Sepideh Restaurant in Hamburg

Sepideh's quality has declined significantly compared to its former glory. While the food is still delicious, the service and ambiance are a complete flop. We (6 people) had to call the waiter after 20 minutes because no one came. He neither greeted us nor listened properly. Then he brought us the wrong food, and I had to wait 15 minutes for the right dish, by which time the others were almost finished. There was no apology. The atmosphere is loud and hectic, very uncomfortable.

The food was super delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. But I found the portion a bit boring. Everything tasted perfect, and the staff was friendly.

Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to inform you that I was dissatisfied with the telephone information at your restaurant, "Sepideh." The person answering the phone was not professional or friendly enough. This unfortunately does not leave a good impression of your restaurant. I ask you to pay more attention to this area. Sincerely

The best meal I've ever eaten. The best Kubideh in Hamburg. Highly recommended.

The quality of the food hasn't changed in many years and is acceptable. The staff is respectful and polite, and the price is very good.

The food is always really great, by far better than any other restaurant in Hamburg, and the service and attitude are as good as always. I hope you always succeed 👌👌👌

Very clean, family-friendly environment and respectful behavior.

My first Persian meal – and I wasn't ready. A wonderful culinary journey through the Orient with lamb, chicken, wonderful rice, and saffron ice cream. Plus, tea to finish. Friendly staff, a great menu, fair prices, and very generous portions. Perfect! I also liked the lively, relaxed atmosphere, but that made the noise quite loud. I would go back in a heartbeat.

The food here is honestly the best I’ve ever had in Germany – absolutely delicious! The staff were really nice and the atmosphere was cozy, though the music would be even better without YouTube ads. Prices can be a little high, but the quality makes up for it. One small idea: offering a free tea after the meal (like some Iranian restaurants do) would be a lovely touch. Overall, highly recommended!

What I would recommend is friendliness, reliability, and respect, something the waitresses and waiters lack. The kebab was as if it had been grilled several hours ago and was now in front of me. Not recommended.

Unfortunately they have bad people skills and the rice wasn't cooked.

Sepideh is one of the most famous Persian restaurants in Hamburg, especially among Iranians. Authentic dishes of excellent quality are served here. We were very happy to be able to try Baghali Polo with Mahiche again after a long time. The portions are generous. My sister and I even shared one. The prices are fair for this quality. I highly recommend the restaurant and would return anytime.

We went there spontaneously and got a table after a short wait. The food was incredibly delicious and well worth the price.

Very delicious Persian food, highly recommended! :) We were spontaneously in Hamburg on a Saturday and wanted to eat something Persian. We ended up at Sepideh and were very kindly given a table. The food is super delicious and of high quality. The meat is incredibly tender, especially the Ghormeh Sabzi. The meat falls apart on your fork! The value for money is also good here, and the service is attentive. We will be happy to come back and thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Best regards from Hanover

Very friendly and good service. My family really enjoyed their kabobs. They had barg and kubideh. The bread for the kabob wasn't fresh, but rather lavash imported from Iran, which was very dry compared to the fresh bread. They served their skewers with rice, which was good. I had baghali polo and kuku sabzi. The rice was extremely oily, and the kuku had far too few herbs. Honestly, it didn't taste like what we're used to from kuku sabzi. I don't think the chef is Iranian. It was delicious, but not authentic. You sit comfortably and are treated kindly. Prices are also fair and reasonable. There's a parking garage nearby. There are very few vegetarian and not a single vegan dish. This is unfortunately a weak point of the restaurant.

The food was excellent, and the waiters' hospitality was truly impressive. I felt very comfortable.

We had a good time here, food and service and also the quality based on the price was good, so definitely I’ll come here again.

We were there today. There were only nine people. We waited 35 minutes at our table for a waiter. In the end, we called one ourselves. Our appetizer arrived after 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the service wasn't that great. I think the service and food were much, much better back then.

Super delicious food Nice staff

Went there today. Dined in with family (Table of 6). Lovely, clean, neat and tidy bathrooms, tables and surroundings. The food, drinks, tea, everything was amazing! Waiters/Waitresses were kind and friendly. I ordered the rice with boneless chicken kebab. My favourite was the rice🍚🧈. Delicious and buttery (only if you use butter given). The kebab was also juicy and flavourful🍡🍡. Best chai (tea) too. You can even optional amke it sweet with the sugar cube given which instantly melt when put into the tea, which I did☕️. The best restaurant for families or large groups to dine in. They provide everything , even high chairs for small children, toddlers and babies. Prices are also pretty decent. Would definitely go back if I had the chance to! 👍😋🙏Would highly recommend for all ages and group sizes. And to the waiters/waitresses: Besiar ziat taskakor bhar e zamatai e tan! ✨️❤️✨️

