Shekamu in Nürnberg

We were satisfied. The food was okay. Without knowing what Persian food tastes like, we found a lot of it to be very sour. Nevertheless, you can tell that quality ingredients are used. What was a bit negative, we once had water with a straw (glass), unfortunately it wasn't completely clean, so I didn't drink from it. The service was ok, I think the lady was new, which can be forgiven. Conclusion: it was ok, we don't know if we would come again.

Brilliant, welcoming, warm staff! Food was incredible we had starters and mains which were exceptional!!! A lovely atmosphere, we would highly recommend visiting!

There were ten of us here for dinner. Reservation is definitely required. The food was very good, everyone was happy. We'd love to come back.

The food was delicious, but I found the prices to be a bit too high. In addition, the service wasn't really good... for example, our used cutlery was returned after the starter had been cleared away because we needed it for the main course. Would have found it more appropriate to get new cutlery. I also found the Christmas decorations to be a bit too lavish and overloaded.

The best restaurant I've been to this year. The food, service and atmosphere were just great! Gladly again.

Last night we tried the Shekamu. This offers Persian cuisine. We made a reservation based on a tip in advance, which is particularly advisable on the weekend. The restaurant is quite small, yesterday there were 10 tables and was completely booked. Unfortunately, several spontaneous visitors had to be turned away. Pick-ups to go also went well, by the way. So, to the essentials, the food and ambience. We were greeted very friendly by the boss and shown to the table. This was beautifully decorated, with a dark candle, a cutlery bag and gold cutlery - nice to look at. What struck me very positively about the drinks menu was that there are not the usual drinks from the Coca Cola universe, but rather selected drinks such as homemade lemonades, lemonades from Iran (great varieties such as malt pineapple or malt coffee), but also various Cocktails, infused water and elephant iced tea. As an aperitif there were 2 different gin and tonics and then a pineapple lemonade and a homemade blueberry lemonade with ginger - very nice! The menu reads amazingly and we would have loved to try everything. We decided on 3 starters. These come in small bowls with bread and are therefore ideal for sharing with each other. Specifically there were: - Kashke Bademjan (grilled, chopped eggplant with garlic, mint, fried onions and a kashk sauce, served with bread) - Sir Torshi (homemade garlic pickled in white wine vinegar; similar to mixed pickles) - Zeytun Parvarde (green olives marinated in a Persian marinade made from ground walnuts, pomegranate pulp, garlic & herbs) The starters were a real taste explosion. The mix of spicy, sweet and sour, especially with the olives, is simply brilliant and we enjoyed every bite. After a reasonable wait, our two main courses arrived: I was able to enjoy Djudje Masti (pieces of chicken fillet marinated in a yogurt and mayonnaise marinade); There was also basmati rice with saffron and grilled vegetables. My companion chose Soltani and was happy about a grilled skewer of minced lamb and rack of lamb, as well as rice and grilled vegetables. Because we were curious, we ordered the tahdig option that was offered with the rice. The waitress explained to us that the rice is deliberately allowed to settle on the bottom of the pot, which forms a crispy layer. This rice cake was placed on the basmati rice along with pomegranate seeds and was super delicious. When it comes to the main courses, I would especially like to highlight the meat, which was really INCREDIBLY juicy. The marinades were very harmonious, well seasoned and there was also the spice sumac and vinegar berries on the table, which gave the meat a special flavor. Both dishes were very plentiful and unfortunately we had to leave some of the rice behind because otherwise we would have burst. 🙂 After a while we wanted to try the desserts again and could hardly decide. It was then the Black Sonati Sandwich, 2 ice cream sandwiches in a black waffle on a pistachio cream with rose petals and pistachio chips. Without words and SOOO unbelievably good! There was also a double espresso and a Dalgona. I particularly liked the unobtrusive but at the same time present manner of the waitresses, especially the boss. She was super friendly and was happy to advise us on our choice of food.

Nice restaurant, very tasty food, and many very tasty vegan alternatives as well as a large selection of drinks. completely satisfied.

Super tasty and very friendly! ☺️

Craziness! Wonderful and family atmosphere, you are welcomed as if you were there every day! I would love to come back ☺️

We were there for dinner last night and the service was friendly. But unfortunately my son had a meat dish. He vomited heavily last night and we won't be visiting the restaurant again.

I have a very bad opinion about a restaurant that has a very small space and never accommodates guests. The staff is so disorganized that they can't even process take-away orders without a reservation. They say you have to reserve a week in advance. In my opinion this behavior is really unprofessional for a restaurant. Plus, the quality of the food isn't worth all the effort - it's way too greasy.

Simply delicious..😋 Super nice people and you feel at home here... 😍

Absolutely love this place and the food is incredible.

