Benatis persisches internationales Restaurant / Catering in Hannover

We had our Christmas party there and were completely satisfied. That's saying something, considering there were seven of us. The food was perfect, as expected, and everything was freshly prepared. I can't comment on the wait time. We all had appetizers, which were served promptly. Since we wanted to relax and had plenty of time, a longer wait would have been perfectly fine. The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is comfortably furnished, and what I took as a good sign was that we were the only Germans. Everyone else was a Persian (Iranian) family. So the food had to be good. We'll be back, and I've already recommended it several times here in Hameln. Best regards, K. Stange

Restaurant Benatis impresses us every time. The atmosphere is very chic yet cozy, making you feel instantly at ease. We always receive a warm and friendly welcome, and the quality of the food is outstanding. The Kasse kebab is our absolute favorite. The value for money is also excellent, which is why we keep coming back.

It's a shame there were no side dishes. The meals had an extremely high amount of rice and very few vegetables.

It was really lovely and very pleasant. There's plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. I highly recommend it!

An unassuming Persian restaurant. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are very large. The food is tasty. The interior could be a bit cozier. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive.

We celebrated a wedding there, and the following day we had lunch together. The service was excellent, and the quality of the food was unbeatable. Highly recommended, and I will definitely visit again as soon as I'm back in Hanover.

I celebrated my wedding here – it was the best night of my life. Thank you, Banatis.

The Djujeh kebab smelled so bad it was inedible, and the kebabs were burnt. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I bought four portions of food on November 8, 2025, at 3 PM, brought them home, and we had to throw everything away.

The food is very good, the owner is courteous, friendly. The best Iranian food in Hanover

It's very beautiful like every thing there.

I arrived in Hanover from Rostock today and discovered this new Persian restaurant by chance. I was truly surprised by how authentic, loving, and high-quality everything was – from the aroma of the saffron rice to the beautiful presentation of the dishes. You immediately sense that the cooking here is done with passion and a lot of work. As someone who runs a restaurant myself, I can say: This is one of the best Persian restaurants in Germany! A huge compliment to the entire team – highly recommended.

This is truly the best Iranian restaurant in Hannover! The food was absolutely fresh, delicious and unique. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service was simply excellent. I can highly recommend it to everyone! This is truly the best Iranian restaurant in Hannover! The food was absolutely fresh, delicious and unique.

The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The food was perfectly prepared and of excellent quality. This is a highly recommended and reasonably priced restaurant. We would be happy to return. Thank you very much.

Extremely delicious Large portions Very cozy Friendly service I'll be back! Definitely a must!

Definitely an insider tip! A super nice, family-run restaurant with authentic Persian food. I had the chick peas and highly recommend it! (Weekends only) The prices are completely reasonable.

I can say with complete conviction that this is one of the best Iranian restaurants in Hanover. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I've been a regular since this restaurant opened and have never regretted it.

I was there with my group. The food was very tasty and friendly, polite service and a very pleasant place 👌

It's a shame I can't give more than 5 stars. I've finally found a regular Persian restaurant for us again after many years. Back when we lived in Hanover, we went to a different restaurant almost every day, but unfortunately, the owner changed a few years ago, and so did the quality. Since then, we've been here and there, but rarely have we been completely satisfied. Since we live about 60 km away and today was my birthday, I ordered food to pick up. For anyone coming from farther away and worried about it getting cold on the way home, I can tell you: After 45 minutes, it's still at the perfect temperature thanks to the great packaging. The portions are great, and the food tastes very good, too. You won't miss anything you'd expect from Iran. We will definitely order again and come by from time to time.

A culinary insider tip with heart – Restaurant Benatis in Hanover Benatis impresses with an exceptional combination of Persian cuisine, Mediterranean, and international specialties – prepared fresh and with attention to detail. Authentic Persian cuisine of the highest quality. The service is also warm and personal. Highly recommended.

Top persian Restaurant Great personal and amazing food! Best persian Restaurant in Hannover

Fantastic place, good food and kind host. Preparing your order can take more than usual but because food is great the this waiting worth it .

