Oliven restaurant in Rostock

The food was very tasty, especially the grilled skewers, which were still very juicy. A complimentary herb plate was also included. Service was friendly and quick. The portion was generous; the appetizer could have been omitted.

Specializing in Iranian cuisine, a professional team, I highly recommend it 👌👌👌

You immediately feel very welcome. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff is extremely friendly. The food we ordered exceeded our expectations. Not only was it beautifully presented, but it was also a culinary delight! This certainly won't be our last visit to the Oliven Restaurant.

Super friendly staff, lots of helpful advice, a free appetizer, and a small tea to finish. Very, very good value for money.

We received exceptionally warm hospitality, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended for lovers of Persian cuisine!

The staff were super nice and the food tasted really good, also very large portions

A truly beautiful, traditional Persian restaurant! The Oliven in Rostock delights with attentive service and authentic dishes that not only taste delicious but are also presented traditionally on the plate – just as they are eaten in Iran. The staff is incredibly friendly and happy to explain the dishes and their preparation. You can tell the passion they use here. Everything is fresh, the red spice – I think I'll have to order Rhus for myself somewhere. The chicken is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

A genuine Persian restaurant; it used to be a Greek restaurant. Family-run. Reasonable prices. Authentic, but with little gastronomic training, but still good food. The son speaks good German, but you can manage without him.

This was our third visit to the restaurant with our children. It remains an absolute delight! Large portions, absolutely reasonable prices, and the food is so delicious. The service creates a friendly atmosphere, and we love the saffron ice cream! We'd love to come back :)

Super friendly, attentive staff. Great ambiance. Very, very good food; I highly recommend the starters. Our questions about the food were answered in a friendly manner. Many thanks to the team; we had a wonderful evening.

The food was delicious, and the service was super friendly and accommodating. If we call ahead next time, my wife will even get her favorite dish prepared, even though it's not on the menu. We'll definitely be back.

It was my first time eating Persian food, and I really enjoyed it. It had to be a 5-star restaurant.

The restaurant was simply fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive – you immediately felt welcome. The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared with lots of love. I'll definitely be back!

Super delicious food, very friendly service. If we're ever in Rostock again, we'll definitely be back! 👍❤️

Very, very good food, very friendly staff. The manager is also super nice. We'll go back here anytime.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, even when it took me too long to decide because the menu has so many choices. The ambiance is extremely beautiful and inviting; I felt very comfortable. You can see the attention to detail in the furnishings and decor. The food arrived quite quickly and it was a generous portion! It was also incredibly delicious. I discovered this restaurant by chance and think it's one of the best restaurants in Rostock.

I ordered online. A supposedly delicious lamb dish. The whole meal was a disappointment. The sauce only contained three pieces that could be called lamb. It may be different in the restaurant itself, but I didn't find anything appealing in terms of taste.

Very nice service, wonderful food, we will gladly come again

What a lovely place to enjoy a delicious meal in a pleasant atmosphere. The selection is excellent, the dishes were delicious, the owner was incredibly friendly, and the prices were more than reasonable. I stumbled upon it by chance and will definitely be back.

Very authentic ambiance. The food and service were excellent. We would love to come back.

A cold appetizer plate is great! Some appetizers are pickled. These pair very well with the yogurt-based appetizers. A appetizer plate with herbs and bread is also great: the herbs add a pleasant freshness! The main course portions are generous.

I had no experience with Persian cuisine. The junior chef brought out what he liked best – it was amazing, super delicious, great ambiance, and friendly staff/chef family. A definite recommendation

Super delicious food, great service, we'll be back again and again! 🤗

Beautifully decorated, relaxing music, and very friendly service. The food was incredibly delicious—but it somehow sat heavy in my stomach for a long time… maybe because of all the fat?

It was a lovely evening. The man (I think the owner) who served us was very friendly and always had a smile on his face. He gave us excellent advice and was available to answer any questions. The food was delicious, and there was a wide selection. There was something for every taste. We'll be back again and again, and we're happy to do so. This restaurant deserves more attention. 😋

Really delicious, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A great experience. I'll definitely be back. 🌹🙏

It was a wonderful evening for my wife and me. We received a warm welcome, and the service was very attentive without being intrusive. Since it was our first time there, each dish was personally presented to us by the chef, and we even had a few tastings. Everything was freshly prepared, and you can taste it. We will be back several times; there's still so much to try.

What a fantastic restaurant! We spent a wonderful evening here with delicious food and super friendly service. I highly recommend it!

Always better than last time. Delicious and I hope it stays that way 👌👌

I recommend Zeytoun Restaurant for its quality and authentic Iranian food, excellent service, and great atmosphere.

Truly delicious food, wonderful hospitality, and excellent service. We'd love to go back!

