Restaurant Risso in Düsseldorf

Great Persian food with authentic flavors, showcasing rich, aromatic spices, tender meats, and perfectly cooked rice that honor traditional recipes.

Lamb filet kebab and chicken kebap strongly suggested, very good tea 😊 worth a try if you’re new to Persian kitchen or not. So far best we tried in Düsseldorf

Thanks for perfect food 😊🫶 Always happy 😊

We had Chengeh & Koubideh, both were tender and juicy 👌🏼they are really nice and welcoming. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Very tasty, nice staff, great atmosphere.

We were pleasantly surprised! All skewer dishes were very juicy and tasty. Side dishes are also consistently great! Will definitely come back.

I ordered my favorite Persian food via Uber Eats today. Previously I wrote to the restaurant asking if they could please make the rice with barberries (because I like it a lot). The food arrived on time and still hot, and my wish was fulfilled. It tasted very tasty. Unknown to me, I thank you for the delicious food and cannot understand the strange negative comments. I am completely satisfied. Gladly again!

Friendly staff and very tasty food. Gladly again

The employees were all super nice and helpful. I still dream about the food today, as good as it tasted. Absolute recommendation! We'd love to come back!

Der Personal waren sehr sehr gastfreundlich. Sie waren sehr freundlich zu unserem Kind. Die lammspieß (Kababe Barg) und Hähnchenspieß waren super und sehr frisch. Preis-Leistung ist auch wirklich fair. Alles war sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

Food: great Staff: very friendly, especially child-friendly. Location: clean and cozy Price-performance was really fair.

Amazing service and the food was great! The chicken was sooo moist and tender like I have never tried before. Amazing!

Very nice staff, Boshghabe Maze was great and Polokabab was perfect 👌👌👌👌

Enjoyed the taste of saffron on rice which added extra flavour on chicken too. I wish there was more of it :) I tried vegetarian appetisers, they were delicious. Thank you for the service and cosy atmosphere!

Super tasty and absolutely authentic

Great food, relaxing atmosphere

"Your food was really bad. The rice was not only unsalted but also undercooked. I've been to many restaurants that didn't have good rice, but I had never actually seen someone serve raw rice. It was very strange. We ordered koobideh kebab, which was not good at all. The amount of fat used and the quality of the meat were inappropriate, making it extremely tough, and it was also burnt. Regarding the doogh (yogurt drink), I think the person who made it had never tasted doogh before. It was completely sweet and tasteless. The only thing we had that wasn't bad was the marinated olives, which were slightly better than average."

Best restaurant I ever been to and the best Persian food I ever had! Very nice staff and owner 🙌🏻 High quality food

I ordered Joje and Kebab Kubide from you yesterday October 16, 24 at 7:00 p.m., but unfortunately the chicken was sour and the rice was totally mushy because it had apparently been sitting for too long. This is the second time I've been dissatisfied with the quality of your food. You used to have the best quality, but unfortunately that is no longer the case. I'm not satisfied

Unfortunately it's not as good as it used to be! No longer recommended. Koobideh and Djooje today wasn't good at all!

Very attentive and friendly service. Pleasant waiting times for the starter and main course (two-person meal). Drink prices for a bottle of wine and mineral water were very pleasant. We felt very comfortable for 2 hours.

If you want to experience the best Persian cuisine in Germany, then I definitely recommend this restaurant 🤗🤗🤗

The Persian restaurant Risso completely convinced me! Super friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and delicious dishes. The vegetarian options were also fantastic. A real highlight – will definitely come back!

4.4/5 I have visited this restaurant a total of 4-5 times. It's a nice, stylish and relatively inexpensive restaurant in our neighborhood. The mezze and dishes are really delicious. It's full on Fridays and weekends, but that creates a very cozy atmosphere. In my opinion, the speed of the service is okay. Regarding the ambience of the restaurant: I have to give a subjective opinion here, as it is perfectly located for me due to its proximity to my home. I think the restaurant could do with a bit of renovation, but even as it is, it's quite attractive. I can recommend it to everyone.

Gutes persisches Restaurant in Düsseldorf, in der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs und des A&O Hotels. Man bekommt eine kleine Portion persische „Salade Olivieh“ mit persischem Brot, die nicht verrechnet wurde. Beides war sehr lecker. Ich habe als Hauptspeise Chelokabab Vaziri gehabt. Es hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Bedienung, möglicherweise die Inhaberin des Lokals, war sehr freundlich. Sollte ich wieder nach Düsseldorf kommen, werde ich dort auf jeden Fall wieder essen.