We discovered this restaurant during a short trip and were pleasantly surprised. At first glance, we were hesitant because it looked like a tennis clubhouse. But inside, it was very nicely decorated, and we felt comfortable. The menu is extensive. While it took quite a while for the food to arrive, it shows that everything is freshly prepared. The food was fantastic. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Very friendly service and delicious food... We'll be happy to come back....🤗

You'd never guess that such a fantastic restaurant is located on the tennis club grounds. The food was so incredibly delicious. The service was excellent. Despite a large group, everyone received their hot meals and the a la carte menu at the same time. The prices are truly amazing for these fantastic dishes. You should try them.

The service was particularly friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 😊

Fantastic good food with good service! A gem in Hannover, I think. The portions are so big that 2 can help themselves to one! And the prices are very good!

The food is very good; I can recommend it if you like Persian cuisine. Unfortunately, there's no delivery service, but it doesn't matter for good food.

Great place, centrally located but quiet and surrounded by greenery. Delicious Persian cuisine, friendly service. The vegetarian starters were delicious. The meat skewers for the neighboring table looked fantastic.

I was absolutely thrilled!!! The food was not only beautifully presented, but also a real treat in terms of taste. The portions were generous, the quality was top-notch, and the service was very friendly and attentive.

There is nothing more to say than "TOP"

Very green location. Super nice. Fast service and very good value for money. Anytime again.

Delicious food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. I was completely satisfied.

This was our second time there, and I have to say, it was simply fantastic. The food was delicious and prepared with lots of love. A lovely family business. We'd love to come back.

Super delicious, authentic Persian cuisine. This is our third time here and we will enjoy the food here many more times. 👌👌👌👌👌👌

The food and service are always top notch 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Very tasty and authentic food at a fair price 🙌🏻

5 stars – simply perfect!💫 We entrusted our engagement with all catering, food, design and service to this wonderful restaurant - and it was better than we could have ever imagined! Everything was thought out down to the smallest detail and beautifully implemented. The team was incredibly friendly, flexible and professional. Our wishes were not only fulfilled, but exceeded. The food was a dream, the presentation loving and stylish – simply beautiful! Thank you so much for this unforgettable day!

Hello everyone, we were there on May 11th. here. The food tasted very good. The service was very good. The atmosphere outside is very idyllic. We'd love to come back!😊👍🏻

Today I ordered food to pick up here for the first time. It was delicious and I would love to come back 🙂👍

5 stars – absolutely thrilled! Visually and taste simply great! We were totally surprised - the food was excellent, beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was friendly and attentive. Clear recommendation!

10/10! Very very tasty authentic Persian food! Since I discovered the restaurant I have been going there regularly with friends! The atmosphere outside in the garden is really nice!

The food was very tasty, even if the price was a bit high. The quality of the food was excellent - everything looked fresh and appetizing. The environment was clean and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We ordered Baghali Polo with Mahiche and a Soltani. For dessert we had saffron ice cream with faludeh – everything was really delicious. We'd love to come back!

Great food and top service. I probably eat here once a week and everything is always great!

Yes definitely Very good Persian cuisine. Highly recommended.

Best Persian Restaurant in the city

Very, very tasty, not overly seasoned. I will definitely order here again.

We were very happy to see a new Persian restaurant in Hanover. But unfortunately, the staff were completely overwhelmed. We had to wait an hour and a half (!) for our food. We practically had to force drinks, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten any more after the first round. So, unfortunately, the service was blatantly lacking. The food itself was okay, though. We won't be coming back.

Romantic atmosphere with oriental elements❤️

We were very surprised at how good the food is. Big recommendation.

Incredibly delicious food. The best Persian restaurant in Hanover. Very nice restaurant and nice staff.

We are originally from Berlin and had to spend the night in Hanover. Since my husband is Iranian, we thought we would go for Persian food. The restaurant is very hidden but very stylish and you feel very welcome. The food was also impressive, it was fantastic. I love Persian cuisine Everything was perfect 👌🏼 If we're in the area again we'll come back 😇 Mamnun

Simply great and delicious food. I recommend. We always eat Persian grill there.

I was there for the first time with my wife and we were both thrilled. The food was delicious and the boss was super nice, it was very easy to chat. The restaurant is very stylishly furnished and is bright and cozy thanks to the many windows. We will definitely come back and can highly recommend the Persian Restaurant..!!

