Darband Restaurant in Stuttgart

Like a bistro, but has a good quality of food

Dont judge a book by its cover. 10/10 meal👌

I recently visited this Persian restaurant and was completely impressed! As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a warm, hospitable atmosphere. The decor is very authentic, making you feel at home immediately. The food was simply outstanding. The flavors were wonderfully balanced—you can taste the fresh ingredients and the attention to detail. The portions were also generous, and the value for money was absolutely fair. The staff was attentive and very friendly. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience Persian cuisine or simply enjoy an enjoyable evening. I will definitely be back!

The food was delicious. The owner personally advised me and explained in detail where the food came from. It was simple, delicious, and I'll be back for more. Thank you

Great restaurant, great staff. We arrived very spontaneously and by chance. Friends who live in Stuttgart suggested another restaurant, but we decided to go there ourselves (we're not locals). The atmosphere is truly oriental, artistic, and beautifully designed. The staff is really friendly and welcoming, and the food is perfect to the max. Thank you so much for everything.

The most interesting booth restaurant I've ever visited - the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" has been confirmed. The quality of the food was excellent, the host does his job with love.

Very cozy and delicious. Great.

A disappointment; where do the excellent reviews come from? No restaurant atmosphere, a container with a chaotic outbuilding, it seemed dingy. Menus without prices, no bill. Definitely not recommended.

Delicious food and super friendly people! I ordered takeout, and while I waited, I was treated to a traditional tea on the house. The place was incredibly hospitable. The space, while rustic, was lovingly decorated with many accessories from my hometown. It felt like a mini-vacation for my mind, especially with the background music. The food was definitely delicious and authentic! 🙏🏻

We became aware of this "restaurant" through the positive Google reviews (4.8*). Based on our own experience in "Darband," we can't understand these reviews at all and wouldn't recommend it to anyone!!! This container and the attached carport could be described as a snack bar, but not a restaurant. The entire interior had the feel of a flea market, lacking in style or concept. The service staff was incompetent and out of place. The food itself was okay, but not worth a visit. Unfortunately, there was also a laminated menu with no prices listed, which surprised us quite a bit, as this isn't permitted in Germany. The total amount was calculated using a calculator, and there was no receipt anyway. Since we were invited to this dinner, we politely refrained from criticizing it on the spot. We still haven't gotten over our visit there and would never have thought that this place was licensed as a restaurant in Germany :(:(:(

I loved the Persian restaurant! You feel like you are at home, very cozy with a traditional atmosphere! The music, the decorations – everything! The food was delicious and the waiter was very nice too! I will definitely eat here again! ♥️

Dear friends, one of the best Iranian restaurants in Stuttgart is here. I have been to many Iranian restaurants, but this is something different. The food here is 10 out of 10. You come here, you have entered Iran. Thank you very much for your food and warmth

The food was extremely delicious and their treatment was very friendly and respectful, after a long time I ate wonderful and delicious food

The food wasn't as good as Persian food usually is, not very fresh. The card had no price information. We only received an invoice after asking, prices were expensive for the service.

Restaurant is located in industrial park and is built in a container. The menu only had limited number of items from the main course and prices were not mentioned on the menu. We got one vegetarian dish and chicken dish, even though the quantity was OK, but there was no flavor in the food and in my opinion, the food was very expensive considering the atmosphere of the Restaurant. We were charged a random amount at the end and had to ask to get the bill so we could see the actual prices and both the dishes were billed for €20 which did not make sense. You could definitely try it once but we for sure will not return.

First of all, thank you for the great service. Very friendly and great service, which is what everyone wants. Food was also very tasty. They did everything really well. Very nice Iranian style decoration. You feel warmly invited but the location is a bit out of the way and at first glance it doesn't look like a restaurant as soon as you walk in everything is fine. The price is a bit too high but I can definitely recommend it.

