Djadoo in Darmstadt

Unfortunately we had very bad experiences here

Everything was great, only the portions were disproportionate to the price. A small dumpling cost 15 euros. Meat fillet pieces (2 small pieces) over 20 euros.

Simply 5 stars throughout. The best Persian restaurant around Darmstadt.

Very tasteful restaurant. Lunch: great selection, you can try out and get to know the dishes. Evening: Quite expensive without a gourmet block.

Excellent food ordered via Uber again! This restaurant is absolutely first choice! Really A1 with stars!!! Thank you for the excellent food!!

Very nice oriental ambience, good, rich and tasty lunch buffet. The hot drinks are also very good.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! When I made the reservation over the phone, I mentioned that it was my husband's birthday. The friendly employee on the phone immediately offered us a chocolate cake on the house - a nice gesture that I gladly accepted. When we arrived at the restaurant we were warmly welcomed and greeted. The entire team was incredibly friendly and fulfilled our every wish. The service was just perfect! And the food? A smooth 1000 out of 10! Truly incredibly delicious – every bite is a pleasure! Finally, my husband received a beautifully presented platter of chocolate cake and fresh fruit, served with mocha and cream. I tried it for the first time and loved it! Overall it was a perfect evening. My husband and I were more than satisfied and will definitely come back! Many thanks to the entire team for this special experience!

Djadoo Restaurant in Darmstadt offers excellent food with generous portion sizes. We started with a completely vegeterian appetizer, followed by our main courses, and quickly realized it was far more than we could finish. One main dish easily felt like two servings! The menu has a wide variety of options, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The quality of the food was outstanding, making it a place I’d happily return to.

Very tasty and very large portions. Change requests are no problem. The Persian mocha is super delicious

the food is very tasty, a authentic Persian restaurant

Service: friendly and attentive. Ambiance: inviting - Food: Main course unfortunately totally over salted - side salad was very tasty and good

Magical restaurant, enjoy with all your senses, great food, excellent service and a pleasant ambience. The Djadoo is and remains one of my favorite locations in Darmstadt

Picked up food for 20% discount. Expensive but very tasty

Disaster…. For the price, this borders on outrageous. It was also a novelty for me to not even get Panir o Sabzi. Schade had hoped for more based on the reviews.

Food tastes ok. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio doesn't fit here at all. 17€ for the amount of Kashkeh Bademjun you get there is outrageous. Unfortunately the Djudje Kabab was a bit too sour. The traditional side dish Sabzi was completely omitted. Service is ok. Unfortunately not a cafe.

Unfortunately I can't understand the very positive reviews. Food wasn't bad at all. Neither is the service or the ambience. But the price-performance ratio is not right at all. Maybe I'm spoiled by the standard of Persian restaurants in Frankfurt, but Djadoo isn't worth a visit for me. Kashk-e Bademjan was 80% leaf salad and 20% the actual starter you order. Vegetarian main course also very bland. And finally an espresso without crema. For the price, you can eat much better.

We were there for the Christmas party and had already reserved for more than a month. When we were there, we were told that the table we wanted had not been reserved 🙂🙂🙂. You reserved the table for someone else without telling us in advance. Immediately after eating, the staff said that our time (max. 2 hours) had already expired and we had to leave now 🙂🙂🙂🙂. I have never experienced such a disrespectful restaurant for Christmas celebrations. I definitely don't recommend it. 😡😡

We immediately noticed the very attentive and friendly service employee "Makke" Markus Urbansky :) The drinks came straight away and we didn't have to wait long for our main courses. The savory pickled lamb and beef with flaky saffron rice was delicious! Relaxed oriental acoustic music played in the background. The dessert went down like oil. Our anniversary was a romantic success <3

Lots of delicious meat and vegetarian dishes

Sicherlich haben einige Vorbehalte gegen Speisen und Getränke aus anderen Regionen, aber wer Lust auf "Urlaubserlebnisse" im Alltag hat, ist im Djadoo goldrichtig. Die Atmosphäre ist nett, der Service freundlich und schnell, die Speisen und Getränke versetzen jeden in den Urlaub. ... die Größe der Gerichte sind echt "deutsch", man schafft es kaum!

