Saifi Kabul Sheer Yakh Restaurant in Mainz

There were four of us. Our table was almost too small for the delicious food. But the service team placed the plates perfectly and everyone could enjoy their food.

Fantastic home cooking. Nicely prepared. Super tasty.

I had the pleasure of visiting this Afghan restaurant and it was a fantastic experience! The dishes were authentic and full of flavor especially the kebab and the saffron rice and sheer yakh were outstanding.

Simply delicious 😋. No negative features.

Food wasn't tasty at all, and everything was cold and service was rude, I will never go back and I don't recommend it to anyone

Visited this restaurant today by chance and just loved it. Mega delicious!! Great service! Very cozy atmosphere! The Afghan ice cream is an absolute taste explosion right from the first spoonful. You have to try this. I will definitely come back and no longer by chance, but planned!

Very tasty and relatively inexpensive

Authentic Afghan food – a real taste experience! I had the pleasure of visiting this Afghan restaurant and absolutely loved it! As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a warm atmosphere and the pleasant scent of oriental spices. The food is authentic, fresh and full of flavor. I was particularly impressed by the tender lamb with fragrant saffron rice – simply heavenly! The vegetarian dishes are also excellently seasoned and lovingly prepared. The service is extremely friendly and attentive, so you feel completely comfortable. If you want to get to know or enjoy Afghan cuisine, you've come to the right place! I'll definitely come back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Highly recommended!

I can only recommend it. The restaurant has a very large selection of Afghan/Persian dishes and also desserts such as ice cream cakes and the famous and highly recommended sheer yakh. There is nothing wrong with the courts. A very friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Always happy🙃

The best afghan restaurant in Germany

In addition to the great food, there is a great family atmosphere and very friendly service. Everything we wanted was brought to us and everything we asked about traditional food was explained to us for our first visit. Definitely recommended!!!

It was raining heavily, so I wanted to take shelter for a moment until the bus came. (5 minutes) “It’s really rude what you’re doing here!! Please go back out immediately!” - in a nasty tone. Hm, ok, maybe the waiter is right, but if someone is so unfriendly about something like that, I will definitely never go out to eat! And I will recommend others not to do it either!

Cool location, nice boss, good food and affordable

Very nice restaurant, very tasty, fresh, really great, but your food service was very poor, the menu is really expensive, but very cheap, but very delicious.

A great spot for lunch, or ice cream, for sure. The staff were extremely friendly! The pizza was tasty (and the afghan food looked amazing!). I will definitely be returning!

The grill plate for 2 was very tasty. The employees were very friendly and helpful. In this respect I can only make one recommendation :).

Tasty food, polite staff, best facilities, polite waiters and a quiet place with soothing music. Saifi Kabul sheer yakh restaurant ❤️

I highly recommend it to everyone, come and try something good and you will come back

Small but nice, the trip from Cologne to Mainz was definitely worth it. Very tasty the food and the sheer yach.

Simply great! The restaurant exceeded all of our expectations. The service was extremely friendly and the food was an absolute highlight – really only the finest. We celebrated a birthday there last night and it was perfect! Can highly recommend it to everyone. 11/10 points!

Super delicious food and extremely nice staff. A clear recommendation!

We got a table at short notice on New Year's Eve. The food was very tasty and authentic - super tasty homemade! The team is so incredibly friendly and lovely - definitely a 12 out of 10! The whole atmosphere was very inviting and we felt very comfortable - perfect to start the new year. Next time we'll definitely try the homemade ice cream ❣️

Ma shaa Allah very tasty Sheer Yakh and also food wonderful as always perfect 👍🏼👍🏼

Everything was great, we really enjoyed it, service was friendly, food was delicious, value for money was great. Finally a spacious Helal restaurant in Mainz.

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service :)

Everything tastes so delicious here! Like at home. So as a starter I can only recommend Shor-Nakhod. Monbina was very well looked after.

Great food, nice and attentive service. We'd love to come back. Afghan ice cream was very fine. Recommended.

Everything was super delicious! Friendly staff! The grill plate is simply delicious.

Everything really tasted very good. Service was great too. The eye really catches on, everything is served very beautifully and specifically. I would recommend it to everyone.