The lovely Shekamu team / restaurant has not been our absolute favorite restaurant in Nuremberg for a long time, which we would recommend to everyone 😉 They also put together a fantastic catering for our most special day, it was simply incredibly delicious and all the guests were just happy. Many thanks again to the whole team... we look forward to coming back soon 😋 Vivi & Fabi

Absolutely my favorite restaurant!!!

So good!! Must visit in Nuremberg. Food, service, drinks 10/10

A truly exceptional culinary experience! We tried the Soltani and the Djudje and both were simply outstanding. The chicken skewer was incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned, and the lamb skewer was equally delicious. The minced meat skewer rounded things off wonderfully – every element on the plate was a delight. We can highly recommend the garlic sauce. I would particularly like to emphasize the excellent service. The two siblings who run the restaurant gave us a warm welcome and took excellent care of us the entire time. You can feel that the work here is done with passion and attention to detail. We'll definitely be back!

Not particularly big, but cozy. Unobtrusively stylish with a personal touch, without exaggerating. International flair, international audience. Very friendly and warm service with a personal touch. Not exactly cheap, but the great food and drinks are definitely worth the money!

Super delicious food and very loving staff. We had samosas and this incredibly good lava cake.

Great food and cool team! We always enjoy coming here. The quality of the food is really good and so is the selection. Be sure to stop by!

Dank Tripadvisor bin ich zu diesem Restaurant gekommen. Ich bin sehr freundlich empfangen worden, habe einen Tisch bekommen, obwohl das Restaurant sehr gut besucht war, bin ich aber verhältnismäßig schnell bedient worden. Das Essen war zwar sehr lecker und beide Spieße total lecker, aber für meinen Geschmack hätte diese etwas saftiger sein können, hatte das Gefühl, dass etwas zu trocken waren. Ansonsten bestens.

Great food, great service, overall everything was great.

Very friendly people. The food is super delicious. Any time.

Shekamu not only offers delicious Persian dishes, but also super friendly and fast service. Even shortly before the kitchen closed it was no problem to eat. The aromatic starter platter for two people is particularly recommended. Definitely worth a visit!

We had grilled meat skewers with rice cakes and chicken and rice stew. Both were very tasty. The explanations from the service staff helped our decision. The staff was very friendly. It is definitely advisable to make a reservation as there are only a few seats in the restaurant. Outside sits directly on the sidewalk and street.

Very tasty food. Something completely different for the taste buds.

Been there for the first and not the last time 😊...Food was very good, good combination, tasty. A friendly and attentive service. Cozy, everything coordinates well, and the outdoor area also looks inviting.

Shekmo restaurant was very wonderful, the staff were very kind, especially <Iman>🌷, who made the atmosphere of the restaurant very intimate and friendly. I tried the Kebab mix plate, Kash va Badenjan and Fesenjan, they were amazing. After a long time, the taste of Dough-e Abali revived a nostalgic feeling in me.

As an Iranian Expat in Europe, I often haunt for good authentic Iranian restaurants when I am traveling somewhere new. Shekamu Restaurant was one of the best I have tried so far. We felt completely welcomed, kind staff and awesome food. What else can I say, nothing except my sincere recommendation if you are looking for delicious Iranian cuisine in Nuremberg.

I have never seen such poor service and such poor quality and disrespect for people and employees in Nuremberg. Unfortunately we don't need shops like this in Nuremberg

Such poor service and and respect, their staff

I really enjoyed this restaurant, especially the warm and welcoming staff. It's a good idea to make a reservation in advance, especially on weekends!

Service great, food fantastic, the ambience outside is a bit of a shame, not because of the restaurant's fault, but solely because of the location/environment.

Without exaggeration, it’s one of the best kebabs I’ve ever eaten in my entire life, and trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them!

Klein, aber sehr fein. Das Essen schmeckt wirklich hervorragend und wird sehr ansprechend angerichtet serviert. Das Personal ist äußerst freundlich und humorvoll, insgesamt kann ich Shekamu absolut empfehlen, es ist einen Besuch mehr als wert. Hinweis: Es empfiehlt sich, zu reservieren.

Very tasty and very friendly staff, I can only recommend it.

Nice little shop with great food

The quality of the food was good and the quantity was appropriate and not small. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good and the bathroom was excellent and clean, but the personality of the Iranian gentleman who worked there was very rude and ridiculous and made inappropriate jokes, which made it not a good experience in general.

The food is amazing and the service to I went in there on Sunday and I was really amused at how clean and beautiful the place was I really like the food because it was not over cooked or little cooked If ur near Nürnberg and thinking which Iranian restaurant u want to go this place while not have the most options is amazing the staff are really friendly and better the experience of enjoying on Iranian food I would recommend

Food 12/10! Staff is super nice!