Unfortunately that was nothing.. No recommendation at this point..

First of all: we have been to Djadoo many times over the years because the food is really tasty and the restaurant is cozy. In the summer you can also sit outside. But this evening the experience was unfortunately more than unpleasant. Reservation online for 5 people, 6:30 p.m. Confirmed until 10:00 p.m. Right from the start it was noticeable that we were almost pressured to order. The starters were tasty and quick. But we weren't even halfway through when we were informed that the main courses were already ready and that they would be brought now. We haven't experienced such a hectic pace from our previous visits. The explanation for the jostling came when, shortly before 8:00 p.m., we were pointed out rather brusquely that the table would be needed at 8:00 p.m. for the next guests. Only certain time slots would be reserved, this would be visible when making the online reservation. The fact that this is not the case was proven by the reservation confirmation and was also not clear on the website. Conversations at the next table revealed the same problem there, only with an even shorter period of time. This is how you quickly ruin your reputation as a restaurant. Advice to management: either plan differently or quickly change the website so that this is visible.

I can only recommend the visit. This was our second time at Djadoo. The quality is great, whether it's a starter, meat dishes, vegan dishes or dessert (mocha). The service was very courteous and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Nice ambience, very friendly service and good, rich dishes.

As always, it was very tasty there. Service is nice, but can't keep up with that of Shiraz. Negative: we were seated quite tightly and there was a lot of draft due to the closed windows. We were freezing even though we were sitting right next to the heater.

Warm glasses with beer!! Starter platter was great, main course, okay. Very long waiting times, incorrect food and drink deliveries

Ich war früher sehr gerne in diesem Restaurant. Aber die Preisanpassung ist einfach maßlos. Klar ist vieles Teurer geworden aber ein Hauptgericht was früher so ab 15 Euro zu haben war nun bis zu 31 Euro zu verkaufen ist unverschämt. Vielleicht setzt man auch darauf dass die meisten Leute mit dem Schlemmerblock kommen und so ein Gericht sparen. Aber für ein Gericht was hauptsächlich aus Reis besteht solche Preise zu verlangen ist dreist. Ich werde nicht mehr kommen auch nicht mit Schlemmerblock.

Great atmosphere, the food was delicious and the service was exceptionally good. I think our waiter was called Nami and what he did is something we usually find in star restaurants! PS the details are very nice - for example the elaborately engraved wine glasses!

Unfortunately, in my opinion, the food was just average. I used to think it was much better. The prices have now risen so much that everything simply no longer fits together. I'm not coming back.

Very tasty Persian-Oriental food with a wide selection of meat, fish, shrimp, but also vegetarian and vegan dishes. Also interesting appetizers. Service was very polite, perhaps a bit "rushed" due to the large crowds... Unfortunately, the restaurant atmosphere is a bit crowded and restrictive ("too many tables in too little space"). Still, all in all, definitely worth a visit!

Were there for the lunch buffet. The selection is manageable, but the quality is very good! The service could be more attentive (e.g. clearing away plates, asking if you would like something else to drink). The atmosphere is very nice and you feel comfortable. I would go again. Recommended 👍🏻

Dear Djadoo team 😀 You have once again spoiled us deliciously! Everything was, as always, excellent! Delicious food & TOP service… pure enjoyment & pampering ATTENTION => extreme risk of addiction!! Soup and dessert are a MUST! We are now happy, satisfied & tired. Thank you very much again and again! It's nice that you exist ❤️ Nicole & Jeanine

Great food. Excellent service. Eat there often.

I was really excited, I've never had such good Arabic food before. The portion was really big, the meat was very tender, good quality and the sauce was to die for. Also very nice, attentive staff and everything went really quickly. The prices aren't exactly cheap, but the portions are large and the quality and taste are worth it. You sit comfortably and it's cozy. I would love to come back and definitely recommend it.

The starter plate was interesting. I tried a bit of everything, I recommend the falafels, that was the best thing about the restaurant. The rest was just okay. The main course, chicken with walnut sauce and pomegranates with basmati rice, was tasty. The walnut kernel sauce feels very heavy but the pomegranates give it a sweet twist. The dessert was very interesting, unusual but I really liked it. That was the thing with the glass noodle ice cream.

