Schandis in Frankfurt am Main

Good restaurant. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Good service. Beautiful table setting. The design of the room is cozy.

It was always a decent restaurant for Persian food, but since reopening, it's almost doubled its prices. So now I go to other equally good, but cheaper, Persian restaurants.

This Persian restaurant is a true insider tip! The elegant atmosphere immediately strikes you upon arrival – stylishly decorated yet with a pleasant lightness. Although the restaurant is located directly on the street, the outdoor terrace is surprisingly quiet and inviting – ideal for sitting outside and enjoying the ambiance in good weather. The service was exceptional: friendly, attentive, and always professional. A courtesy rarely experienced these days – courteous, but never intrusive. You feel welcome and appreciated from the very first minute. The food was a real highlight. Each dish was prepared with great care, wonderfully seasoned, and absolutely fresh. The flavors were perfectly matched – a culinary journey to Iran! The restaurant also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of cleanliness. Overall, it was a very special evening – characterized by outstanding food, a stylish ambiance, and unparalleled hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Great restaurant. We came in late (21.45 hrs), but everything was still possible. Wonderful food, nice presentation of plates, nice atmoshere at the terrass, including nice background music. And not to forgot the friendly staff. Thank you for the lovely dinner 🥂

We celebrated our civil wedding with 25 guests at Schandis last weekend, and it was simply perfect! Even beforehand, communication with the owner was very pleasant and uncomplicated. On the day itself, we received a warm welcome and excellent service. The entire team was incredibly friendly, attentive, and took great care of even the smallest detail. We chose a delicious three-course menu, which completely delighted all our guests. The lovingly prepared appetizer platter was a particular highlight – varied and delicious. The main course (especially the tender lamb) was also particularly praised by many of our guests – the meat was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. We are very grateful for this thoroughly successful day and can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant – whether for a private celebration or simply a special evening with good food and warm service. Many thanks to the entire team and especially to the owner, Masud Agha, who implemented our wishes flawlessly. We will definitely be back.

The staff was friendly at times, but a bit reserved at others. The food was okay. Overall, a solid restaurant, but with room for improvement.

A Persian restaurant in Frankfurt that delights with authentic flavors, a stylish ambiance, and warm hospitality. The dishes are aromatic, freshly prepared, and not only delicious but also beautifully presented – a feast for the eyes and palate. Vegetarian options are also impressive. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly owner, who is genuinely passionate about his work, as well as the attentive and always cheerful service staff, who make every visit a particularly pleasant experience. A place full of warmth and oriental charm – ideal for anyone who appreciates good food and a warm atmosphere!

Top service, very good quality, reasonable price-performance ratio. I'd be happy to come again.

Perfect restaurant. Perfect food and beautiful design en food presentation. The staff is very very friendly and professional.

Food very tasty 😋 and good quality, the service great and extremely attentive.

You shouldn't go there with a high hope. The grilled dishes taste good, and among the Persian restaurants in Frankfurt, Schandiz and its two other affiliated restaurants (Babam and Maman) serve the best, but also the most expensive, Persian food in town. However, the rice portions have become very small over time. It's very unusual for a Persian restaurant to serve so little rice. The owner requests that you reorder the rice (for €6). Given the prices charged, they should either be more generous and not serve children's portions, or not charge an extra €6. I had recommended Schandiz to my friends and praised it highly. Unfortunately, my seven guests and I were very surprised by the portion of rice served. It's a no-go to pay €35 for a meal and get a child's portion of rice. The staff is always friendly and polite and perhaps should be better trained in table setting if you describe your restaurant as upscale. 😊 کبابهای شاندیز و بابام و مامان که همه مطعلق به یک شخص هستند در فرانکفورت بهترینه ولی مقدار برنجی که .تو شاندیز سرو میشه واسه سیر کردن گنجشک کافیه نمیشه واسه یک سلطانی ۳۳ یورو ویا واسه ششلیک ۳۵ یورو پول گرفت و چهار قاشق برنج سرو کرد.

Very expensive, but nothing special compared to other Persian restaurants. Never again!

One of the best restaurants in Frankfurt

5 stars because I ate the best Persian food in Germany here. I've been to many good restaurants, but here every dish was truly outstanding. Of course, there were also a few weaknesses: The waiting time after ordering was almost an hour, which is quite long. The rice portion was rather small for a Persian dish. The prices were about 15-20% higher compared to other Persian restaurants. But ultimately the quality of the food is the most important thing - and it was excellent.

Super nice service, the food was great.

Food, service and the ambience, everything was great!! We have known the restaurant for 18 years and enjoy coming here every now and then to eat.