Recommendation from a friend. Never had Persian food before. Am thrilled! The location is modern. I reserved online 2 hours in advance and received a confirmation within 10 minutes. Top! Staff and owner super nice and open-minded. You immediately feel welcome. The food is fantastically delicious. The meat is so delicious and marinated with different ingredients. There is so much choice. The vegan selection of meat also appealed to me. Also the vegan bowl with vegan feta. Simply great! You won't find any other restaurants in NBG. The highlight is the vegan AND gluten-free brownie. I'll definitely come back, there's just so many more delicious things I want to try.

Very delicious and high quality.

Excellent Persian food ... I can only recommend...so authentic... I can't find anything negative with the food and staff ...only the location itself is not so big ...but as far as their food is so tasty I wouldn't mind it at all ! Highly recommended! Edit : We were there a second time . The food was so low quality... So I really don't know how once was so perfect and once so awful! In addition to that , the manager is rude to his personnel and waiters. This makes guests very uncomfortable.

The food at the restaurant is excellent and incredibly delicious and high-quality, maintaining the original taste of Persian cuisine. The restaurant staff are very kind, polite, and friendly. The restaurant is very clean, and the prices are quite reasonable, truly worth visiting a hundred times. The saffron ice cream served as a dessert in this restaurant tastes like heaven. Although my family and I live in another city, we have decided to visit Nuremberg at least once a month to dine at this restaurant. My niece, who has had Iranian kebab koobideh many times in Los Angeles, rated the koobideh at this restaurant higher and said its taste is unparalleled. Additionally, the supermarket next to the restaurant offers the best and highest quality Iranian food products at the best prices.

Very overpriced for what you get.

Definitely a recommended restaurant. Nice ambience, hospitable, restaurant owner very open and communicative, staff also particularly nice and oriented towards the guests' wishes. Delicious food and good wine. We thank you very much for this.

Top service and really delicious food. We were certainly not there for the first and last time. Really an exception in the catering industry. Absolute recommendation!

Perfection…actually almost 6 stars 😉

A great recommendation for everyone - meat lovers to vegans. Courteous and friendly staff make a visit to the cozy restaurant perfect. I had the delicious Kubideh and a warm vegan brownie for dessert. The dishes are explained simply and the allergens are highlighted. See you soon!

Super delicious and authentic food! Very courteous and friendly service. I'm already looking forward to the next time at Shekamu.

Insanely delicious and very friendly staff! :)

Super nice service, fantastic food - clear recommendation! The restaurant has charm, offers delicious homemade drinks and incredibly tasty food. The eggplant yogurt dip perfectly rounded off the meat dish with rice, and the starter was also very tasty. We will come back in any case!

I've been recommended it so many times, but I was here for the first time at the beginning of April. Since then, every 2-3 weeks. A little more expensive but it's definitely worth the price. The vegan punch is flavored down to the last detail. Various appetizers were all good too! So Shekamu is definitely suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and my blackheads told me the meat also tasted very good. Unfortunately there are only 0.33 bottles available, but that doesn't spoil much.

I frequently dine at this restaurant, and the food is generally well-prepared and delicious. However, on my last visit, the fesenjoon did not taste fresh. Despite this, I proceeded with my meal until I discovered a white hair in the food. I discreetly and politely informed the server, intending merely to notify them. To my surprise, she returned without any apology and remarked that everyone in the kitchen has black hair, suggesting she had no idea where the white hair could have come from. This response was unprofessional and rude, particularly given that the restaurant owner was present.

An unforgettable evening, thanks to this restaurant. The staff, the drinks and the delicious food are excellent for quickly feeling comfortable and welcome. You get a real holiday feeling. The toilet is also worth mentioning! There is everything a man/woman could need there. Whether you need a deodorant, tampons or moist toilet paper, you can find it here. And the best thing in my opinion is that there are guest towels there for everyone, which you then throw into a nice laundry basket after use.

Best Yuzu and big portions! The place was chic but cozy and the owners were also super friendly

Thank you so much for the great girls' evening! Great concept, delicious food, wonderful hosts - we would love to come back 🤗

The staff are friendly and caring. The food and atmosphere are nice. I can definitely recommend it.

It's one of those restaurants where you're afraid to order something new on your second visit because it was so unforgettably good on your first visit.

Super tasty and authentic Persian food. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and clean. Service and the owner are very friendly and helpful. We come here regularly and are always very satisfied. We will continue to be guests here often in the future :)

Anyone looking for something other than Italian, Asian or American is in good hands here. Almost every dish can also be ordered as a vegan alternative. The starter “KASHKE BADEMJAN” is particularly recommended. Anyone who loves traditional cuisine is well served with the dish “GHORME SABZI”. Particularly noteworthy is the very polite and courteous staff.

The food and service were excellent. The kebabs were cooked very well, the vegetable stew was very delicious, the eggplant curd was good, but the side dishes like onion and mint were too much compared to the original curd and eggplant. However, it was delicious and fresh. Drinks were good. Suggestions for improvement: 1- Appetizers such as eggplant curd or Mirza Ghasemi should be served with vegetables. Two- other stews such as eggplant stuffing should be added to the daily menu. Thanks

Fantastic food, super friendly and patient staff. We would love to come back!