Hidden behind the residential buildings, nice ambience and very tasty food

Today I was introduced to this restaurant by a recommendation from German friends. The quality of the food is excellent. I ordered the Daisy and really enjoyed every bite, remembering my homeland. Thank you and we will definitely come again.

Good people, get Cay, good food, good shop, very satisfied

Highly recommended! The food is fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and creates a comfortable atmosphere. I'll be back again and again!

I have been living in Germany for a year and am of ethnic Indian, but I love Persian cuisine and have eaten mostly in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, but the best Persian dishes are definitely served here.

We stopped by spontaneously and had a delicious meal and drinks (Persian black tea!). The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely be back!

A truly great restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious and there's a wide selection of dishes – there's something for every taste. The atmosphere is pleasantly quiet, perfect for relaxing and enjoying yourself. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness – everything seems very well-maintained and tidy. I can truly recommend this restaurant to everyone and will definitely be back.

Very friendly, attentive service, delicious food, and excellent value for money. I'll be happy to come back.

The restaurant is very authentic, the service is great and the food is very delicious! What else you could ask for:-) I recommend visiting this restaurant whenever you are in Rostock, you will not regret it! There was a small misunderstanding in my order but the owner insisted to give me an extra meal with my correct order although the false order was super delicious and I was totally fine with it! Thank you for taking an extra care for your guests!

Always delicious and highly recommended. The appetizer selection is really good.

I recommend this restaurant, very tasty to eat

Delicious, authentic and friendly

Very polite and the food was very tasty

Very good food, very unique and incredibly delicious. The owner gave us great advice and explained a lot. We'd love to come back.

Food and service 20/10. Vegan dishes are also available upon request. We'd love to come back.

A highly recommended restaurant. The service is very friendly and, as we're from Thuringia, they gave us excellent advice on our meal choices. All four of us were very satisfied. I had the lamb and chicken skewers, which you rarely get.

Probably the best Persian food in Germany (at least better than you'd get in Berlin) is served here by incredibly friendly people. Everything is perfect.

Yes, this restaurant is recommended. Authentic, delicious food, lovingly and freshly prepared and served. We spent a wonderful evening at the Oliven restaurant with four adults and two children. There was a welcome from the kitchen, homemade flatbread with fresh salad, herbs, and cream cheese, mixed cold and warm appetizers (all delicious; my favorite was Kashke Bademjan, eggplant cream), a main course with a grilled lamb, chicken with delicious basmati saffron rice, and grilled vegetables, and Persian ice cream and faludeh for dessert. The service was exemplary, competent, and in a family atmosphere. The host took great pleasure in advising us and our grandchildren, who were thrilled with his recommendation (grilled chicken with basmati butter saffron rice instead of the "children's plate") and ate everything! Our family is familiar with Arabic cuisine and receives high praise for the dishes with their varied seasonings. We absolutely loved the house dough (a yogurt drink with mint). We made a reservation by phone the same day, and everything went smoothly. Only finding parking in the backyard was a bit tricky, but we arrived early enough and found good spots.

Never again No meat in the kubide, just soy. The lamb kebab was also too hard and inedible. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I was there on July 9th.

Very delicious food and super friendly staff. I highly recommend the Persian yogurt drink (if you like it sour).

Very tasty, tender meat dishes, and I also loved the Persian ice cream for dessert. Friendly, attentive service. I'll be happy to come back.

Amazing food with reasonable prices, friendly staff and very relaxed atmosphere, free parking available at the property ❤️

For all those looking for awesomely delicious food, You should come here

Thank you, the food was delicious. Very friendly service. Beautiful ambiance. I'll be happy to come back.

Two of us (and our dog) ate there today. The food was ready quickly, tasted very authentic, and was relatively inexpensive. Overall, it was excellent. We especially recommend the desserts, which offer something truly new for the German palate. We'd love to come back!

It had been on our to-do list for a while. We finally made it. Making a reservation by phone was a breeze. A good selection of dishes, and the preparation time was also reasonable. The only drawback was the heaters, which couldn't be turned down.

Great restaurant – very friendly staff and the food is delicious! 🫶🏼

“Inviting restaurant with a warm atmosphere. Traditional Persian and vegetarian dishes – fresh, tasty and inexpensive!”

Very tasty food, nice staff. Top restaurant

This is what hospitality looks like! I have gotten pick-up and delivery several times. Yesterday, the restaurant mixed up my delivery order. The next day, I called to inform them and they immediately delivered the correct item, free of charge - thank you so much. Possibly the best customer service I've experienced in Germany. Great to have new flavours enter the culinary map of Rostock, too. Food is delicious, although the vegetarian selection could be bigger.

Delicious food, enthusiastic staff.

Very tasty food, especially the rice was great.