Like a little vacation. Tasty, oriental and not the usual standard fare.

Top! Great ambience and the food was excellent! We had a Christmas party there and the service was well prepared and took great care of us. Big praise goes to the boss Markus! He was very accommodating and friendly! We felt very comfortable. Thanks :)

Good Persian that only narrowly made it to second place in Darmstadt in my rating. The Persian Shi..az in Darmstadt is clearly ahead. But that's not the point here and the restaurant can definitely be recommended!!

I'd love to go there again! Super tasty, especially the rice. If you don't get enough here... ;)

The Persian restaurant offers a culinary experience in a class of its own. The cuisine is characterized by its masterful art of spices, which accompanies every dish subtly and harmoniously. The starter plate is a real firework of flavors. Each individual component impresses with a unique and explosive flavor profile that truly enchants the senses. The variety and quality of the starters give an idea of ​​the culinary delights that will follow. What is particularly impressive is the obvious care and respect with which the food is prepared. You can literally feel the passion and skill of the chefs in every bite. The dishes are not only tasty, but also prepared with attention to detail. Overall, this Persian restaurant offers an excellent dining experience that will delight both foodies and newcomers to Persian cuisine. The perfectly coordinated spices, the taste bombs of the starters and the respectful preparation make every visit an unforgettable culinary adventure.

Very tasty food served in a stylish atmosphere 👍 The service is friendly, courteous and has a good dose of humor (Markus 😉) Many thanks to the entire Djadoo team... you're great 👍

The food is outstanding! You feel very comfortable, the atmosphere is very nice. Table reservation is definitely recommended! Minus point: The service was very friendly, but very slow. We had to wait a very long time to even be able to order. After the food was there, there was no one to be seen at all. Unfortunately, it is not possible to order additional drinks

Good food, friendly service and a nice ambience. Thanks to the Djadoo team!

Very good food quality, the Tajin dish with lamb was tasty, the rice and salad were also nicely made. Great atmosphere!

We weren't that impressed in terms of price/performance...

This was the second time we were there and the food was delicious again. However, we only go there with a gourmet block, as the price is a bit higher. But it's worth the money and you don't go there every month.

We were here for the first time and received a very friendly welcome. Even without a reservation, we easily got a table. The service was very friendly. The waiting times for the food were perfectly fine. Our food was super tasty. In fact, the food was one of the best we've had so far. The portions were very generous and enough to fill you up even if you were very hungry. We still treated ourselves to dessert, and I have to say it was excellent. 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, dates with coconut, chocolate soufflé, apple slices, strawberries etc. on a plate. An excellent combination and it was just great. A very clear recommendation from us, you have to eat here at least once.

We were at Djadoo again this evening. Absolutely recommended. The food is delicious and the service exceeds all expectations. Markus in particular deserves special praise. We would love to come back!!!!

Very questionable service. We were offered dessert, there were four of us and we weren't in the mood/hungry. We were then informed that our table now had to be cleared for the next guests and were politely complimented. We were only there for 1(!) hour and won't be coming back.

Very tasty and authentic! I can only recommend it

Very nice oriental designed restaurant, delicious food and very nice and courteous staff! Even our dog wasn't a problem there! The only downside was getting a parking space, but the visit was worth it, highly recommended!

Extraordinary food, very nice atmosphere, very friendly and attentive service. Very nice dining experience.

Inattentive/unprofessional service, starter good, main course very strangely portioned, a lot of rice, no new cutlery, oriental bread not homemade for a price that is too expensive in my opinion… Waited 25 minutes for the invoice, 3 service people and zero organization:(

Starter (soup) good Ambience good Main course (chicken with pomegranate sauce) was horrible because the sauce was simply inedible. Service was really bad, lots of little things but the highlight was when I asked “did it taste good?” denied. The waiter says, "You're joking, you enjoyed it"... Simply a very overwhelmed and by no means professional service. Oh, and the invoice creation took another half hour.