We went to the restaurant and had apprehension before entering because it was empty and a small, strange place. After we saw the comments, we put our trust in God and entered. The place was beautiful and warm and reflected a simple part of Iranian culture. They offered us a poor salad from the restaurant We ordered two dishes, chicken and meat kebab. They tasted amazing, God willing. The quantity was large, so we could not finish the dish. We took it and gave it to someone poor I give the food a 6 out of 10 As for Ali, who served us, God willing, he loves you in the place with his high morals and wit Thank you 💖💖

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant in Stuttgart, and I can confidently say it was one of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had—even in all of Germany! The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was prepared with top-quality ingredients and incredible flavors. The service was outstanding; the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly special. You can tell they put love and passion into everything they do. We enjoyed every moment and every bite—it was an unforgettable experience! If you're in Stuttgart and looking for a place with amazing food, a great ambiance, and excellent service, this is the place to be! Highly recommended!😍

We were desperately searching for something to eat and found this gem. The Food was not only extremely delicious and (ful-)filling, the portions were also big. The quality of the meat was high and the salad really fresh. We had a great conversation with the person serving the food. They were enormously friendly and informed us upfront how long we'll have to wait, only to serve us much faster. We came back a second time and will eat there again. An absolute recommendation!

By chance I was at the Motel One Feuerbach nearby and wanted to eat Persian food again. Searched nearby on Google Maps and discovered this little restaurant. It's in a nondescript backyard. Go, it's definitely worth it! Nice and very friendly hosts, very tasty food and also a very pleasant conversation partner at the next table! A very nice evening!!!

I had a delicious Kabab Barg at Darband Restaurant. The quality of the food was very good and fresh – a really authentic taste! The interior of the restaurant was beautifully designed and had an interesting atmosphere. It was particularly exciting to learn more about Iranian culture, which is clearly presented here. A small disadvantage was the parking situation, as there are not many parking options nearby. Nevertheless, the restaurant is easily accessible by public transport, which makes getting there easier. Overall it was a pleasant experience with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Recommended for anyone interested in Iranian cuisine!

Cozy little restaurant in Stuttgart that offers authentic Persian cuisine. The staff is super friendly and made sure we got everything we needed to have a good event there. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

The food was really good and very tasty! The service was good and friendly. The chef is super nice and also talks to his guests! It was my first time there and I will go there more often in the future to eat.

The food was perfect. My wife and I were there for the first time and I can only recommend going.

Best food I had down here in Germany. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they were very helpful.🤩

We came here spontaneously because we stayed at Motel One. Just a 10-minute walk away, the food completely blew us away! Very nice service, location that takes some getting used to (don't be put off!) - what's behind it is really great! The chicken, skewers and rice are simply amazing! We were extremely positively surprised!

Exciting place... Food and service top...

Sehr gut alles Qualität, sehr lecker und schöner Platz. A new and warm place with excellent food and service, you will experience the best food experience in Elman

We ate at this authentic Persian restaurant today and loved it. The service was very, very friendly, the food was great and the portions were huge. But what we liked best was the ambience.

We really liked this little Persian restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was nice, and the atmosphere was cozy. We had super-juicy, well-seasoned kebab with rice, and the portions easily filled even my teenagers. Clear recommendation!

We were so enchanted by our first visit in the summer that we went back again the week after! 😍 The atmosphere is simply great, you feel like you're in another country - even if you're a little confused when you first see it. The owners are super friendly and happy to talk about the food, the culture,… Food was super delicious. More meat-heavy, but there is also something for vegetarians. (I had Kashke Bademjan as my main course.) If you come by spontaneously, there won't be everything on the menu (as it sometimes takes days of preparation). So either just give in to the whole thing and be surprised or pre-order. 😊 In short: 100% recommendation!!! ❤️

I had an incredible Persian experience there, and the staff were very friendly—we even took photos with them!

After a long time I ate a really good Kubideh again, nice and juicy, just as it should be. The owner was very polite and friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come again. Thank you and see you soon.

The food was very delicious, made with fresh ingredients and meat, and the owner of the place was very delicious

An authentic Persian restaurant run with a lot of love. The dishes are aromatic and freshly prepared, and a glimpse into the kitchen shows the passion of the chefs. A real taste experience – highly recommended!

I just say that you will remember this place for the rest of your life!

Delicious food, friendly owner, original atmosphere

“The food was very tasty and authentic. The owner was also incredibly friendly and attentive. We were completely satisfied and would like to come back. Recommended!”

The restaurant is closed, but Google still shows it as open.

Here is the best way to enjoy a very tasty meal in a local Persian restaurant in Stuttgart. I recommend all taste-seeking Stuttgart residents for whom food is important and service and ambience are not the first priority. As an Iranian, I am very satisfied and would often do it again. But unfortunately it's too expensive for this small place.