Gleich bei Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich begrüßt. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen. Der Tisch war liebevoll gedeckt - wie überhaupt das gesamte Ambiente sehr ruhig und geschmackvoll ist. Der Service war jederzeit sehr dezent und extrem aufmerksam. Wir hatten zu viert das Menu, das aus einer gemischten Vorspeisenplatte, einer Grillplatte (Lamm, Hühnchen, Gemüse) sowie einer gemischten Reisplatte und einem Schmorgericht als Hauptgang und einer Platte mit Dessertvariationen Bestand. Schon allein die Präsentation der einzelnen Gänge war toll - das Auge isst mit! Und dieser optische Eindruck wurde bei jedem Gang geschmacklich mehr als übertroffen. Eine tolle Aromatik sowie eine hervorragende Qualität der Zutaten! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt absolut! Ein Abend wie er nicht besser hätte sein können!

Enjoyment in a great atmosphere Stylish and cozy – you immediately feel comfortable. The food is absolutely original and perfectly showcases the flavors of Iran, prepared with great attention to detail. Particularly noteworthy is the attentive and warm service. Everything is just right here – we will definitely be back!

Nice restaurant but the portions are really small!! I was still hungry afterwards

“My husband and I visit to Schandis Persische Spezialitäten in Frankfurt was nothing short of extraordinary. Tucked away in the charming Nordend district, this gem transported me straight to the heart of Persia with its warm, elegant ambiance and impeccable hospitality. The moment we stepped in, we were greeted by the soft glow of chandeliers and the subtle aroma of saffron and fresh herbs—a promise of the culinary delight. Every bite was a testament to the care and authenticity poured into the food here. The staff were incredibly attentive, offering recommendations with genuine enthusiasm and ensuring our glasses of fragrant Persian tea never ran dry. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between cozy and refined, with tasteful decor that felt like a nod to Persian tradition without being overdone. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over a meal, savoring both the food and the experience. Schandis isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a journey. Whether you’re a Persian cuisine aficionado or a first-timer like me, this spot is an absolute must-visit in Frankfurt. I’m already dreaming of my next meal here!” I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

Food very tasty and good quality, service great and extremely attentive.

If the term "Edel Italianer" exists elsewhere, "Edel Persian" would be appropriate here. Furnishings, staff, service, authentic Persian cuisine and a solid selection in the wine list are what make this happen. Absolute recommendation!

High quality of food. Very good service, decanting the wine and refilling it without being asked. Cloth napkins, upscale atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Top in all respects. Unfortunately the parking situation is very difficult. But the restaurant can't do anything about it.

We were there and the staff were very nice and the service was good. The food was very, very tasty, everything was fresh and the best restaurant in Frankfurt, even Germany 🇩🇪 and the prices were good 👍🏻 we were very satisfied Thank you very much from everyone and especially the owner and boss thank you for being there for us ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

This is the first time in my life that I am giving a 5 star to a Persian restaurant. I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant and will surely visit it again.

A truly lovely restaurant with delicious food, very efficient, attentive, yet unobtrusive service, and excellent value for money. I take all my visitors there, and EVERYONE is thrilled. I'm SO happy for you, Masud, and I think what you've achieved is absolutely fantastic!

Such delicious Persian food😊 and prepared with great attention to detail. An aromatic festival

The food was super tasty but the portions in this restaurant are really small! When you compare it with other Persian restaurants in Frankfurt, quality and price are same but portions are super small! The restaurant is kinda small and cozy with friendly staff.

For us, the Shandiz restaurant is the best Persian restaurant in Frankfurt. As soon as you enter, you are impressed by the elegant and stylish furnishings, which create a welcoming atmosphere. You immediately feel at home here. The food is simply excellent, every dish is freshly prepared and served with great attention to detail. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the quality of the ingredients is noticeably first-class. A real taste experience every time! The service also deserves high praise. The host and his team are extremely attentive, polite and accommodating. You will be warmly welcomed and well looked after. If you want to enjoy authentic, excellent Persian cuisine in an elegant ambience, you should definitely stop by here. We always enjoy coming back ❤️

Das Restaurant ist einfach TOLL, tolle Atmosphäre, super schön eingerichtet, Tische toll eingedeckt....... SUPER FEINES Essen (wir haben das 3-Gang Menü à 55,-- gegessen - verschiedene Vorspeisen, verschiedene Hauptgerichte (sehr flexible, auch Vegetarisch möglich) und danach ein Dessertauswahl)..... und dazu noch ein toller, kompetenter Service .... wo findet man das noch ?? War alles TOLL

We came from Cologne and ate Persian for the first time, it was worth it from start to finish. Very nice advice and explanations of the dishes, very familiar and warm atmosphere!

