Sepideh Restaurant in Hamburg

Sepideh is truly a phenomenon in itself. The food definitely tastes delicious – especially because it is so greasy, which is obviously addictive. But unfortunately that has nothing to do with quality. Several people including me often get stomach ache after eating which is definitely not a good sign. The ambience is more reminiscent of cheap street food from Thailand, which might have a certain charm, but here it seems rather bland. I have no hate on the food at Sepideh, but it is clearly overhyped. Many people seem to love it anyway, and when I hear, “Are we going to Sepideh?” I often reply, “It’ll give you a stomach ache and it’s greasy.” The standard answer: “Yes, but it’s tasty!” The staff are a big plus: they are super friendly, which makes your stay much more pleasant and ensures that you feel in good hands. My conclusion: Yes, the taste of the food is okay if you like greasy fast food, but it is neither healthy nor digestible. The regular customers are probably already used to it. But for me it's more of a one-time visit than a regular option.

This restaurant is one of the best places you can enjoy Iranian cuisine, delicious and Halal. There is no parking but one can find park places around there.

You have to try Persian cuisine 👌Super delicious⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good traditional Persian food, i only recommend them to use a bit less salt and oil.

We were there the evening before New Year's Eve and ordered Gheymeh Bademjan, Tschelo Kebab and Borani. The Gheymeh Bademjan was mediocre and only had a tiny piece of eggplant, which was not appropriate at all! The chelo kebab was good, although the quality was worse this time compared to two years ago when we were there. The Borani was very little in relation to the price. Overall it could have been much better!

I've been going to Sepidah for years and I have to say it tastes incredibly delicious! I've been to a few other places for Persian food and haven't found anything comparable. I can really recommend this restaurant to everyone! Price performance is simply top!

"I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for several years. Over the last three years, the quality of the food has declined significantly and they have forgotten my order four times. Currently, the service and food are similar to that of an average second-class restaurant." --- "I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for several years. However, over the past three years, the food quality has significantly declined, and they have forgotten my order four times. Currently, both the service and food resemble that of a mediocre second-tier restaurant."- ( On 1/1/2025 I got food again, again the bag was small, they didn't even have a big plastic bag to carry the food, and they gave me this fruit box that was dirty could, they packed the food so that my clothes got dirty.I don't suggest anything.

Super delicious authentic cuisine. Good price/performance ratio

We felt sick, the food was obviously old, and the service was really bad - especially compared to other Persian restaurants in Hamburg. Overall it was a very disappointing experience.

Super delicious food and very respectful staff

The best Persian cuisine ❤️❤️❤️

We ordered both grill but also "curry" dishes. I would definitely recommend their grill over curry dishes. Both parts are super good, but their grill dishes are so much better that they overshadow everything else.

Really good service and very tasty food. It only took 10 minutes for our food for three people to arrive. Definitely very great team and very great food)!

I may not be exaggerating at all when I say that this Persian restaurant is the best in Hamburg in terms of quality, cleanliness, value and luxurious atmosphere!

We really enjoy eating there and the food is very tasty and good. Authentic Iranian cuisine although owners are from Afghanistan, but lived in Iran, so they can cook the Persian dishes very tasty & authentic. Top! Unfortunately, like everywhere else these days, the dishes are becoming a little less and unfortunately the prices are rising, but the price-performance ratio is still in the good & possible range. I hope it doesn't change drastically Everything to recommend & ambience & staff almost always friendly & attentive. The boss is almost always on site and there if there are any problems. If you don't like something, always speak up and a solution will be found. It's great that it's safe and no alcohol is sold and that no dogs are allowed in is also great!

Great load Delicious food Nice staff ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great service Thank you for the great evening

Very very bad service It takes an hour for someone to come because of the order.

No respect for customers, no one should wait next to the door to have food, I don't beg your food but I pay for that, please learn how to respect then serve as a worker or waiter (waitress)

Das Essen war sehr gut und war warm und Personal war sehr freundlich ich werde immer da essen und das Essen ist auch nicht teuer man kann da Afghanische und persische Küche genießen

Top service, super tasty... A must for every visit to Hamburg!