Excellent food and great service. Loved the Persian ice cream!

1 star because 0 doesn't work: Disgusting people, food tastes bad and leftover food and garbage are blown onto the street with a leaf blower every day. The restaurant should show a little more environmental awareness. Right in the middle of the city.

It's a shame I can't give 0 stars. Food gets 2 stars because it was too cold. Service: 0 why? The service staff were very unfriendly and even rude. I have never experienced such ignorance. Please and thank you are out of place here. If you are planning a romantic evening you should go somewhere else. Not recommended 👎🏾

Restaurant just doesn't have a line sometimes good and sometimes extremely bad That's why I won't come anymore Currently Safran Tak and Olive are much higher quality and the food is always the same quality

It is my first time to try it , and it was a great and lovely experience

They really know their job. Thinking about everything.

Amazing! Service was good, food taste same good as it should be, I loved it

My friend and I were super satisfied with our meals. The kebab was great and juicy, the rice quality and amount however could be better. The atmosphere was warm and pretty with nostalgic Persian music in the background. The host was welcoming and friendly. Only one problem remains, there were mosquitoes all around the restaurant flying over our food. We'll definitely visit again and try out the other items on the menu.👍🏻

Very respectful and professional staff. They treated us very well. We had a very good feeling here (Zafron Miri Restaurant) , creditors always) We ordered chanje and berg, we didn't try the stewed food, but the Shirazi salad was really great, it was made at the same time and it was fresh. The environment was very clean and tidy. Overall it was good But I think the meat was beef, which is not my taste, of course they said it was mutton

Nice staff Amazing food Nice atmosphere

I can say this was the best Iranian food I've ever had in Germany. Both the Kubideh and chicken kebabs hit the spot and were really tender. The service quality was also good. The behavior of the owners and employees is most important to me when it comes to service, and it was great there (which sometimes lacks in Persian restaurants).

I went twice, it was great, I will go to Dusseldorf a hundred times, I will go here again, the manager was very kind and friendly 😍😍😊😊

Very respectful staff and so nice food. My best experience among Iranian restaurants in Germany.

The food at this restaurant is inconsistent - sometimes OK, but sometimes disappointing. It's hard to say why, but unfortunately my guests and I were disappointed once. On the positive side, however, the staff were generally friendly and courteous, which is unfortunately not always the case in Iranian restaurants.

Fue la mejor experiencia de comida y servicio 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍esta fue mi primera vez que la satisfacción me hizo dejar un comentario

The conditions are catastrophe. The people who serve there are totally disrespectful and are rude to customers. The food was wonderful and delicious. So the kitchen gets 5 stars and conditions ZERO star.

This was the best lamb food I have ever tasted in Europe. Staff is very friendly, and food is delicious.

The worse GhormehSabzi I ever had in my life! The cheap canned GhormehSabzis are much bettter!

Very tasty, both the starters and the grilled skewers. There were two Tahdig variations on offer, which were also very tasty! The swearing in was friendly and courteous. Happy to come back!

The food came quickly though. But the food didn't taste like anything. Ordered an appetizer. The bread was bone dry. The baguette we ordered was like rubber. So I would never eat there again.

Risso was one of the best experiences of my gastronomic life. I do recomend It!

Mixed starter, main course and dessert. Everything fresh and very tasty. Family atmosphere. Absolutely recommended. Even the mint tea is made with love. We'll definitely be back!// Addendum...celebrated my father's birthday here today. With 10 people. It was fantastic. Everything very tasty and fresh. Whether for meat eaters or vegetarians. Persian cuisine is very tasty when authentic. That's the case here! Thank you!

Good persian food, prices are ok. They accept card and cash.

The food was delicious and greasy

Usually we try Iranian restaurants when we travel and we found this restaurant based on rate and reviews and I’m happy that it was reliable! The food was good, home made and fresh. We tried kashke bademjan which was good , zeytoon parvarde was not my favorite one. Dough ( drink) was great. I liked khoresht gheyme bademjan more than Vaziri kebab but my friend liked the taste of kebab and jooje. The staff were polite.

Very tasty and fresh food. Generous portions and acceptable asking price.

The service is very friendly and the food is very tasty and authentic. In addition, each portion is very large.

We have visited Persian restaurants several times, but have been customers here for 7 years and are always satisfied with the food and staff. The grill dishes are all very tasty and freshly prepared. Highly recommended

It’s an absolute the best Iranian food outside the country. Everything tastes like you are in Iran.

Very tasty there and the staff are also very friendly. Parking is a disaster! But that's the case almost everywhere.