Excellent food and impeccable service in an oriental atmosphere. Not cheap, but worth it. The portions are very large, so be careful when ordering starters, especially as the staff are very good at "selling".

Cozy restaurant with Persian food flavor

Everything great! Service competent and very friendly & attentive. Food totally delicious and varied. It's very nice to sit both outside and inside. I really enjoy going there! Highly recommended!

Everything was great - starting with the location in a traffic-calmed area. Beautiful outdoor area and attentive service. The interior is also very nice, be sure to make a reservation in the evening. Very tasty food, not too spicy but still tasteful and authentic. Price/performance ratio is ok but in the upper segment. We recommend the Djadoo without reservation.

Staff are very friendly and the places is well-designed. But the food itself can be much better and authentic.

Very good buffet style cuisine. Service a little long.... I recommend.

Great ambience, friendly service and excellent food! The dishes were fresh, creative and tasted excellent. The number 36 in particular always impresses us. We can't wait to come back soon! 😍

I haven't been this angry in a long time. We waited almost 1 hour for our food. The starter came quite quickly. Oh yes, don't you get new cutlery for the main course?! People who came after us had already paid again and left. Three service staff walked past our table several times. Nobody even thought about why we don't have anything yet. When we received our food after asking several times, we were told there were technical problems. I'm like, why don't you inform the guest? He then, we didn't notice, there was too much to do. I saw that, several times all three service staff stood behind the counter and talked animatedly. That was simply a lie! The food was lukewarm, my chicken was so dry, impossible. The whole dish was overcooked. My companion had almost no meat in the dish. There were supposed to be baked potatoes, they put Pomnes on the sauce! We didn't complain about the food anymore, we wanted to leave as quickly as possible. We felt so uncomfortable. We also declined dessert on the house. The price/performance ratio is not right at all. Nothing like this has ever happened to us at Shiraz, unfortunately it was fully booked. Once and never again, impossible behavior from the service staff.

Great food, very fast preparation time! Nice staff.

This was our second time eating at Djadoo. The food was again very tasty, but the service was a bit overwhelmed due to the many guests. First we were assigned the wrong table and we had to move again. We had to wait longer for our drinks, re-ordering bread didn't work either and two dishes were swapped. After everyone had the dish they ordered, it was very tasty again 😋 Due to the large number of guests, it was also very loud and had a bit of a pub atmosphere. We definitely won't be going there on Saturdays anymore.

One of the best restaurants in Darmstadt for many years. Upscale authentic Persian cuisine with fresh and excellent ingredients, combined with very good service.

Very tasty, oriental as you would imagine, nice service, very nice location

Very good food and very friendly service. Unfortunately, parking is a bit difficult in this area. We really enjoy coming here - you should make a reservation.

Value for money not given Service so-so. The request to keep the starter cutlery is the joke of the year and the crowning glory of the service culture. Was it because of the voucher booklet? Then there is no understanding of what the booklet is supposed to be used for. We were here for the first and last time. Eat So far okay. But 0/8/15 we are used to better things. Ambiance Wobbly table and chair legs? With 3 service staff, something like this should be noticed when setting up and something remedied. Especially since there wasn't much going on. Without the voucher my criticism would have been even harsher.

Unfortunately, our evening for two was accompanied by a series of not particularly good experiences. It started with the service, which was generally inattentive and asked you, among other things, to keep the used cutlery from the starter and ended with dishes that were hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and not particularly tasty! Price and performance simply don't match here!

Wir haben bestellt zur Lieferung. Der Fahrer war super nett. Das Essen war ein Gedicht. Absolut weiterzuempfehlen!!!!! Danke für das köstliche Essen

Way too expensive for what you get

Sat in the outdoor area which is beautifully designed. The menu is very extensive and offers a great selection of dishes. The food came very promptly and was beautifully presented. The meat was very tender and the pomegranate sauce was a real treat and tasted well together. The service was very friendly and our dog was also given water without being asked. Absolutely top food. The price-performance ratio is right. Recommended!