Delicious ! And a courteous staff and the boss is a very good man

The food was really tasty. Very pleasant staff and always well attended. ♥️♥️

I think it's the best Iranian cuisine from all over Germany Thank you

The food was perfect!! We went there with a group of Germans and it was the first time for some of them to try Iranian food and they were completely dazzled. The food was really great! And I'm glad you made us proud. I was worried that our German friends wouldn't like the food; But it was great!

Nice employees and perfect service

Everything was great. And very friendly staff

The Sepideh restaurant is rightly a popular address in Wandsbek - and I'm a big fan too! The food always impresses with its taste and quality. Although I haven't tried every dish yet, the dishes I ordered were all excellent. The minced lamb skewers and the grilled chicken marinated in saffron are particularly recommended. The rice is so delicious that it would be worth a visit alone! The ambience may not be luxurious, but you feel completely comfortable here. The service is fast, friendly and attentive - there are no long waiting times, and pre-orders also work smoothly. The portions are generous and you feel like you're really getting something for your money. A big compliment also goes to the boss and the entire team: their hospitality is remarkable and you can feel that every guest is valued here. If you are looking for authentic food, great service and fair value for money, you should definitely try Sepideh.

I was there for the first time yesterday with my girlfriend and everything was great.Thank you

First time going to a Persian restaurant. Ordered Kebab with white bread(I was the only one ordering bread) instead of rice. Bread was hard to cut due knife. But meat was delicious, also eaten some rice which was pretty good. It was very crowded and we had to wait some time before we had a table, service is a thing they could work on.

It was great and with a very polite and friendly waiter and we always go there to eat😋

That was really tasty! By far the best Persian restaurant in Hamburg! Waiters also super friendly. We definitely felt very comfortable. Keep it up!

Today I ordered from this restaurant again, otherwise everything is always great except that the menu on the internet shows kebabs with bread and kebabs. It would make sense to write rice behind it and maybe not place it directly under each other, because I made a typo today. The restaurant is unreasonable about their mistake and offers to pick up the rice for me, but that doesn't work. Because my husband is traveling in our car, I'm sitting here with three children and this is the second order that went wrong. One of them was missing my barberries belong to my chicken. They actually neglected to let me know that they were out and just packed my food like that. The bad surprise then came at home pregnant without bars every woman who is pregnant knows what not being able to pursue her desires. It is depressing and a disgrace to continue listening to their argument, which is slightly arrogant. I am the customer and I have probably spent €2000-3000 in this restaurant in a year. The food tastes good but the service is crappy. An apology rather than blame would be more appropriate. Instead I have to deal with it and my children are hungry because there is no rice and they don't want bread. They don't want disgusting behavior ever again and I recommend everyone else to eat somewhere else. If service is important to you, the photos are orders that I made in about three weeks and that doesn't add up for me over the year for the store.

I have been to many Persian restaurants in different cities in Germany but this restaurant is undoubtedly my one and only choice eversince I visited it, the best Persian food, amazing service and very friendly staff. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, authentic Persian food.

The Kubideh Kebab is not authentic, real Kubideh: the meat appears to be stretched with soy or other fillers. In addition, it is dry, salty, and the characteristic scent and taste are completely missing. The thin, machine-made skewer is further disappointing. Absolutely not recommended.

It might not look fancy, the food might not be presented in a luxurious way, and the atmosphere might not be the best you expect, but the food you are served with has a home-like quality to it that you can’t find anywhere else in Hamburg. It reminds me of what my momma was cooking for me when I was little, in cold snowy days when I was sick and could use some great food. Staff are welcoming and there is enough space for many people. We have been going here for several years and it has always been a good experience.

Not enough rice was served. Although the food price was increased :)

Recently ate at Sepideh in Hamburg. Delicious food, authentic flavors and incredibly friendly staff. You feel welcome and well looked after. Highly recommended

Poor quality and higher prices than before.