Update: We ordered a mixed grilled plate, and it was amazingly delicious. Farah Cocktail brought me back memories from Iran; pomegranate taste with Kashmar was a nice touch. Food quality has improved significantly. Sides are very attractive and tasty. Menu has been extended to cover more persian foods. They now have to go boxes as well. Staff and management did a great job last evening. Kebabs were 10/10 would recommend 👌

Im here to correct my review from 4 years ago, kebabs are delicious, the mezze plate was served in a large portion, cocktails are are very unique. The atmosphere is calm and not loud. Tahdig with Gheime was the best part

Miserable quality. Kubideh only looked white due to the immensely high fat content. The smell is unacceptable. Chicken skewers greasy, correspondingly inedible. The ladies tried very hard, even if our food came little by little and 2 of 6 dishes were wrong. Unfortunately, after being disappointed twice, we will no longer be visiting this restaurant

Very tasty, very inexpensive, large selection

The restaurant has very tasty traditional dishes and many vegetarian options! My partner and I often rave about the delicious food there weeks before our date. The staff are friendly and are happy to pack up any leftover food.

The food was ok. The waiter and waitress were not friendly

First they say you come there is place , when u arrive they say no we didnt say that but you can sit . Then they said get up there are people waiting we didnt even eat ... 0 professionalism .

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal aber kein Parkplatz in der Nähe, Absolut gefährlich da falsch Parken... Their food is great and the staff is very kind, but the wrong parking on the side of the street is very dangerous

The food took an excessively long time to be served, arriving 1 hour and 30 minutes after we placed our order, despite having a reservation. This delay caused us to be late for our subsequent plans after leaving the restaurant. The restaurant was busy and totally out of control of personnel and management. When we complained about the delayed service, the response was not polite, made us to escalate the issue to the management. The manager's response was that they had a lot of outside orders!!!! The food quality was disappointing, especially the Jooje kebab, which was the worst. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant at all!

The staff are among the best and most professional. The taste of the food was excellent and wonderful! Even though it was a busy day, we decided to go and did not make a reservation in advance, but they guided us in the best possible and respectful way and we were able to enjoy our time and food in a very friendly and peaceful environment. Many thanks to the professional staff of Risso restaurant

NEVER AGAIN!! The food was served in the restaurant 90 minutes after we ordered, even though we had booked in advance. When we asked for a reason after waiting for an hour, the staff didn't apologize or even try to listen to us and just replied: It's not just you who are waiting!! and left the table while we were still talking to her! We understand that the restaurant was very busy and everything was beyond their control, but proper behavior towards the customer has nothing to do with it. Also, if they don't have enough staff for the large number of customers, they should stop accepting reservations. So disappointing and unprofessional.

Very tasty, great juicy kebab. You can enjoy really good Persian food here. Restaurant itself is very simply decorated and has no decorative atmosphere.

We have been regular guests at Risso (formerly Rivass) for more than 20 years and as a Persian I can confirm that you get the best Persian food in NRW here. No matter where I eat Persian food, Risso is the gold standard. From the starters to the grilled dishes and desserts, Mr. Daryabeigi and his team consistently offer quality at the highest level. I would like to mention the stewed dishes (“Khoresht”). As a local you only eat them at home because they are stale in most restaurants. Only here do they taste really good and are also offered as vegetarian/vegan.

You can't beat the hospitality and friendliness. Excellent food from real Iranians, there is something for everyone here :)

Alles super lecker, tolles kulinarisches Geschmackserlebnis

Every think Was great especially their Djudje!

Sehr leckere persische Küche. Waren zum “Buffet Abend” da. Vorspeisen waren sehr köstlich, leider wenig Fleischgerichte zur Auswahl und keine Desserts. 21:30 war es leider schon vorbei und das Personal war am aufräumen, das muss vorher schon kommuniziert werden.

This food was not good. I've had better Persian food in the states, stuttgart, istanbul. I was pretty bummed out. I had the chicken and saffron rice. 18 euros. Not worth it. Chicken had stringy fat on it... wasn't thoroughly grilled. Had to leave half of it. Bland saffron rice. Won't recommend and won't go again

nicht der Erwartung angesprochen, sehr laut könnte man nicht eigne Wort zu verstehen, nicht so gemütliche Atmosphäre, für einmal ist okay !