Wow, DELICIOUS. My first time in Hamburg, didnt even knew there were Persian restaurant jn here. This place was right across my hotel. Went there for lunch, place was fairly full, indicating of good food. I ordered a large dough,( yogurt drink) and by large it was .5 L and boy was it delicious. Starter i ordered barley soup, and it did not disappoint. Maybe was a bit small. 😅 For the main course i got the soltani plate, and i was very happy with the quality of the filet and the koobideh ( ground beef). The rice was also perfectly cooked. If I could make 1 small recommendation it would be to serve a better bread, or at least warm the bread before serving. Other wise 10/10 Definitely check the out.

The quality of the food was below expectations. We waited on the street for three-quarters of an hour to get a table, as dogs aren't allowed there. You have to sit outside. An important point for dog owners.

I recently visited this Iranian restaurant and was very impressed. The atmosphere is elegant and authentic, reflecting Iranian culture beautifully. The food was delicious, especially the saffron rice and grilled meats, all prepared with great care. Service was professional and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality Iranian cuisine in a refined setting.

I went to Sepideh Restaurant with a friend for lunch today. Although we were looking forward to a pleasant meal, our experience was unfortunately marred by the atmosphere. The entire restaurant was extremely loud. This was due not only to poor acoustics, but also, and above all, to the volume of other guests. It was almost impossible to have a normal conversation at our own table without having to shout at each other. A quiet and relaxed meal was unfortunately out of the question under these circumstances. We felt like we had to finish quickly to escape the noise. That's a shame, because it's impossible to fully enjoy the meal. If you value a quiet and pleasant atmosphere, this is unfortunately the wrong place for you.

The best Iranian kebab I’ve eaten outside Iran.

The food was really great, but the restaurant as a whole was a bit loud and not very cozy.

Lovely restaurant. Lovely Persian food. Very attentive service. Plenty of room for bigger groups or families too.

We ordered fesenjan and kebab kobideh, the kebab kobideh was much thinner and tasted very fatty. And the fesenjan stew was completely canned food. Because I had bought canned fesenjan stew before, it had exactly the same texture and taste. I don't think stews should be ordered.

Sepideh in Wandsbek impresses with fantastic Persian cuisine: aromatic spices, balanced flavors, and filling portions ensure an all-round successful taste experience. Prices are within the usual range and reflect the quality offered. The restaurant's central location makes it easy to reach, and the ambiance impresses with a harmonious, yet understated interior. Thanks to consistently high occupancy, the atmosphere is lively without being intrusive. The service is friendly and attentive. Ideal for an evening with friends, family, or a special occasion – this is a relaxed place to enjoy the food. The only drawback: there are hardly any vegetarian dishes, which means vegetarians quickly reach their limits. Therefore, a solid four stars – I'd be happy to come back!

The best Persian food in years, and the quality is still as good as it was in the beginning! Highly recommended!

WARNING! This place is trying to kill you with food that's too delicious. The portions are very generous and simply too delicious to stop eating. I must have consumed 2000 calories in an hour. I had quite a stomach ache afterward. Not for the faint of heart! Simply too delicious to be true!

Very good service and really delicious food would gladly go back

The fact that you won't be able to order from home in 2025 is terrible.

Nice restaurant with very tasty food and large portions.

Delicious and healthy food. Everytime with fast and friendly service. We are customers since 2008 without any complaints.

They have a variety of delicious kebab varieties!

We ordered the food by phone and were able to pick it up after 15 minutes. Everything was ready on time and absolutely delicious.

This was definitely authentic Persian cuisine, and we received a very friendly welcome. The food was delicious. I'm not used to eating lamb, but it was absolutely wonderful. There was no aftertaste; I would have mistaken the meat for beef. The service team was very attentive.

Delicious, spicy food in a not-so-pleasant atmosphere. Loud, hectic, and therefore not suitable for a cozy evening. Unfortunately, the portion of meat to rice is disproportionate, as the plate is mostly covered in rice. Still, nothing to complain about in terms of taste! Although it took a bit longer to be served, the service was very friendly and attentive! 🤝

I can only recommend it. Excellent service and the food is delicious. 👍 The staff are very friendly and polite, especially Mr. Mustafa.

Highly recommended, the food was excellent and the service was courteous, keep it up 👍

My first time eating Persian food and it was very good!

Fantastic food, the best lamb I ever ate, rice was cooked perfectly. Refreshing salty and sour sparkling Persian yoghurt completed the dish in a fantastic way. Staff very friendly. Highly recommended

I always eat Kubideh and love it❤️❤️

Good quality for years! Always happy to order again.