Very unfriendly employees. Would never eat there again. I was not recommended.

I was there at lunchtime today and the employees were very unfriendly

Simply great! The staff are very friendly and the food tasted very tasty. I've never tried Iranian food before, but for the first time, it was a really great experience. I would recommend it to anyone!!

The food was solid and reasonably priced, although the drink selection was somewhat limited. The service was friendly, but communication was difficult because our waiter only spoke limited German and we didn't understand Persian. However, what ruined the entire evening was the unbelievable noise in the restaurant. It was so deafening that it was difficult to have a conversation at your own table - let alone enjoy the food. Other guests literally screamed, the laughter was bloodcurdling and permeated the entire room. The situation escalated so much that a table near us finally gave up and moved away to escape the noise. Our polite request for a little more consideration was completely ignored and the waiter merely responded with a smile but didn't seem to understand anything. A relaxed meal was impossible here - definitely the last visit for us.

In contrast to the Persian competition in Hamburg, it was really just okay. The price of everything here has recently increased, but the service is pretty mediocre. The last time the owner even let a guest sit in front of the toilet next to cardboard packages. When I offered my place because we wanted to go anyway, he rudely refused. The front door is often not closed, which made it really cold and the kebab is extremely stretched with onions, probably to save on meat. The taste of the chicken is okay, but some of it is a bit pink on the inside. all in all pretty average.

Solid Persian food at a good price

The price is reasonable, the quality is very good but not the best

Very good food and nice service.

The food is fine , but to be more precise there is still way to go to be the best 👌.. but thanks for everything sepideh 😊

very delicious kabab. We ordered Soltani, Shishlik , kashke bademjan. Kashke bademjan did not have kashk!, or maybe so little as nothing! so it didn’t good but kababs were very delicious, good cooked rice and also Nice staff. Totally it is a place I come surely back.

The food was really delicious and we really enjoyed it. The preparation was excellent and the ingredients were fresh and aromatic. Unfortunately, the service did not quite meet our expectations. It would have been nice if the staff had been a little friendlier and more attentive. Nevertheless, we would like to highlight the positive aspects and thank the chefs for the delicious food.

Authentic Persian food, perfect rice, excellent service.

The food was really delicious, thank you very much! Unfortunately, I noticed that one of the employees didn't seem particularly friendly. It seemed like she wasn't very familiar with all the procedures yet. Maybe you could give her some more time to get used to it? All in all, it was a pleasant visit.

Service below average, food quality has also deteriorated. Audience of a more rural nature

The food used to taste better. They seem to have changed chefs. The positions have definitely become smaller and tasteless. The rice didn't taste good at all and the grilled specialties were ok. The waitress waited for us to finish and leave so she could seat the next customers. You had the impression of sitting on a conveyor belt. It's also very loud and the seating is very tight, so you unintentionally overhear the conversations of the neighboring tables.

Very good food and nice staff. The lamb is very tender. Very well attended, it was full. Best to reserve. But make up your own mind.

This restaurant Astaf very slow Very bad service Don’t go in this restaurant

Nice staff. Starters to bridge the waiting time. Mega delicious food, as if you were on vacation. In summer you can also sit outside.

A very pleasant restaurant that offers very pleasant delicacies of Persian cuisine. Prices are absolutely acceptable, you have to look twice because the prices seem incredibly cheaper than you are used to. And you can see that it's cheap, the store is full, the food is fresh and tasty, and the service is great. From the starter to the main course to the dessert, everything was great. Drinks too. In any case, everything was fresh. The service was very friendly and courteous with a smile. The ambience is very pleasant in a good corner of a lively part of the city.

Rice (baghali polo) was rotten! Already smelled and taste was disgusting! That doesn't work at all!! As soon as it was served you could smell the bad smell, impossible! 80 euros of money wasted, what a shame! Even though the boss was there in person today! That shows no control! I don't want to know what it looks like in the back of the kitchen! A case for the public order office!!!