After a long time I visited this restaurant again. As a Persian who has visited many Persian restaurants in Europe and even in Iran, I can only say that this restaurant is simply the best in all respects! Both the quality of the food and the design were top! Service staff very friendly and attentive! Perfect. The prices are of course around 3 to 4 euros more expensive for food, which was ok for me if there was nothing to complain about!

For me, Schandis is by far the best restaurant in Frankfurt! I've tried many other places, but I always come to the conclusion that this one is simply unbeatable. I've been eating out regularly at least once a month for years and it's never been disappointing. The quality of the food is consistently excellent - always delicious, no matter when. The service is always top: everyone is extremely friendly and accommodating. The ambience is perfect for enjoying a relaxing evening. Be it starters, main courses, side dishes or desserts – everything is simply delicious. You can tell that the work here is done with a lot of love and dedication. An all-round great experience that I always enjoy!

An absolute experience! Great food - great service! We were absolutely happy!

Extremely delicious cuisine and service that is absolutely impressive... What a great evening it was once again. Thanks to the team... Update 02/2025: Finally managed to get it back... same quality as back then. And a host who gave us a lively insight into his cuisine... it was simply a great evening... would be happy to come back at any time!!!!

Un très restaurant perse! Un bon accueil avec une flûte de proseco du fait d’un léger retard des clients précédents ! Nous avons pris le menu à 55€ et ce fut un très bon voyage culinaire! Une découverte sur 2 mezzes en entrée , choix de viandes généreux avec du poulet très fondant et des desserts très frais. Restaurant un peu cher mais qualitatif. Réservation conseillée.

Everything was great, I can only recommend it.

When it comes to Persian cuisine at the highest level, the Schandiz restaurant sets new standards. From the first bite you can tell how much love and detail is put into preparing each dish - the taste is simply incredible! The dishes not only correspond 100% to the original recipe, but even exceed it in their perfection. The ambience is equally impressive. The interior is stylish and elegant, and the design elements change to match festivals and seasons. This attention to detail creates an atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more special. But what really makes Schandiz unique is the hospitality. Here you are treated like a king - with a level of respect and attention that you rarely experience anywhere else. You not only feel welcome, but you feel very special. The price-performance is simply unbeatable. The prices are on par with other Persian restaurants, but the quality is in a completely different league. Every bite is a testament to the outstanding freshness and taste of the ingredients. By far the best Persian restaurant I have ever visited! It's just a shame that I don't live in Frankfurt - otherwise I would be a regular. If you want to experience real Persian cuisine in perfection, you definitely shouldn't miss Schandiz!

The food was delicious and beautifully decorated, the atmosphere was stylish and beautiful.🤌🏻

Something completely different. Great service, everyone very attentive. Portions could be larger but quality is top. The

I've been visiting the Schandis for 20 years now and was there again after a long break - and I'm thrilled! The extensively renovated interior now appears much more elegant and impressively underlines the claim to be one of the best Persian restaurants in the Rhine-Main area. The cuisine and service are as always at the highest level: authentic, excellently prepared dishes and attentive, warm service. Be sure to reserve in good time - the restaurant was filled to capacity. An absolute recommendation for anyone who appreciates Persian hospitality and cuisine.

Ich kenne das Schandis seit 20 Jahren und war nach längerer Pause wieder dort. Die aufwendige Renovierung hat dem Restaurant ein stilvolles Ambiente verliehen, das perfekt zu den authentischen persischen Gerichten passt. Küche und Service sind wie immer hervorragend – eine Reservierung ist unbedingt zu empfehlen, da das Lokal sehr gut besucht ist. Für mich bleibt das Schandis eine Top-Adresse für persische Küche im Rhein-Main-Gebiet.

Great selection of dishes, with excellent descriptions. Highly professionally presented, prepared and served in a modern, chic and very well-kept atmosphere. Highly professional and best service. Thanks! We were all thrilled, in every way! 🙏🙏

Had an amazing experience at Schandis! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was packed with flavor and looked incredible. The staff were super friendly and made sure we felt taken care of. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. Truly an unforgettable experience. Would recommend to anybody who would like to try Persian cuisine and enjoy in a super friendly environment.

A great experience of Iranian culture and cuisine. Excellent quality of service and extremely friendly staff. Excellent quality starters and drinks. Delicious tahdig and homemade doogh were a highlight. The starters and main courses were served with attractive presentation and very good quality. It may not have been the best Koobideh kebab in Germany, but overall it was the best experience in an Iranian restaurant in Germany for me. If we come back to Frankfurt, we will definitely return to Restaurant Schandis.