We celebrated our son's first birthday at this restaurant and everything was great! The service was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. Thank you for the great experience!

The Iranian food was wonderful, the staff were friendly, and the dishes were delicious.

Good food in a pleasant atmosphere… with a fireplace and very attentive service…

We first came here last summer after a Google search. Just a quick pizza in the beautiful beer garden. We were very hungry after a long day of hiking and so we didn't dare try the Persian dishes due to our lack of knowledge. What was brought to the neighboring tables during our stay looked very interesting. Our pizza was different than the Italian, but very good. Benatis remained in the back of his mind. When we met up with friends for dinner, we suggested Benatis. Something different...Persian cuisine. Today there were five of us there. Friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. Everyone ordered Persian dishes and without exception were enthusiastic. We had the starter variation, Kabab Kubideh, Djudjeh Kabab, Baghali Polo Mahicheh and the Benatis plate. I had the Djudjeh Kabab. The chicken was spicy and deliciously grilled, the tomatoes were juicy and the rice was sensationally good. Everyone was very satisfied, i.e. the Persian cuisine impressed with its taste and quality. Recommended! We'd love to come back.

We had dinner there yesterday. Pleasant, stylish ambience and feel-good atmosphere. Lovely service and advice. The food was excellent and an experience for the taste buds. We'll definitely come back. Great recommendation!

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is also very cozy Always my pleasure

Very cozy restaurant with nice employees😍. Food are very tasty

Everything is just perfect! The employees and the food and the place! Just wonderful!😍

I recently had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant. Despite a group of over 40 people, the team was well organized, the service was efficient and the food was served quickly and hot. The atmosphere was pleasant and the employees managed to fulfill all requests professionally despite the rush. A big compliment to the entire team – everything is really right here! I'd love to come back.

All ingredients are fresh, quite Persian recipe, polite personal, perfect service and food.

Went there for the first time today and it was super tasty...service was very attentive and friendly.. I'll definitely be back...thank you for the lovely evening LG

Solid Persian cuisine. Appetizer variation top

Just wow! From service to ambience simply perfect and fantastic. Price performance is also very, very good! I'd love to come back.

The quality and taste of the food, the prices and the behavior of the staff are excellent. We have come to this restaurant several times on the recommendation of friends and will continue to come here and recommend it to our friends. A pleasant and quiet atmosphere to spend time with family and friends. Many thanks to the friendly staff, especially Ms. Pone who is very patient and friendly.

Very nice restaurant, delicious food, fair prices and great service. An insider tip.

Super delicious food - friends and family were totally thrilled and satisfied! Top price-performance ratio. Keep it up!

Excellent service at reasonable prices, thank you Everything was super, we had a wonderful service bekommen 🌹

Hard to believe, the three of us spontaneously took a look on a Saturday and were completely convinced! Absolute insider tip!

An excellent Iranian restaurant that not only offers quality food, but also a wonderful atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.

Very authentic and delicious ❤️

Absolutely delicious!! For us the best Persian restaurant in Hanover. Very friendly service. In summer you can sit outside and watch the tennis players.

Very nice location. Friendly staff. Tasty Persian food

We can fully recommend this small and fine restaurant. Courteous service, good seating outside and excellent cuisine. The dishes were prepared quickly and freshly. We would have liked a little more vegetables in our lamb dishes (chop and loin). but a little less rice. The saffron rice is a feast for the eyes! We liked it very much.

Benatis is a hidden restaurant on the tennis court and worth a visit for Persian cuisine. The interior is simple but nice and there are outdoor spaces. The owner is nice and happy to give advice. What we liked best on our last visit was the Napoleon slices (Napeloni). We also had a good tahchin (huge portion and they are really good at baking the rice). We recently ordered pick-up again and it was super quick and reliable. The pizza was very thick in terms of dough and topped with lots of cheese. My Lubia Polo, on the other hand, was super tasty and well seasoned. It was more than half a kilo of rice with 10 beef balls. The lamb shank was also good and the dill rice was nice and spicy. The rice for the kabab was also good and we were even given lemon, zatar and herbs. All in all we were very satisfied.