The Darband restaurant is a real insider tip for everyone who loves authentic Persian cuisine. It is a small, cozy restaurant with a table for around 6 people inside, a table for around 3 people and some seating outside. My tip: Be sure to call in advance, reserve a table and pre-order the food, as dishes like the lamb shank are freshly and elaborately prepared. Whatever food there is to choose from, you will communicated on the phone. The charm of this place lies in the warm atmosphere - you feel like you are in a Persian living room. The service is warm-hearted and courteous. An authentic Persian experience that is really worth it!

I am really to experience this place. The quality of food, specifically Kabab Koobede, was excellent 👌. I recommend it. Also, the staff behaved respectfully and openly.

I was looking on Google for a restaurant and came across Darband.. It was located on a small industrial estate. the food was surprising... Persian food, simple but tasty, good kebab with delicious rice. What was on the plate was also more than enough, so you go home with a full belly. Also very nice people who like to chat.

BEST PERSIAN IN ALL OF GERMANY I'm already planning my next stay in Stuttgart just to be able to eat here again. You have the feeling of being directly in Tehran. From the food to the hospitality. We received a warm welcome shortly before the end. The decor was typically Persian, very inviting and cozy. The owner himself offered us a free choice of seating, even though some of the places had already been cleared away. To drink he offered us an Iranian non-alcoholic beer, which I had never tried before. The lemon-mint variety was THE bomb. Absolute recommendation. But the best is yet to come. We got an appetizer (a small salad) on the house. The cook, a Persian mom, brought us the salad. Just like the owner, she was very friendly to us. You felt like you were at home. When our main courses came, I was fascinated. It smelled incredibly delicious and was beautifully prepared. I've had some kebabs at Persian before, but none like this!!! That was pure Iran. The taste was...unbelievable in words, you have to try it for yourself. To top it all off, they brought us Tahdig. If that's not reason enough to come here...then I don't know what is. All I can say is, see you next time!

Best food, Ambiente and homely decorations. Strongly recommend

Guys, if you want to try authentic Persian food, this is the place to go. As an Iranian, I know that it's really hard to find authentic Persian restaurant anywhere in Germany. But this place is the closest one to what you could experience in Tehran. Just reserve in advance, go there and enjoy some of the best Persian food you could find around.

Service was great, food was served and tasted very good. Small but cozy in summer. You should bring some time with you.

It was the first time I went to a restaurant like this, one with Persian cuisine and something like that, and I was really impressed. It's different from what you're used to, but it looks really nice. The people there are really warm people. I've never been so nice. I've even received a bottle I got water because I was very thirsty but didn't have enough. That was very nice. I also had a really nice chat there. The food was really delicious. I ordered Kubideh. Actually, I like minced meat and stuff like that and I'm so easy to get excited about because the meat is often very rubbery or cartilage and other things or too dry but the meat was really good no cartilage not dry and not rubbery/chewy a great atmosphere and very kind hearted people will come by again and again it was very tasty

Would give them a zero star if I could. The owner was disrespectful and condescending. Told us that he can only give us one item from menu since we didn’t make prior reservations. He said “we have 1000 of items in the menu but can only give you this one kabab since you didn’t make prior reservations”. There were flies all over the kababs and the space was dirty as well. He seemed disorganized and flustered. We decided to leave and didn’t try the food. I would recommend finding another persian restaurant (there are plenty of choices within the area).

I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere as well as their friendliness.

Title: Disappointing experience and questionable 5 star reviews Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ We ordered Baghali Polo with Mahicheh and Kabab Kubideh and were very disappointed. The food was not fresh and looked like it had been reheated in the microwave. Particularly disappointing was the Baghali Polo, which only had beans and spices on the top layer - underneath it was just regular white rice. For dessert we ordered black tea and had to wait about 30 minutes for it. When the tea finally came, it was cold - and for two euros each! When we then wanted to get the bill and pay by card, we were refused. The employee explained to us that only cash was accepted on weekends, which was very annoying as we were not informed of this. As for the ambience, quality of the food and the overall dining experience, I cannot understand the many 5 star reviews this restaurant has and doubt whether they are authentic. Overall it was a very disappointing experience.