Very tasty and great atmosphere! Of course also nice service (;

Went to Djadoo yesterday for my birthday because I love Persian cuisine. I had already seen that not everything here was rated so well despite the generally very good overall rating. What I unfortunately have to complain about are the dirty tablecloths in the outside area. Dried sauce stains are just not that appetizing. The service, as often mentioned here, was very attentive, but not as friendly as you might be used to. I also know that there is a small greeting from the kitchen at the entrance (even if it's just a few fresh herbs and bread). But you can ignore that in any case. About the main course: My husband's food came to the table steaming and tasted really great. I had Zereshkpolo and the chicken legs were cold, so I had the food warmed up again... Unfortunately, I had already lost my appetite. One leg was also very dry, which irritated me a bit... The salad on the plate was quite stale, although the dressing was good. Conclusion: The price here is simply not right in relation to the quality. The really nice German waiter gave me a €10 voucher at the end because he said that cold meat wouldn't work - but I don't think we'll be back. I'd rather go to Frankfurt. Nevertheless, the compensation was really thoughtful, for which I would like to thank you again. And: Redeeming the gourmet block worked smoothly.

Even though it is a pricy but the food was delicious and oriental. The Service was good and the staff was friendly and nice especially Mr. Amir. Overall, we recommend the restaurant.

A bit boring food. Not very spicy or interesting. A bit pricy compared to what is was. Just meat and rice. Nice terrasse, friendly and fast service.

Djadoo is quite better than Shiraz.

The location is easy to find and easy to find a carpark nearby too. The restaurant is well designed and decorated and the entrance gives you a nice feeling of persian culture. Visiting on a Friday night and sitting outside, we were welcomed by the staffs. The menu is surprisingly extensive and has a nice range of persian dishes and drinks. We ordered Rudbar djooje and the Soltani Chelo with kashkbademjan as appetizers. The dishes were served nicely designed and presented. Rhe djooje was well done although was rather salty and was mixed with lots of champions as sause which we find it rather too much. The lamb kubide was done perfectly and tasted great however the lamb filet was very dry and again salty. The kashkbademjan is definitely worth to try as it was great! Overall is a nice place to visit for some persian food in a nice atmosphere, hope the next time service can be improved and the salt content can be reduced too !

We went to the Djadoo Restaurant for the first time yesterday and had a very nice evening. We found the atmosphere very nice. Although we had reserved a table inside, thanks to the waitress "Macke" (his nickname 😊) we were still able to sit outside, even though all the tables were occupied. I would particularly like to mention his commitment and, above all, his humor. If you want to have a starter and dessert as well as a main course, you should be very hungry, because you don't get small portions. The price-performance ratio is certainly debatable, but since we had a voucher from the gourmet block, the bill wasn't that high for us. We definitely recommend the restaurant and will come back 👍

Everything just fits here! We've been there several times now. Whether inside with an oriental ambience or outside in the beautiful beer garden with traffic calming. The food is lovingly prepared and tastes even better than it looks! The service is very attentive. Makke's service is particularly worth a visit. Attentive, competent and rarely had such good conversation over a meal. We'll definitely be back!!!

The food is great, but for me the price-performance ratio doesn't add up. Meat dishes partly €28 and up and vegetarian/vegan €17 and up. The service was a little overwhelmed by the number of guests, but still very friendly.

We recently tried the lunch buffet and were unfortunately disappointed with the quality. The ghormeh sabzi tasted like an unknown dish, and sabzipolo with cumin is not part of Persian cuisine. Ratatouille also has no place in a Persian kitchen. Overall the quality was very disappointing, although we previously enjoyed dinner here.

A very pleasant atmosphere. Nice team. The food was also very tasty. Thank you for everything!

Okay, but not the highlight of the year. The service was somehow strange, and the price-performance ratio simply wasn't right. I left there without starter or dessert with over €40 as a single person.

Beautiful atmosphere, great service and everything was delicious! We always enjoy coming here.