The best Iranian restaurant in Hamburg. We ordered Sepideh's special Mahiche. An amazing blend of tastes - and childhood memories :)

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Persian restaurant and it was an absolute delight! The traditional dishes like Chelokabab Kubide are simply delicious. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy real Persian food!

The portions of the meals were very large and they tasted good, the prices were reasonable, the waiters were very polite and always asked if we wanted anything.

Very nice service and delicious food at moderate prices. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you.

SEPIDEH Spezial-Kabab and Tschelo Kabab Kubideh was really good. They serve tea after lunch.

The staff are very friendly and nice, but I didn't like Kabab Kubideh.

Best Persian in Hamburg, delicious - fast and friendly service

I give this five star for Diar. He is the best garson ever. Thank you for your service ❤️🙏🏼

The food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly.

Best Persian food! always top quality and large portions

Excellent food quality and excellent service, in terms of hygiene, it is recommended

Un desastre y un conflicto final con el precio inexplicable en cualquier país y en cualquier restaurante .Nos traen una carta en alemán , la pedimos en inglés , nos la traen y ordenamos los platos con esa carta en inglés y con los precios que venían en ESA CARTA. Traen al cabo de un buen rato uno de los platos equivocados argumentando que los números están cambiados en la carta alemana. Corrigen y traen finalmente el plato que se habían pedido más de media hora antes. Pero la sorpresa final, ademas de no traernos el postre que se había pedido 1 hora antes “porque la cocina ya está cerrada, nos traen la cuenta con los precios de la carta alemana que, al parecer están más actualizados que la inglesa. Un engaño y un robo que no tiene justificación y que acabó estropeando un bonito día disfrutado en esta bella ciudad. Que a nadie se le ocurra ir a este restaurante sin esperar cualquier sorpresa desagradable. Después de un buen rato de discusión absurda nos cobran de mala gana el precio de la,carta inglesa que es por el que nos regimos desde el inicio.

The food was to die for. The starters were delicious and very refreshing with mint. The lamb was incredibly tasty and I love the yogurt with wild garlic.

Hello, have a nice day, we went to the restaurant today, the service was bad, after an hour they didn't bring us food, and we got up and I counted the table, the drinks that weren't drunk, we won't Go to this restaurant again, they don't know how to be polite and serve.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Delicious food. Very large portions. Nice service.

One of the best Iranian foods in Hamburg. Foods are tasty & delicious. I strongly recommend it with reasonable prices .

Delicious food and very friendly and attentive service. It's definitely worth a visit again and again!

It was very busy and very hectic. My dish tasted wonderful, but unfortunately my companion didn't like it so much.

Very good food, service very polite and friendly, can only be recommended

Very good food and nice staff. I can highly recommend it.

Hello, I always used to go to Sepideh restaurant. But unfortunately, I don't know why the quality of the food has decreased drastically. I ordered a pounded kebab. It has a hard white texture inside. Eating a vegetable that is eaten first is a shriveled and completely spoiled vegetable. I removed the shriveled ones so you can see later. The rice is made from Indian bimze rice that is not completely soft. Unfortunately, you don't have any feeling that this food was prepared with patience and interest. They just want to count the money quickly. They try to seat the Germans as much as possible at the tables by the window, and they always say that there is a reservation, while they never reserve a table when you call. It's really unfortunate. I told all my friends that we should look for another restaurant and we won't leave again. When a restaurant disrespects the customer's conscience like this after being famous, there is nothing left to say. Super restaurants are always improving their services, but restaurants like Sepideh are limited to this.

Best Persian in Cologne! Excellent food, very traditional. Absolute recommendation

The food is tasty but a bit salty

The side salad was not good but the Kabab was delicious. The rice was not good at all. The atmosphere was not so pleasant. I wouldn’t recommend.

Everything was at its best, only the atmosphere was very loud and restless. What is missing is light music so that people can calm us down and we can enjoy the time when it would be quiet there.