Friendly with an interesting atmosphere✨️

Very good food, fresh and perfectly prepared Very nice owner very nice decorations 10/10

Nice restaurant with a special outdoor area. Food fresh and delicious. 10 stars

Most authentic persian restaurant I have come across in a long time. Recommended

Amazing food, friendly and old Persian atmosphere. Feels like eating koobide kabab in darband, Tehran. And there’s plenty of free parking space

We had an excellent, delicious and personal experience at Darband. The food was absolutely amazing but the service was what really made it stand out. It was so homely and inviting, I’d go here more and more if I lived here!

Delicious food. They only speak English or Farsi I was only given one meal to choose from. That was a bit of a shame. The food was quite good.

We recently visited the Darband Restaurant in Stuttgart and were very impressed. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Particularly noteworthy is the variety and quality of the food. Every meal was freshly prepared and tasted excellent. We can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic and delicious cuisine in a great setting. A real insider tip in Stuttgart!

Very delicious, the atmosphere is very good, the boss and his wife are also very nice

Wonder atmosphere and very delicious food. I recommend everyone to try their Kabab kobide.

August 1, 2024 I had a wonderful evening at Darband Restaurant. The Persian foods were delicious and authentic, especially the specific dish of food. The service was friendly and attentive, the staff very well informed. The ambience was stylish and inviting, which made the evening perfect. Overall an excellent experience – highly recommended!

Nice people, clean, long waiting time and unfortunately the quality of the food was catastrophic for what you pay €

The owner is a magician and we had the best dinner in town … thanks for everything

Just fantastic! The name "Darband" refers to a beautiful place in Iran, known for its waterfalls and authentic food culture. You immediately feel welcome in the restaurant and enjoy a unique atmosphere. Reservations are strongly recommended due to the limited number of seats.

Excellent food, you feel good right away and it's super delicious not just the first time but super delicious every time

We were two friends and right from the start Alì did everything he could to make us feel at ease. We chatted a lot and were really pleased to have met him. Fantastic kebab, large portions, very nice service and a cozy place - I recommend it 100%! The atmosphere was warm and familiar, perfect for an evening with friends. We can't wait to return to enjoy their delicious food again and spend another pleasant evening in Alì's company.

Thank you very much Ali!! Excellent service and spectacular food! We were a group of 10 friends, most of us from Peru, and we felt at home. I highly recommend this place.

Incredibleeeee!! We arrived almost by chance and the service was very good, the food was high quality, they even let us play our music and we took the opportunity to practice dancing for a wedding. We ate the dish between two, although several ate individually. The person who served us will soon close the store so I recommend that if you can come, you do so.

Super tasty and really nice service Really authentic Persian cuisine

I can recommend this place. Taste on meat was perfect with spices. Nice atmosphere and big portions.

Fantastic kebab, large portions, very nice service and a cozy place - I recommend it 100%!

A delicious Persian restaurant. There are new discoveries and surprises in unexpected places. I didn't have a reservation, but they kindly showed me around. The owner is very personable, and I can feel his professionalism as a chef when he suggested matching food and drinks. The terrace seating in the summer was very comfortable and I was able to relax and enjoy my meal. it's recommended.

Great fresh food full of flavor lots of fun people and atmosphere.

A magical evening in the Persian Restaurant During our stay in the area we were looking for a good restaurant and came across this hidden gem. At first we were skeptical, the exterior looked unusual. But what awaited us inside far exceeded all our expectations. As soon as you enter, you can feel the local Persian charm and the incredible attention to detail in the furnishings. But the real highlight of this restaurant is Ali and his dedicated team behind the scenes. We have never been welcomed so warmly and courteously. Ali is a master at offering his guests an unforgettable atmosphere that makes you feel like you are at home with a good friend. The food was simply sensational, a real taste explosion! A harmonious blend of exotic flavors where every little detail was perfectly coordinated. A valuable tip: It's best to call a day in advance so that the team can perfectly prepare special dishes that take more time. A simple dinner turned into a magical five-hour stay, crowned with a magical chai, which gets a unique aroma from a dry rose and is sweetened with saffron rock candy. We loved it so much that we immediately made another reservation for our departure day to enjoy this incredible experience again. This restaurant is a true gem and a must for every Persian cuisine lover!