Super delicious food!! The grill plate for 2 in particular is lavish and totally tasty :)

Amazing and delicious Afghan cuisine. Best one in Hessen

Simply great.. very tasty dishes and great service....always happy...

Very tasty food. A top restaurant. Top employees. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try Afghan cuisine.

High quality restaurant. I recommend it 👌

The food and service were excellent

Friendly Staff, very delicious Food!

Leider enttäuschend – schlechte Qualität und verdorbene Lebensmittel..!! 😡😡 I was very disappointed in my last order. The quality of the products was miserable. Mehrere Lebensmittel waren bereits verdorben oder standen kurz davor, ungenießbar zu werden. Die frischen Produkte sahen alles andere als frisch aus, und manche waren sogar verschimmelt. For the price, I would have expected much more. Es scheint, als würde hier nicht viel Wert auf Qualitätssicherung gelegt werden. Leider kann ich diesen Anbieter daher nicht mehr weiterempfehlen.!!! Sadly disappointing – poor quality and spoiled food Very disappointed with my last order. The quality of the products was very bad. Several food items were spoiled or close to inedible. The fresh produce did not look fresh at all and some were even moldy. Considering the price, I expected more. It seems they don't care much about quality control here. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this seller.

I really enjoy coming here to eat and can only warmly recommend eating here. I have tried all the dishes on the menu several times. Ice cream and cake are also very good. It's best to make reservations on weekend evenings. Also very good breakfast

I've eaten ice cream and drank coffee here a few times now. It was always very tasty. The Afghan ice cream was an interesting experience, but I didn't enjoy it. The classic varieties, on the other hand, were all quite good. As far as the main courses are concerned, we recommend sticking with the Afghan specialties. The rest is pretty bad or just cheap. The service isn't necessarily the friendliest either.

Saifi Kabul Sheer Yakh Restaurant is by far the best Afghan restaurant I have ever eaten at. The selection is impressive: from burgers and pizza to pasta and kebabs – everyone will find something here. Particularly noteworthy is the traditional ice cream Shiryakh, which you should definitely try. The service is extremely attentive. Absolutely recommended!

Wooooowwww how delicious it was, the food was very good, the staff was very friendly and attentive, the boss helped out himself, which I personally find really nice. The atmosphere was cozy and modern. We felt very comfortable all around and haven't eaten as well as we did today in a long time. Keep it up, you're great.

Safi Kabul Sher Yakh Restaurant offers a superb dining experience. The food was simply amazing, rich in flavors and very authentic. The service was attentive and professional, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. An absolutely recommended restaurant for everyone who appreciates good cuisine and excellent service!

An Afghan with Viennese style schnitzel, pizza, burgers and fries on the menu but no alcoholic drinks. . Small portion with a few bites of meat. . Next time we'll go somewhere else.

Very good restaurant, with authentic Afghan ice cream, nice music and very competent staff Absolutely clear recommendation!!

The food was a true taste experience. The quality of the food was excellent and everything was fresh and tastefully prepared. If you want to experience a taste explosion and gain a new experience, you should definitely try the house specialty: “Afghan ice cream”. I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We wanted sheeryach they said it would take 40 minutes then we said yes and just bought an ice cream then someone asked if they could get a sherryach and they came even later than us and said 5 minutes. We ordered a milkshake but it was just milk mixed with vanilla.

It's rather inconspicuous but one of the best Afghan restaurants you can find in Germany! Great service, great food! Performance is top… Keep it up 👍👍👍 I came especially from Heidelberg to eat there!🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very good service and nice employees. Food was also tasty, but not particularly special. Therefore 4/5 stars.

Everything was super delicious here as Aryana Restaurant in Frankfurt 🤮

Very tasty and top service. I'm really happy every time, keep it up

Poor service, you have to be careful not to break your tooth on (cardamom?)