Everything was stylish, tasted delicious, and we felt very comfortable.

We were there last week and ordered several dishes and appetizers. Everything was very tasty 😋 the service was very attentive and friendly. I felt really comfortable and will come back.

We had a great evening, the 3-course menu is highly recommended, all the fine flavors, great quality, very nicely presented. The service was very attentive and courteous. We'd love to come back!!!!

Wow , it was perfect 😍 The food was really delicious and atmosphere was really pleasant. One of my colleagues suggested this restaurant and i am happy that i trusted him. For sure i recommend this restaurant.

Food is divine and service is attentive and friendly. I always dine there when I am in Frankfurt!

Friendly staff, fast service, good selection of food and tasty, great atmosphere

Very nice service. Enjoy your meal

Update 29.10.24: Another brilliant, tasty and empathic evening spent here . Nothing to add to the review below. Thank you , we will definitiv return! 🐺 When you enter this restaurant, you believe you are in a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️venue. White tablecloth and napkins, candles, silverware and a lot of space between the tables. When you experience the competent, discreet, fast and super friendly guest-orientated service, you start to realise, you are in a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️restaurant. After you enjoyed the delicous offerings, that make your tastebudds dance tango and samba at the same time and experienced the fine herbs and spices of the persian cuisine, you know, this is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Of course, the prices are a bit upscale, but definitely worth every penny! If you are looking for a special dinner in elegant atmosphere with extraordanary cuisine, this is the place to go!

Persische Küche auf höchstem Niveau! Das Essen war nicht nur geschmacklich ein Genuss, sondern auch auch eine Freude fürs Auge. Auch das Ambiente könnte schöner nicht sein! Chic aber dezent. Die Kellnerin unheimlich freundlich und aufmerksam! Preis-Leistung einfach unschlagbar!

The Schandis is the best Persian restaurant I know. If I want to go out for a fancy and delicious meal with someone, Schandis is definitely my first choice. You can always rely on the ambience, service and food. Even when reserving a table, the employees try very hard to fulfill the customer's wishes. The food, especially the meat, is of very good quality. The spices are perfectly balanced so that the food is simply delicious. The service is attentive and what I particularly like is how quietly and carefully they work. The ambience was brought out of the rather small restaurant as best as possible with attention to detail. It's great that there is such a stylish and delicious restaurant in Frankfurt!

The rice tasted like oil and the food was very little at the price of thirty five euros, we heard the voice of one of the waiters saying why they don't go.

Food is amazing, the waiters are kind, the atmosphere is cosy despite the restaurant being on the fancy side.

After far too long we had another lovely evening at Schandis. The food was very well prepared and beautifully presented. We look forward to the next visit.

A very elegant and delicious Iranian restaurant. The staff are helpful and kind

Quite good in a consistent way! An oasis 0f calm and quality right in the middle of busy city!

I was in this restaurant for the first and last time, everything was like in a prison, the service was very cold, the worst thing was the price of the food which was very very high and very different from the photos, I do I'm very sorry that I left...

Emphasizing the positive experience We had an unforgettable wedding celebration for my brother at your restaurant. The service and staff were first class. Thank you for everything!:)

Nice atmosphere and really good food

Delicious food in sufficient portions, very nice and respectful staff who are happy to accommodate requests. This restaurant pays a lot of attention to aesthetics. The food is served beautifully and everything is very clean, tidy and hygienic. A very pleasant visit! The best Persian restaurant in Frankfurt.

Honestly, it is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. Honestly, the restaurant is clean, ambiance, services, staff, taste and quality. Everything in this restaurant is beautiful. Even the female employees are friendly and welcome you with a smile and a warm welcome. All thanks to all the employees in the restaurant.

our favorite destination for Iranian food. Yes, we drive 130 km.

Very tasty food. Fast friendly service.

I had the pleasure of visiting Shandi's Persian Food and it was an outstanding experience. This restaurant definitely deserves five stars! Eat: The food was simply fantastic. Every bite was a delight. The dishes were perfectly seasoned and prepared, and the flavors were rich and authentic. I found the variety and quality of the food particularly impressive. Every dish I tried was a culinary highlight. Service: The service at Schandis was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They made sure we didn't lack anything. The service was quick and efficient without being intrusive

We came here with the family to have lunch. Both female waitress were very professional and friendly. The food had great presentation and taste. Overall one of our favorite Iranian restaurants in Frankfurt. Happy to come back!