Everything was fine. It was a nice evening and the price-performance ratio was good. Very friendly service.

Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly service, what more could you want. Clear recommendation to stop by and test it yourself. Nice addition to the catering offer in Rostock. Keep it up 😀

Negative comments and opinions will be deleted.

Spicy dishes, warm service and delicious baklava. Thanks for the great food. We'll be back! 5 out of 5 stars deserved

Super tasty eaten full early recommended

*“The food was excellent! The taste was unique, everything was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant. I will definitely come back!”*

We had dinner there last Saturday and it was great. The food is authentic (I know Persian cuisine very well) and the service is very attentive and friendly. There is nothing to complain about, we will definitely come back on our next visit.

Incredibly great, authentic and friendly service. Not to be compared with the service desert Germany.

Very tasty, always a pleasure ☺️

Wow. We were here on February 14th for Valentine's Day. Despite the fact that the restaurant was very full, we were greeted very friendly and seated straight away. Cards were brought to us immediately and someone came quickly to take our order. We didn't have to wait long for drinks and food and everything tasted wonderful. Definitely recommended!!!! Great food, great service, great ambience

A very successful evening with you, the food was very good and the service was also great. Would love to come back

Delicious Iranian food with very friendly staff! I can just recommend it!

In the heart of this Iranian restaurant, the magic of taste and aroma is mixed with the art of cooking. Every bite is a journey into the heart of ancient traditions, where saffron, cinnamon and Omani lemon tell a story of love and skill alongside tender meat and long grain rice. But what makes these moments sweeter is enjoying food with family. When the pleasant aroma wafts in the air and eager eyes gather around the table, each spoon becomes a warm and pleasant memory. The seductive aroma, the eye-catching colors and the taste that penetrates to the depths of the soul... an experience that brings not only the stomach, but also the hearts closer together. We celebrated these happy moments together and you can share this pure taste with your loved ones. Along with the unique food, the hospitality and friendliness of the staff will double the warmth of this experience! My family and I were very satisfied and I recommend it to all Iranians and Persian speakers.

Very welcoming with a jovial atmosphere. Really delicious dishes.

Very tasty food. Persian music and ambience round off the visit. The staff is very friendly. I'd love to come back.

Poor and disrespectful management. My criticism is not about your food, but about the disrespectful behavior and Your irresponsibility. Schwaches und respektlose Management. Meine Kritik affects not Ihr Essen, sondern Ihr respektlose Verhalten und Ihre Verantwortunglosigkeit.

The quality of the food is very ordinary and the management is very very disrespectful, uncritical and rude.

The food was cold, improper treatment and incomplete order Nie wieder

Very friendly staff. Despite not having made a reservation, a table for seven people was arranged for us. The food tasted good. Cozy restaurant

Take “shisha” out of the name on Google if you don’t offer it. Bruh

Simply great restaurant! Delicious dishes, very nice people. You feel very comfortable❤️.

The food was cold! The portions aren't that big either, the meat is sliced ​​very thinly

Very friendly staff, delicious food

Authentic Persian, delicious food, great Persian ambience and Persian warmth invite you to linger. Everything is very tasty here. My favorite restaurant here in Rostock. I hope you stay with the city for a long time. Sepaz gozaram ❤️🌺

In my opinion there is only one word “PERFECT”

My absolute favorite in Rostock. Unfortunately it's no longer an insider tip, but at least the store stays that way. Great dishes and originally prepared. The price-performance ratio is great

Perfect food, great hospitality. Honestly the best persian restaurant in north germany ! Soltani or Bakhriari is recommended !

Ate super tasty. Both the starters and the main course, but you definitely have to try the rose ice cream.

Very very tasty food. I'm glad that there's finally not just fried food in Rostock, but grilled fresh food. I ordered a lot of barbecue things and it really didn't take that long, even though the store was full.

I had dinner there with a Swedish family member. We were very well advised on the choice of food, as we didn't know Persian cuisine that well. Everything was very tasty and plentiful. The mushroom soup is also particularly recommended.

Super friendly staff, delicious food and nice atmosphere. The price/performance ratio is also right. We will definitely come back.

Always nice.. Food tastes great.. Service is nice and accommodating.. Ambiance is very inviting and a cozy atmosphere. Whenever we are in Rostock we always like to come by.

Well recommend, everyone helpfull and the food very good

One of the best restaurants I ate at in Germany

Hospitality with good food, what more could you want🙏

Food was really delicious. Unfortunately, not everything went smoothly when ordering, but it wasn't that bad. The restaurant is overall atmospheric and nicely decorated. Overall, a clear recommendation, especially because it is somewhat hidden and inconspicuous in an inner courtyard and offers a good and welcome change compared to the other restaurants in the area! 👍

Great food, new and beautiful experiences, committed team, great price-performance ratio