As a frequent visitor from the Netherlands, I can confidently say that this Afghan restaurant in Frankfurt stands out for its exceptional service and outstanding cuisine. Every visit has been a delightful experience, marked by the warm hospitality and the meticulously prepared dishes. The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the Shiryagh, which surpasses any other I have tried. The rich flavors and the perfect balance of spices make it a standout dish. Each ingredient is fresh, and the attention to detail in the presentation is impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic Afghan culinary experience. It is a gem in Frankfurt that I always look forward to visiting whenever I am in the area.

Big portion of palao. Delicious.

They forgot our order despite saying they forgot twice!!!!! Just bad 🙅‍♀️

Very poorly organized restaurant. Even though we made reservations, there was no space. We would have to drive 70 km back.

Today we ended up in this beautiful location rather spontaneously. The food was just fantastic! you definitely have to try the ice cream at the end too. It's just a pleasure. This is an insider tip, we can only recommend it to everyone. Thanks again to the very nice host, who was always very accommodating and attentive. We'll be back!

Unfortunately like most Afghan restaurants, the service is very poor. With 50 guests a requirement that is completely overwhelming. Location and food was very tasty.

Very tasty food, great experience thank you very much

We have already ordered the breakfast offer for two occasions - once for a family celebration for 24 people, and last Sunday for a baby shower for 6 people. The breakfast is absolutely amazing! A huge selection, very aesthetically and lovingly prepared - drinks such as orange juice, coffee and water were included, egg dishes, fruit, cheese and sausage, fresh rolls, antipasti and sweet spreads! Everything your heart desires! And that for €10 per person! There is no comparable offer anywhere else in Mainz and the surrounding area! The operator and his service staff are also super friendly and accommodating, you can't help but feel completely at home! An absolute recommendation!

Very, very tasty food and nice restaurant with parking 👍🏻

Such a beautiful shop with such a pleasant atmosphere… super nice and friendly service and above all such delicious food and the best Shir yakh I've ever eaten!!! I always enjoy going there and so far I've never had anything to complain about! Simply great Keep it up 👍🏼

Super super delicious food! The Burani Banjan in particular was very, very tasty. The portions are plentiful and the food tastes great! The highlight is definitely the Afghan ice cream Sheer Yakh. Unfortunately, the only thing we could complain about is the service. For example, our drinks were unfortunately forgotten. However, the owner is very, very friendly and very accommodating. We can definitely recommend the restaurant!

Very very tasty food. I often eat Afghan food and it was the best ever! The ambience and location also fit well with the rest.

We are regulars and eat here once or twice a week. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is great.

We ate Afghan ice cream today with 16 people at Saifi Kabul Sheer Yakh, and I have to say the ice cream was excellent 👍. The staff was very nice and friendly and the prices are also very fair.

We are immersed in Afghan cuisine with frank tastes that take you on a journey. Let yourself be guided by the server's advice Very nice discovery for good value for money (validated by our Indian friend whose products from her country are the same)

What plain service here, really. We had to be patient for a full hour and a half while we waited for our order. And during that? The waiter happily serves the new customers. And we? Still sitting there like idiots and waiting! It's outrageous. Honestly, I don't recommend you eat there. Don't waste your time and money there

So! By far the worst restaurant in terms of service. 3 waiters had to take my order and after 2 hours I had to point out that I didn't get any food or drinks. And I'm pretty sure they have no experience in service. When the food came, it was cold, it hardly tasted good, for €20 a dish with 2 chicken skewers but only 6 chicken pieces?. Well, I'm an Afghan myself and I'm sure that the Afghans have at least 6 pieces per skewer. So sell the 1 skewer for the price of 2! Absolute rip off! When I asked why everything was taking so long, the cheeky answer was that it was busy. I'm sorry but that doesn't justify the fact that the meal takes 2-3 hours and that there are several questions. As an Afghan, I would like to recommend the Afghans to others, but unfortunately I can't do that here. Pure rip-off and inexperience. It's better to give it a wide berth. Only the Sheer Yakh can be recommended.

Super friendly hosts, incredibly delicious food and the Afghan ice cream for dessert --> really unique. We'd love to come back!

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio at this restaurant is not right. The dishes are clearly too expensive for the size and quality. Even the situation doesn't justify it. Lamb was ordered and it was well seasoned, just a little too fatty and too spicy. Unfortunately, the meat itself is very stringy and not a good piece, which is what you would expect for the price. The staff wasn't worth mentioning. It's more of a snack bar than a real restaurant.