I made a reservation for dinner with my family and we had to leave because the waitress simply ignored our requests and never served us! She gave the menus and left. She also waited on every table around us except ours. my husband called her several times but he was ignored. and one of them doesn't speak English, in 2024 this is unacceptable. I live in Dubai and have never experienced so much embarrassment. I've been traveling in Germany for 1 month and this was the worst restaurant!

Super nice there and really great food. The service is also perfect. We'll definitely eat there again

Very elegant restaurant, beautifully presented food and good, friendly service. Price was also absolutely fair. Gladly again!

During our visit to Frankfurt all the way from Austin, Texas, my uncle treated us to an unforgettable dining experience at Schandis Persian Restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, we were whisked away on a culinary journey through the vibrant flavors of Iran. The variety of appetizers delighted our taste buds, and each authentic Persian dish was a masterpiece of flavor and tradition. The impeccable service ensured we felt like honored guests, and the beautiful ambiance made the evening truly magical. If you're in Frankfurt and craving an extraordinary dining experience, let Schandis be your destination.

Delicious food, great service. We really enjoyed our visit here. Totally recommended.

Everything perfect . can only recommend

Truly an incredible experience. Excellent dishes, special and really delicious. Starry restaurant service. The price is absolutely worth the quality of the dishes and the service. Marvelous!

We were there a few days ago, the food wasn't bad and the quality didn't match the price. Service was stressful and our table was very uncomfortable and narrow. Suggestion: Please pay more attention to the toilet area. Toilet area narrow, small and often occupied. Thank you!

Best Persian restaurant in Hesse. Very tasty😋

👏🏼Absolutely divine experience , food ART, quality, cleanliness , top staff friendliness, politeness and service. 👌🏽Enjoy the experience with small or big groups and be also kind and polite to the staff 🤩

Were in the renovated and newly designed restaurant for the first time today. It's very classy and chic! But the team is also very friendly, very attentive, fast and competent. The food and especially the starters are very good, as is the wine. The prices have risen significantly compared to before! But also the quality and the ambience. With a bit of luck you can find a parking space. Free on weekends.

We went to this restaurant last night and were disappointed. Some tables for two people are small and uncomfortable. I ask myself why ? And service was overwhelmed and unfocused last night. Overall, I find the prices excessively high and a lot of show and superficiality, which perhaps justifies the high prices. . In any case, we added our experience last night and would like to pass it on.

Very nice and very high quality food. You can taste the love and quality. I always enjoy coming here to eat

Best ever Persian restaurant! Great food, service, courtesy, very dignified ambience.

I can't recommend it. Another comment mentioned something about “racial profiling”. That's how we felt here too. We had reserved a table for 9:30 p.m., but were then asked to go to the tables outside. It should be obvious that at this time of year it should be clear that you have only reserved one table for inside. There were even free tables inside. We were the only ones outside, it wasn't exactly warm, the door inside was closed and it completely felt as if we had been deliberately excluded. We were then ignored for 10 minutes and not served. Then we just left. I have never experienced a situation like this in my life. I can absolutely recommend the restaurant to no one.

A wonderful persian food experience, food a little similar to Indian food, a wonderful experience.

One of the best Iranian restaurants in Frankfurt The place, service and food are excellent. The best Persian restaurant in Frankfurt. The food is very delicious, and the service is excellent.

Can’t say enough good things about this place👌👌👌Highly recommend. Every time I fly from London to Frankfurt, I just want to give myself a nice surprise and I'm really happy with Schandis Restaurant. Absolutely fantastic service, very attentive and polite. The food is always perfect 👌 you can see and feel that the whole thing is made with heart and soul. And of course also a very special THANK YOU to Donya and Haniyeh🙏 You are simply the best👌

I was racially profiled. White foreigners aren't welcome here. I recommend Kish Persian restaurant in Bockenheim

Very big recommendation. Service outstanding, beautiful decor and very tasty food.

Here you can eat very good Persian food in a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately it is very loud.

An exceptional restaurant. You are in very good hands here, very friendly staff and delicious food, it is worth a visit.

The best Persian food I have tasted in Frankfurt. Classy place with great service and plenty of choices. Highly recommend.

Absolutely the best Iranian restaurant. Recommend 100%

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food and very, very friendly staff. Gladly again 😊

Delicious food, good service. Prices are a bit high

But also correspondingly more expensive ;) Number 1

Upscale ambience, very tasty food and nice staff. Highly recommended!

The food was inedible! Djuje raw and not grilled. Tomatoes raw and not grilled! The rice not steamed! No butter, just cheap oil! No onion! Very expensive for the very poor quantity! The food was served in huge plates with very little content! They're pretending to be a star restaurant now! Never again!