Very tasty and highly recommended. We'll be back.

I was very pleasantly surprised. Very tasty and made with love. A perfect place for families.

Truly one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The restaurant lives up to its reputation. Five of us dropped in spontaneously and were warmly welcomed; there was a free table outside for us. The waitress took enough time to welcome us and offered recommendations. The minced lamb skewer was incredibly juicy and delicious, the rice was super tasty, and the chicken was fantastically seasoned. Truly a unique experience, highly recommended!

The food was okay, typical Afghan-Iranian fare, but nothing special. What's not good at all is the bread—neither fresh nor traditional. A restaurant with this concept should definitely offer authentic Afghan or Iranian bread. Unfortunately, this spoiled the whole experience.

Unfortunately, I have to walk past it every now and then...

Comparing of price and quality is good. Delicious persian food and side dishes . Staffs are friendly and very responsive.

Very tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Consistently excellent for years, a true gem of Persian cuisine I have been a regular customer at this Persian restaurant for many years and can confidently say it is one of the best of its kind. Over all this time, the restaurant has not only maintained its high quality but continues to delight me, whether with its taste, service, or atmosphere. The dishes are prepared with care and attention to detail; you immediately taste the utmost importance placed on quality, freshness, and authenticity. I am particularly impressed by the fact that the cuisine has not declined over the years. The dishes are always superbly seasoned, the ingredients fresh, the meat tender, and the side dishes balanced. The ambience also contributes to the overall experience: warm, inviting, and traditional without being intrusive. The service is always friendly, attentive, and cordial; you feel welcome, almost like a guest among friends. What makes this restaurant special for me is its consistent reliability. In a time when many restaurants lose quality over time, this establishment remains true to its standards. This is precisely what makes it a permanent fixture for me whenever I want to enjoy Persian food or treat guests to something special. In short: a place with soul, flavor, and consistency. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates Persian cuisine or wants to get to know it!

The quality of the Iranian food is excellent—tasteful and prepared with great care. Although the restaurant was very busy and quite noisy, due to its popularity, the service was remarkably prompt and efficient. Everything was served quickly and professionally. A great place for authentic food if you don't mind a lively atmosphere.

Service was poor from the start. The appetizer arrived much too late – when we finally got it, it was inedible. The staff were barely attentive, and even paying took forever. A restaurant visit isn't just about the food, but also about the feeling of being welcomed.

The worst restaurant that I have gone to in my life and it smells very bad

Yesterday the whole family had lunch at this restaurant and each of us ordered different dishes. The whole family became sick: they had diarrhea, vomiting and nausea. And also of course we ate there two months ago, the same thing happened and the whole family got sick. We were hoping this would only happen once, but unfortunately it happened again yesterday.

The best restaurant in all of Germany! Service outstanding! You can't beat the taste either! You have to be lucky to find parking, but let us arrange it for you.

It was very good. The initial contact is very important. We were a group of 9 people. Reception and service were excellent. I will come back to Hamburg again

I was there with my friends. The staff seemed a bit irritated, but since it was towards the end of working hours, I understand that. I ordered Fesenjan and my friends each ordered their favorite dishes. Fesenjan should normally have a sweet and sour taste, but my dish was so sweet that it could be more accurately described as “Fesenjan jam”. The meat consisted of two very small pieces of chicken thighs. The quality of the Koobideh and Joojeh kebabs was significantly better, and my friends' other dishes also looked better - with the exception of the Kuku Sabzi, which was very small and undercooked. The best part of my meal was the excellent ayran, but unfortunately that didn't make up for the disappointment with the food overall.

Nice Persian restaurant in Wandsbek. This shop has been my go-to restaurant for delicious Persian food for years. Most of the time we try our luck without making a reservation in advance, but if you want to be on the safe side, you should call in advance, as it can sometimes be very crowded here. I usually take the 32. You get a large portion with super tender lamb that almost falls off the bone. Plus a full plate of rice. The meat was very seasoned so it didn't smell too much like lamb. For the really hungry 30. First you get some flatbread, parsley and onions. My girlfriend tried the 35. The sauce wasn't my favorite. The Kabab Kubideh also taste very good. Juicy and perfectly seasoned. I can highly recommend this restaurant for hearty food

Our favorite Persian. Delicious. The only criticism: inflation is noticeable here too. Please don't become incredibly expensive.

On Saturday I picked up two takeout meals and drove 10 miles home. When I opened the food, as you can see in the photo, I saw that there was black mold on the bread. I called but it wasn't taken seriously. Maybe this kind of thing doesn't happen when you eat in a restaurant. However, if you order takeaway food, please check it carefully beforehand.