The food here is terrific! The best Persian restaurant in Hamburg, highly recommended. The prices have gone up a little but it's worth it for the food. The ambience isn't bad either, often a bit crowded but still nice. Top restaurant!

The food was very inexpensive and extremely tasty.

During my visit to hamburg, i decided to try this restaurant out and i did not regret it. Very delicious food. With a nice seating area. Everything we ordered was up to expectations. Staff were extremely friendly. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant when in hamburg. Nice dining experience.

I can only say that it is not the same as before

The food is very good and the price is not too expensive. I'd love to come back.

Most delicious Persian food in Hamburg. Other than having to wait sometimes for a table, everything is usually very smooth!

The food, atmosphere and service at Sepideh Restaurant are all very good. The dishes are very tasty. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

I ordered the Shishlik, Chenje, Juje, and Special Mahiche at Sepideh, and I must say, it’s the best Iranian restaurant in Germany. If you’re ever in Hamburg, make sure to dine there—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

It was our second visit. The first time, the staff were so unfriendly, the food was raw. And I would give 2 stars. However this time the staff were helpful and nice and surprisingly the food was soooo good. 😊

Excellent staff, very fresh and tasty food, reasonable price. Pleasant environment. Customer-oriented service. I have been to many Iranian restaurants in Germany, but my experience at Sepideh Restaurant was excellent. Goodbye👋🏻

This one star is already too much. We were there for the second time and each time we missed a warm welcome, friendliness and quality. Very crowded but unfortunately no quality. To waiters, very arrogant and unfriendly just like the owner. He gives everyone a smile but inside he says, "Come in, eat your food, give us the money and run away." The worst thing is that the food is simply thrown on the table so that they can run to the next table and don't ask anymore. Because of the large number of guests, the lady at the table came and wanted us to pay and clear the table for the standing guests. You couldn't pay by card, I don't know why, but luckily my husband still had cash and we weren't given a receipt. Very strange. We feel like they don't want us, just the money in our pockets. I won't put up with it and will never go to this place again. Not recommended at all.

After a short phase of weakness, he picked himself up again and serves the best Persian food in Hamburg with the usual quality. My recommendation: The “Schischlik” (grilled lamb chops)!

I like eating here for the following reasons: The kebab is simply delicious. Indescribably tender, spicy and very delicate. The rice with butter is a good addition. Beforehand there is an aperitif with large onions, herbs and this thin bread. The staff is always friendly. I noticed that I often arrived unannounced with several people and was ALWAYS greeted warmly and assigned a table. The prices are totally ok...and there are many other dishes that you can order. I personally also like this Iranian-Persian flair and the staff also passed on these characteristics and the beauty of Persian culture. By the way, the toilets are in a clean condition....also a good detail....You can also sit outside....there are several tables for outside....great idea from the operator....It's mine But it still only gets 4 points because there are some details that I don't like. First of all, the store does not have its own parking spaces. Yes, you have to look for a long time when you drive up in your carriage. And unfortunately it is always loud there. By that I mean, unfortunately, many, many children and adults are a little loud... But that's also because there are a lot of guests... All the tables are well attended almost every day... Personally, I would like it if it were If there was some Persian music in the restaurant in the background it would have been a nice detail....In any case, I recommend the shop and would happily go there again....Lastly, a note about the fact that you can also take your food away... So order food and pick it up.....There is something else that I noticed....NO ALCOHOL....There is no alcohol...I don't know if it was a coincidence every time I visited, but I looked up never ALCOHOL on the tables...I personally think that's good...but it might be helpful for others who want to drink... Lastly, I would like to praise the owner of the store. The shop is always clean... well maintained... nothing broken... good furniture... and also a lot of staff who are all really friendly despite the stress you have with service...

Portions are decent, taste is fine, staff are friendly (not all of them)

Best value in Hamburg for Persian food

Very nice and attentive service and we also ate deliciously! 👍