The food and atmosphere was so delicious and the service and behavior was super kind and polite. So satisfied with the experience

We had a good time here today and had an excellent meal - the food was very tasty and fresh and the portions were huge. Saffron ice cream was amazing and a very large portion. We will definitely be back - the service was very courteous and friendly. I only have one small tip: maybe turn the music down a little, sometimes it was too loud for conversation and the chair covers would be better in a different color because the old stains are clearly visible even though the covers have been washed - but it's definitely clean , bright and friendly. Keep it up 😀

Today we had Persian food in Hanover for the first time in a long time. We found Benathis via Google and became aware of the positive reviews. The reviews are 100% accurate! Really uniquely delicious food and friendly service! Absolutely recommended! Would love to come back...

Very tasty food at a reasonable price. The pasta ice cream and also the pistachio ice cream are a hit. The service is very friendly. We'd love to come back!

Definitely recommended to everyone

Kebab bowl for two people. 45 euros. Excellent quality and service Iranian drinks only have buttermilk.

You can get delicious, fresh, authentic food here. We were there with seven people. Everyone enjoyed it very much. The meat on the grill was tender. Overall, the Persian dishes are an absolutely recommendable taste experience. And for those less keen to experiment, there are also dishes like burgers and currywurst. The fries that you can eat with it are homemade, crispy and delicious. Vegetarians will also find something tasty here. The friendly and courteous owners and the helpful staff unobtrusively ensure that you feel comfortable here. The restaurant is located on the premises of a tennis club. In my opinion, the best was made of the clubhouse visually. Advantages of the location are the large parking lot, the easy access by public transport and the outdoor area, which is far enough away from Podpielskistrasse to make the traffic a quiet background noise. For a relaxed meal with culinary delights, you've come to the right place.

Very tasty food and friendly service who also takes the time to explain things.

We were greeted very friendly and the food was excellent. Everything was explained to us with a lot of patience. Thank you very much, we will definitely come back.

Two good friends recommended trying Benatis. We followed the recommendation much too late, and the recommendation was more than justified: very nice, as with all Iranian restaurants, the particularly delicious food in the quiet and green surroundings is in a class of its own👍 Now we can recommend Benatis 😃 Thank you very much and see you soon 🙏

We ordered different kinds of Kebabs (did not try the fast food). Unfortunately the food needs a lot to improve. The kubide Kebab (costs 15.90€ at the moment) had little meat inside, in my opinion. It was not well cooked and smelled unpleasantly. The food’s quality was not something that can motivate us visit there again. Dough drink was delicious.

The good rating and the delicious smell (of spices and much more) led us to the somewhat hidden restaurant. The dishes made us curious and the taste was very convincing. Unfortunately it is a bit hidden by a tennis court. If that doesn't bother you, you can also sit outside. Our conclusion: We'll be back.

Very good service and delicious Persian food. We sat outside in the best weather and ordered Lubia Polo and Vaziri plates. Both dishes were very tasty and beautifully presented. Everything was perfect, gladly again. I can highly recommend it!

Great place to eat Persian food. Delicious starter plate and the main courses were also great. Had a very nice evening there. Casual atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Will come again.

I ordered takeaway food, The staff is super nice!!! The food was also tasty, but I've had better Persian food. All in all, 3-4 stars. That's fine for in between.

The great cuisine, the quiet atmosphere and the loving leadership gave us a wonderful evening. We recommend!

It is really enjoyable to come to this pleasant and family atmosphere while watching the tennis game, it was definitely worth the journey we took to get here. Great food, great service and great price.

I have been to many Iranian restaurants with my family in most German cities and the truth is that Restaurant Benatis is one of the three best restaurants in Germany.

Very, very tasty food in plenty.

Very nice restaurant. Staff is very friendly. Family run restaurant. Completely satisfied

Everything tastes wonderful, but Djudje Kabab is heavenly delicious!

By far the best Persian food in Hanover and I have a Persian mom and know what I'm talking about ;)

Without exaggerating, I have visited all the Persian restaurants in Hanover. Benatis has by far the best food. With distance. Incredibly delicious. The meat is a dream.