5 stars!! You get very tasty food, in a nice atmosphere, with great service. We'll be back soon! 😎

I don't even know where to start. While looking for a suitable restaurant, we came across this very well-rated Persian restaurant. When we looked for the location, we were initially shocked and asked ourselves what this place was supposed to be. But we got involved and as soon as we met Ali we felt the positive vibes that he and the ambience radiate. The food is prepared very freshly, some dishes have to be ordered in advance. This shows how much love and effort goes into the details. What can I say, we were speechless. These different, new flavors were unique! We ordered another meal for a few days later because we loved it so much! Not only that! We were treated as if Ali had invited us into his home. One Friday evening, instead of going to a bar, we stayed here all evening and really enjoyed it! Thank you for the unique memory, we will never forget it! Only the best to Ali! I hope he will be very successful in his journey and be able to present his unique cuisine to many people!

Fine food, friendly service, authentic Persian ambience, a little gem in Stuttgart

An incredibly comfortable place with delicious food! Ali, the owner, treated us very well and cooked for us at 11 pm. Original decoration and incredible style! I recommend it 100%! Thank you Ali!

A very authentic and beautiful to the eyes Persian restaurant I have ever been to. The decorations were very beautiful. The food was super good. We had the most tender lamd and the most delicious kebab, with fluffiest rice. The tea after the food really hit the spot. I enjoyed this experience a lot, and I would definitely recommend it and will definitely come back 😊 Çox gözəl və dadlı yeməkləri olan Iran restoranı. Çox tövsiyə edirəm və mütləq bir daha gələcəyəm.

Very poor quality, food was cold and undercooked This is not a personal kitchen I'm never coming here again.

One of the best restaurants I have eaten in. Don't miss the lovely tea. The owner of the restaurant is named Ali, a very respectable and helpful person

Super delicious! Super nice people! Go!

It’s the most beautiful traditional decoration and very delicious food with warm hospitality 🌟⭐️🌟

Very friendly and a super delicious meal, wow Thank you thank you

Great Iranian food - fresh, rich in flavors, for €20 you will leave full 👌

It is a small business in appearance, but big in terms of taste, cleanliness, sincerity and hospitality;) Fresh meat, salad and other appetizers are something we are not used to in Germany. In addition to the price being very affordable and understandable, its authentic decoration is another pleasure that caresses the soul.. Thank you for all your flavors and sincerity🙏🏻

Very tasty 😋😋😋😋 Nice employees 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Very tasty kebab. Great service. We will be happy to come again!

Its really wonderful. Fully recommended.

Very tasty and fresh. It's better to reserve first. Very nice staff.

We went to this restaurant without reservation, and the owner came specifically from home to cook for us. Respect 🙏. Small but cute restaurant with a fantastic garden. The food was served in beautiful, handmade plates and was super delicious, even in Iran you can't find such a quality. Very well-mannered owner and perfect service. We had a extraordinary dining experience. Highly recommend 👌

The food was delicious, fresh and tasty . We were so pleased with the service and we definitely recommend this restaurant.

"I had a fantastic dining experience! The dishes were exceptional and reminiscent of the original recipes of Persian cuisine. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend booking in advance so you can get a table. Highly recommended!"

The best Iranian food in Stuttgart. No wonder if they got only five stars! Thank you very much, we will come back again.

Very special atmosphere. Unique, with attention to details. Very friendly hostess and great food.

I discovered the restaurant by chance while searching on Google Maps. I visited the restaurant without an appointment thinking it was a normal restaurant, but I was surprised when I arrived. The place is very charming and does not resemble other restaurants, but rather has a warm family atmosphere. Usually, you are required to book in advance, but Ali, the owner of the restaurant, was not willing to let me go out without food. He prepared me a delicious Iranian dish of saffron rice, lamb kebab, and salad at the restaurant’s expense. The taste was very delicious and I very much enjoyed talking with the owner of the restaurant and his brother. I will definitely visit the place again, but I will call and book in advance of course

Super friendly hosting in a very nice and cozy place. The food was fresh and sooo delicious.

Excellent Iranian cuisine with halal cuts. A welcoming and quiet, comfortable place. Thank you for everything. I highly recommend it ☺️ don't forget to make a reservation in advance and tell us the food you want to eat! Thank God, my brother makes everything fresh.

Excellent food and great service from very nice people. This place is now an absolute favorite of ours.