Food may be good, but if you have to shop at Penny's and have to go to the toi, which happens sometimes as an older lady...if you ask there you will be told...Only for customers...Insolence...That's a makeshift one Situation for every person....should be allowed everywhere...

Very tasty food but it sometimes takes a long time for an employee to arrive.

Excellent food. An absolute pleasure. Service friendly and helpful. The restaurant is really authentic, clean and well run. If you want to experience real Afghan culture and food, you don't have to travel all the way to Kabul. Just thinking about it makes me hungry again!

Delicious food, good service, but a small menu of Afghan dishes.

Great food! Great service! Absolutely recommended cuisine and great atmosphere! 5/5

Super delicious food for a great price, the staff is super friendly and can give you great advice about Afghan food. Even for people who want something simple like burgers, there is a great selection and it is very tasty. A little tip for people who like dessert, the ice cream there is great and you get a large portion for a fair price. Gladly again at any time.

A huge thank you to the entire team! The service was excellent and warm. The food was just great! We will be back and a clear recommendation!

Great restaurant with super nice staff.

Ate the Afghan Burger and Sher jakh… it was super tasty and we were served very friendly.

When we entered the location we were warmly welcomed. The pleasant lighting and the attractive decoration with beautiful pictures immediately created an inviting atmosphere. Our grilled plate for 6 people was delicious and kept everyone full and happy. The Afghan ice cream (Sheer Yakh) was an absolute highlight and a must! Both the employees and the shop owner were extremely friendly. We would like to come again!

I can only recommend. Very tasty food and best Shirjakh in Frankfurt and the surrounding area!!!!! Very nice staff

We were here purely by chance and were pleasantly surprised. The operator was very nice. The food was very tasty and different. There are no alcoholic drinks, but that doesn't matter at all. Instead there was delicious homemade Ayran. At the end we were surprised with our own ice cream. Simply delicious. We will be back definitely.

Very tasty food! The lamb chops are the burner. Keep it up 👍

Difficult to rate, internet was open from 11 a.m. Sunday, so reservations were made, but this has since been changed after I pointed it out. It opened at 12, and waited at the door for an hour . Breakfast looked really tasty in the pictures, but you have to say when you make the reservation, it will be prepared separately, no information on the page, it's a shame, the staff is friendly and understood our anger. Unfortunately we left without eating or drinking anything. Maybe just update the page because there are very good reviews and I think you can eat well there too. Don't see it as a review, but as a note.

One of the tastiest restaurants in the area. But I have to honestly say that I read through the reviews here and didn't understand how negative people wrote. Instead of them supporting their Afghans, as usual, they only write bad things and I think that's a shame. An example to the Turks would be great, they stick by and support each other. Really sad... The service is super friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty. Of course the prices aren't very low, but it's clear that it's a restaurant and not a snack bar. Everyone should have their own experience and not immediately write negative things and tarnish their reputation. Had to get rid of that...

