous. The side dishes such as fresh vegetables and fluffy bread were also delicious. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. If you're looking for a really good kebab, you've come to the right place. I'll definitely be back!”

Super delicious food and very friendly service. Good price-performance ratio. Worth it❤️

The Persian food tastes very tasty. We really got to know it five years ago at BABAM. Since then, however, portions have become smaller and prices have risen significantly.

Ambience chic. The homemade bread was so delicious. Homemade lemonade as well. The skewers were delicious, but the rice was unfortunately dry. Still a great restaurant.

Fantastic food and service. Tried out Persian food after a very, very long time. Was so happy we came here. The bread with cheese, herbs and the mint chutney was fabulous. The kababs were so tender and tasty, yummy. The meat curry with rice was flavorful and tender. Loved it. Wish we had more time here to try more dishes. Despite it being a rush time, packed with customers, the servers were genuinely helpful and very nice.

Wir zu dritt dort. Leider war es wieder extrem laut. Finde das Preis/Leistung passt nicht. Im Ingwer Minze Tee waren drei dünne Scheiben Ingwer. Der Falafel Humus Teller ist stark Ausbaufähig.

Hospitality! Great ambience, sumptuous dishes - gladly again!