I went there like 2 or 3 times and every time their food was salty. When it gets busy, they forget to bring the food.

Was here for the first time today, wooow very tasty, especially the rice 🥰 I would love to come back

I have been a regular customer at this restaurant for nine years as the food is always fresh and delicious. It's my favorite restaurant. But my last visit was unfortunately disappointing. I was there with a guest who was visiting from abroad. The waitress (with a tattoo on her arm) asked us if we would like tea. We said yes – as is customary to drink tea after dinner. But the tea never came. We waited a long time and I spoke to her about it - but there was neither an apology nor a reaction. I understand that it was a stressful time, but still you shouldn't forget the guests. The service used to be much better. I hope things improve again.

Super delicious Iranian food and very respectful staff

As always, the food was very tasty… top restaurant!!!

Price performance is generally top, except for the salad the food is super delicious

It’s great Iran’s restaurant the food was sooo delicious ( the rice is very recommend ) and the price is acceptable .. it’s was good experience

Great load Delicious food Nice staff ❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Friendly staff with delicious food."

A bit of home filled. You can eat well

You can't complain about anything, just delicious 👍🏽

Very unfriendly staff. Food is just okay but for the unfriendliness and the ambience it's not worth it

Everything is very good and great and only the price is high

It tastes very good, but the service is not great, you have to wait for a really long time, which is normal, but still. The food is fantastic, very juicy and tender Adana, but the rice needs to have a little more flavor, which is TOP at a high level

Although it was busy and we had to wait in line, the staff was friendly and the service was very fast and professional. The food was delicious and excellent value for money! We had the Koubideh, which was very tasty and tender, and the Mahiche was also very good! We will visit the restaurant again when we're back in Hamburg! I definitely recommend it! Thanks ;)

5 stars is not enough for this wonderful restaurant.

friendly, delicious food, went relatively quickly🌼

Really delicious food, we took jodje and kobideh and it was well cooked and delicious. The service was really fast, even in the rush hours. I don't like the crowded atmosphere and it was really crowded. I strongly recommend them.

When you look forward to your meal in Ramadan and then you get THIS... Aren't you ashamed?! Aren't you afraid of God?!

This Persian restaurant is highly recommended! The rice was incredibly fluffy and aromatic, perfectly seasoned, and had a great texture. It was accompanied by a delicious kebab that was wonderfully juicy and tender – just as it should be. The combination of traditional spices and high-quality preparation really won me over. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also very pleasant: stylishly decorated, with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests feel truly at home here. If you want to enjoy authentic Persian cuisine, you should definitely try this restaurant – I will definitely be back!

I'm super satisfied 👍🏽 I can only recommend it 😊 I will always come to visit you when I'm out and about in Hamburg again 🙋🏻

Wow really tasty! Abulfazl best waiter

No space, you can't eat in peace

If you are in Hamburg you should definitely eat in this restaurant

Great food, pleasant and neat environment, fast service, friendly and attentive staff, very good prices! Will definately come back!

Update (02/26/2025): Down from five stars to two. Haven't been there since 2022, was shocked and disappointed because I used to be a regular customer for almost 15 years. Now reminds me of McDonalds, i.e. commercial fast food shop. Eat: Poorly seasoned and greasy, very different from previous years. Service: Six waiters at the start and no one has a plan or experience in service. Ambiance: You feel like you're in a train station. People are constantly coming in and out or standing around in the dining area waiting to be picked up. Conclusion: No love for food and customers as in previous years. There are better Persian restaurants in Wandsbek and Oststeinbek. ==> Please work your way back to the old quality, then I'll definitely come over for dinner again.

very fast service hospitable and quite tasty recommended

I'm eating here right now, Kubideh is very fresh and delicious. Praise to the kitchen and service 👌

Yes, very tasty, fast service etc

A real piece of Persia in Hamburg! I was at the Sepid restaurant and absolutely loved it! The food was incredibly tasty, authentic and prepared with a lot of love. I was particularly impressed by the Kabab, Fesenjan and Sabzi Polo with fish - simply perfectly seasoned and fresh! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, as was the service. The staff is very friendly, attentive and makes you feel comfortable. If you love Persian cuisine or want to get to know it, this is the right place for you. I'll definitely be back! Clear recommendation 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Always at the best level. One of the best Iranian cuisines in Hamburg

The very best food in all of Hamburg.

Best restaurant in Hamburg, delicious food and clean. The employees are very friendly. We're just going there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

One of the best persian restaurants in Hamburg.nice quality and staff. Very warm and beautiful environment

Great quality and customer service

We always come from Vejle to Hamburg to eat here. We drive only to eat here. The 3 hour drive is well worth it