Danger! Absolute rip off! Give this store a wide berth! Prices like the noble Afghan/Persian, but the food and the entire restaurant experience are a complete disaster and a deception. But let's start from the beginning. We arrived and were the only guests. We ordered 4 dishes, prices for the chicken skewer plate and the koobideh plate were just under €20 each. These are prices that you pay in good central shops in the city center, but the restaurant is far outside in Finthen. The food came, and there were only 5 small pieces of chicken on the plate of chicken skewers, even though the menu said there were 2 skewers. When asked, the owner let us know that in Afghanistan it is standard for the skewers to be small (well, but in Afghanistan they probably don't cost €20). A very strange statement. Well, we asked for bread and chutney. The bread came, it was slightly warmed but at least 1 day old, it tasted stale and dry. The chutney consisted only of the watery residue that comes off if you leave it for longer. I asked the waiter to please bring me some fresh bread. He came and brought me new bread, but it only got worse. This time it wasn't just old, it was ice cold and hard. The plates were carelessly arranged, there was only half a grilled tomato and even the pepperoni was halved and divided among the plates. I have never experienced something like that. The Kabooli dish was small and the meat it contained was essentially just fat. The Mantu were at best okay, but here too they were below average. But now comes the kicker. I spoke to the restaurant owner and said that we were absolutely dissatisfied. The price-performance ratio is absolutely not right here. His reaction was unique. Absolute resistance and zero insight. No one had ever complained that I could think of sending the waiter back and forth several times. I should appreciate what I got because in other countries people don't have bread. I was now stunned. I told him that from his reaction I could tell that he was neither professional nor fit to run a restaurant or even just a diner. Others pay a lot of money for constructive criticism. I told him that usually the “customer is king,” to which he replied that only God is king with him. I was so horrified that I didn't even know where to start with him. The following statement was also unique: "You got the bread and chutney without being charged, why are you complaining?" I then explained to him that it doesn't matter whether something comes with or without payment in the restaurant, that there are standards and you can't offer products that are old and don't meet the minimum quality requirements. He then continued to say absurd things, but that would be too much to discuss at this point. Conclusion: The owner is beyond good and evil, he is not a professional restaurant operator in life. If the store stays there long-term, I'll eat a broom. My tip: avoid it and warn others about it.

**Mixed experience with potential, but not entirely convincing - four of us** Our visit to this modern restaurant was an ambivalent experience. From the outside, the entrance was slightly reminiscent of a snack bar, but inside an attractively designed ambience awaited us. Unfortunately we found that cleanliness was neglected. Cobwebs adorned the lamps and in some places it was dusty or even dirty. Nevertheless, the hard-working staff deserve recognition, especially for constantly trying to keep our table clean. The spacious parking lot, however, was a plus. For dinner we opted for the grill plate for six, accompanied by two doogh, a virgin mojito and water. While the Doogh was generous and tasty, the Mojito disappointed with an artificial taste. The grill plate was rich, but small enough for six people. It was noticeable that the side dishes were unusual, with a one-person portion of rice and chips for a six-person platter. We even had to order extra rice. The bread that was served was unfortunately hard and cold. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the dessert, Sheer Yakh, a delicious Afghan specialty in a generous portion. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that the restaurant offers a wide range of dishes ranging from Afghan cuisine to pizza, burgers and pasta. This variety could be both a plus and a hindrance, as it calls into question the restaurant's specialization. Overall, the restaurant definitely has room for improvement. The prices seemed high considering what was on offer, especially compared to other restaurants. We paid a whopping €180 for our meal, which didn't meet our expectations of value for money. It may be suitable for a quick stop, but we felt it lacked that certain something in terms of ambience and value for money for a proper restaurant.

Delicious food. Great and nice employees. Ambiance is very cozy

Moderately warm food, quite bland and not particularly warm.

We ate here at the weekend. Unfortunately the entire family has been sick since then, we suspect that “sick” staff prepared the food and/OR the meat had already expired. The waitress an 0815 number Sorry!!!! A ridiculous demeanor and very poor communication. Afterwards we realized that we were charged a lot more.

Great restaurant with super nice employees. Eater was very tasty and in sufficient quantity. Gladly again 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Best Afghani resturant i ever tried... Sheer yakh is so yummy... Wonderful service

I am very happy that we found this restaurant by chance. Everything there was 5/5.

I recommend this restaurant ,this is one of the best Afghan restaurant

Insanely good food and super nice staff. Can totally recommend it. We got our food to go for lunch and didn't have to wait 10 minutes. Can really only recommend it.

The most delicious Shiryakh (Afghan ice cream variation) in all of Europe is here. The food simply tastes amazing. Qabeli top and the smell is a dream. Kabab Kobida made from chicken mega. Service very attentive and quick. Let yourself be convinced, you won't regret it.

Gutes Essen. Nette Bedienung. Angenehmes Ambiente. Gutes Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis. Da gehe ich wieder hin !

Sehr schön wir sind immer willkommen

Ich war dort gestern mit meiner Familie das Essen ist so gut das nusret neidisch wurde weiter zu empfehlen sehr gut

Alles perfekt, wenn jedes Restaurant so wäre, wäre es die perfekte Welt😅