Ich würde uns als Gourmets bezeichnen. D.h. wir haben einige Erfahrung in internationaler und gehobener Küche. Uns schmeckt aber auch der "Döner ums Eck". Da Persisch eher selten ist, haben wir uns nach einiger Überlegung fürs Dajoo entschieden. Ausschlaggebend war die Webseite. Diese ist - ich muss es so deutlich sagen - Fake. Weder die Gerichte, noch das Interieur sehen auch nur ansatzweise so aus, wie auf der Onlinepräsentation. Die Bedienung war freundlich, aber unendlich langsam - wir haben 15 Minuten auf Getränke gewartet. Generell wirkten alle her unmotiviert. Aber das Schlimmste war das Essen. Teilweise wirklich eklig, mit starken Bitternoten. Das Mittagsbuffet als "überschaubar" zu bezeichnen ist ein Euphemismus. Da waren 6 oder 7 Gerichte auf den Rechauds und als "Nachtisch" eine Schüssel Schokopudding (!) aus dem Aldi. Klassisch persisch würde ich sagen. Das beste waren noch die Cocktails mit Granatapfelkomponente und Minze. Und das Ganze für stramme 90 €...wow...hätten wir vorher mal unsere Nachbar gefragt. Die haben vor einem Jahr exakt die gleiche Erfahrung gemacht und werden dort sicher nie mehr hin gehen...so do we. Das nächste mal lieber ein ECHTER Perser, gerne für 20 € mehr in FFM...da solls sowas geben.

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be. 1. Where has all the workforce that existed before gone? I know one waiter from before, but the rest seem to have been replaced. I could be wrong and I've had a strange day. 2. I'm sorry but I have to say something to the young waiter with the bun: My girlfriend and I felt uncomfortable because of him. He behaved very pushy and often expressed himself in a grumpy way, for example asking several times within a short period of time and then actually saying "What about the main course" when asked for the third time. We just wanted to spend time there in peace and not swallow everything down. Extremely unfortunate and doesn't fit the image I had of this restaurant for years. 3. Food is still tasty but no longer up to the level I'm used to from you. Saffron rice?!? no longer deserves the name. Aperitif delicious but way too sweet. Somehow the love and balance is missing here, prices are rising everywhere but I'm no longer willing to pay for what is delivered. It's a shame, you've been one of my favorite restaurants for the last 10 years. I won't be coming back for a while.

Everything was great - the lunch buffet was very rich and great for vegetarians 👍🏻

The most perfect and best Persian restaurant that I had seen so far after 23 years of living in Germany. I drove from Frankfurt to Darmstadt specifically to experience this Persian ambience. It was probably worth it and we were very satisfied and surprised. The service was great, especially Kasra, the waiter, who not only looked after us very well, but also looked after all the guests very politely. Thank you for this excellent day The food was great and great. Of course the corresponding prices were also quite higher than in Frankfurt or Cologne but, the food was of 1 A quality!!!

Super delicious food; extremely courteous and very friendly service; extremely recommended

It is a restaurant we prefer because its meat is halal cut. The welcome and service were good. The food was very delicious and satisfying. We liked it very much. A quiet and pleasant environment. We are satisfied.

Food tasty, large portion, price reasonable

Very very tasty and nice staff :-)

Our favorite place for special occasions. As always, the food was a poem. You should reserve seats. Persian cuisine with very good ingredients. Simply delicious.

At the end of April we had dinner at Djadoo with 5 people (based on a recommendation). The restaurant is beautifully designed and we were given a comfortable seat in a niche. The service was super friendly and accommodating, especially Markus Urbansky :-) and we immediately felt very comfortable. The menu offers a very large selection of food, even for newcomers to Persian cuisine :-) We had a starter, main course and dessert. Everything was well prepared and very tasty. The dishes are higher priced but the quality is very good and the price/performance ratio is right. The visit was absolutely worth it and we definitely recommend it 👍

The food was good and the service was friendly.

Super nice staff and brilliant food. It wasn't the last time we were there.

Delicious dishes at a high price but where the quality is also good. The menu starts at 20 euros and ends at 35 euros per dish. We like to eat there, an absolute recommendation but not for those on a budget.

The location of the restaurant and the terrace for sitting outside are really nice. However, I was a bit disappointed with the taste of the food and have had better experiences. The service, however, was good and very accommodating.

The food is quite tasty. But for the price I expect fantastic cuisine. The cuisine is good, but far too expensive for what is on offer.