Unser Besuch im Risso Restaurant war leider äußerst enttäuschend. Wir haben die Gerichte Alu Hawij und Bamieh bestellt, und sie waren unglaublich schlecht. Die Preise waren hoch, aber die Qualität des Essens ließ stark zu wünschen übrig. Das Hühnchen war nicht richtig durchgekocht und roch unangenehm, und auch das Fleisch war enttäuschend. Alles in allem können wir das Restaurant nicht empfehlen.

I had Baghali Polo with lambs shank and Djudje Kabab and they were awesome. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices

Also hier gibt’s alles für JEDEN! Preis : Top Geschmack : noch Toper😁

Great food and friendly staff! Really enjoyed the night

Food was awesome. I had Koobideh. What impressed me the most was the difference in service here and other restaurants.

It’s a nice place. Food is good, staff are helpful. Lacks a bit of light or heating. Overall, feels like a cosy local place

Sehrrrrrrr Lecker, beste Empfang und nette Mitarbeitern

Alles wirklich top! Authentisches Essen in großen Portionen, superschnelle und freundliche Bedienung und sind auch bei Fragen immer sofort an den Tisch gekommen :)

there was a hair in my food, and the waiter didnt accept it and said that its yours . thats shame . certainly I dont recommend this place

The service was awfuly bad, actually there was a hair in my meal et i just call the waitness to notify about this incident but she agressed me to check my hair colour... very disppointed about this place and i dont recommended it

The best persian food in the world 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💗💗💗

Wir sind zufällig bei Risso zum Abendessen rein. Das Ambiente kann definitiv verbessert werden. Allerdings ist das überhaupt nicht weiter störend. Es war köstlich! 😍 Auf Anfrage wurde uns bestätigt, dass das Fleisch halal ist. Preis-Leistung ist mega. Der Service war sehr freundlich und schnell. Alles war sehr sauber! Wir werden wieder kommen und können jedem den Besuch bei Risso weiterempfehlen.

Ich habe Essen bestellt zum mitnehmen und ich habe die Coca-Cola auf solche Flasche bekommen erste Mal hab ich sowas gesehen😳😳

Teuer und das Essen ist überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen, richtige Enttäuschung einmal und nie wieder.

Alles einfach super ,immerhin wird empfohlen.

Despite the good staff and friendly atmosphere, I didn’t enjoyed the food. The starters (Yogurt with cucumbers and yogurt with grilled eggplant) was mediocre. Kubideh was not delicious at all. Unfortunately a smelly bio melted butter was poured on the Barg Kebab, which I really didn’t like. When using such ingredients, it would be nice to ask the customer if they like it or not. Not my taste at all. The tea was amazing though.

متاسفانه کیفیت برنج قابل قبول نبود

Primera vez en un restaurante de comida persa. Todo estaba muy bueno y los platos bastante abundantes.

Meine heutige Geschmackssensation war das FESSENJUN. Bei dem persischen Gericht Fesenjan wird das Fleisch in einer Soße aus Granatapfel und Walnuss geschmort. Der Reis wurde separat serviert. Ich finde es toll, dass sie die Desserts als gemischten Teller anbieten, so dass man zwei oder in meinem Fall drei Desserts (MASHTI EIS, FALUDEH & RESHTE KHOSHKAR), auf einmal genießen kann. Ich wurde freundlich begrüßt und zwischendurch gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung sei, ob es schmeckt. Ich finde es sehr angenehm, dass das Restaurant nicht mit Tischen überfüllt ist, es ist immer genug Platz, es gibt auch Sitzplätze im Freien.

Amazing persian food, big portions and very fare prices. Highly recommend!

Food was really the best. Only atmosphere can improve so it feels more cozy. Overall really good.

Vriendelijke personeel, vrolijk plek Heerlijk gereten, snelle service همه چی عالی و خوشمزه ، و بسیار تمیز

Wir haben heute einen sehr netten Abend im Risso verbracht. Das Essen hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Service war ausgezeichnet, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Schade, dass wir weiter weg wohnen, sonst würden wir hier öfter einkehren. Aber beim nächsten Besuch in Düsseldorf kommen wir wieder. Danke an das Team vom Risso. 🙏

Good Persien cousin with a friendly staff. Soraya cocktail is also very lovely.

The payment system was not working when my friend and I went there. There was no notice on the door or anywhere else about this issue. The staff also didn’t inform us at the beginning. After having our dinner, when we wanted to pay, she said that we had to pay in cash since the payment system was not working. My friend had to walk a lot to find an ATM late in the evening. It was a big issue for us since we were in Düsseldorf for the first time and we weren’t familiar with the city. Other than that, the food was good.

Schmeckt sehr gut aber war bisschen teuer