Without a doubt the best Persian restaurant in the region. Great quality, juicy, flavorful and great service.

Extremely delicious food! The chef is a lady from Iran and also my Irani friend admired the dishes. So it's genuine:)

It was a great evening, a lovely atmosphere, great service and sensational food. Thanks to the crew. See you soon and greetings.

Super nice staff, very tasty food and a clean little restaurant. The taste is very, very strong... again at any time!

Mega delicious food - super friendly service. Always my pleasure.

I haven't eaten as well as I did here at shekamu in a long time. Authentic Persian cuisine and very friendly staff, gladly again! I can highly recommend the dish Djudje Soltani.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving delicious Persian cuisine.

Very tasty food, large portions and super friendly service. Went there on Sunday lunchtime right after it opened and were warmly greeted. Each had a starter and main course. We sat outside on the bench in the sun. There is an awning above to provide sun and weather protection and there are thin fleece blankets for the body. The interior is very authentic, the outside could be a little more. Maybe lanterns or matching lights on the table. Can only recommend it!

The food was really outstanding, everything was perfect here. The service was also attentive, quick and friendly. The drinks menu could be expanded to include wines, but that's just an idea. - Two stars for truly outrageous price increases. Kabab Torsh cost €18.90 in mid-2023 - in April '24 we are at €27.90 (47.6%!)...// Answer to owner answer: So you were already charging €18.90 for inferior meat back then ? Doesn't make things better 😉

Very simply furnished, but the service was super friendly and explained terms on the menu in detail that might have been incomprehensible. There are very exotic dishes here, all of which stand out thanks to the targeted use of high-quality spices and exciting combinations (e.g. marinades made from pomegranate and walnut). Only the prices are a bit high, but you also get high-quality meat and good portions.

Something different like Greek or Italian. Food was simply phenomenal. 5 out of 5 stars in all categories. You can go there.👌👌

Just 10/10 everything tasted very good

I made a reservation online and asked for a table in the corner, which is what I got. The confirmation of the reservation also came quickly. The restaurant is right on the street, in a settlement, you can park on the street. During the week this is permitted from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for one hour with a parking disc. The ambience is beautiful, modern and richly detailed. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food also came very quickly and was delicious. You could tell that it was of high quality. The dessert (lava cake) was also incredibly good. The glass noodle ice cream was okay, some of it had real chunks of ice in it. There is only one (unisex) toilet, but it is very nicely furnished and hygienic. Deodorant, disinfectant and hand cream are also offered, as well as a few hygiene products for women. I find it very sweet. All in all, I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to others. I hope my review was helpful.

Lemonade great. Lamb dish good, but too much rice and value for money could be better.

This is a small cozy restaurant with very friendly staff. Just try the cuisine, we were very pleasantly surprised and will definitely return. The staff is open, close to guests and happy to answer questions. The food is absolutely great.

Great service and very tasty food! Great restaurant, but there is a reduction in the volume in the restaurant when the place is full.

Super tasty food and service was really nice and accommodating. We were even allowed to try something to make it easier for us to decide which main course to take. Overall, a very nice “experience”. We will definitely come back

Very nice evening, delicious food

Rude staff and really unhelpful. Not sure about genuineness of all the good reviews.

The worst restaurant I've ever been to in Nuremberg. The staff was rude and customer service was terrible. Rude staff and the worst customer service ever. I will never go there again.

The best persian restaurant in Nürnberg😊 The taste of food is amazing

Never go there !!! Staff were so rude, they have no manors and do not know how to talk to customers.

Visited the restaurant with high hopes but left deeply disappointed. The staff ignored us for a long time, and when they finally noticed, they were rude and unhelpful. We left without ordering due to the poor service. Will not return.

This restaurant is my undisputed number one in service, taste, selection and attention. We have been here several times and will be here more often! It tastes better every time you visit! If you could give 10 stars I would give it 11!

My favorite restaurant! Absolute top cuisine! EVERYTHING (be it drinks, main courses, starters) is prepared with so much passion and love. 5 stars are not enough!!! We always love coming here!!

Great cuisine, warm and extremely friendly crew. A real pearl of Nuremberg's southern city - nothing like it has been seen or experienced before. Shekamu and proud of it!

I've been there several times with friends and it's always been a great experience: great service including good advice for newcomers and simply delicious food! The good background noise is also worth mentioning: thanks to heavy curtains and insulation on the ceiling, you can easily have a conversation at the table, even when there are a lot of visitors, without having to raise your voice. I've had a completely different experience in other restaurants. The malt lemonade Istak is also highly recommended - nice stuff!

Everything was good, but I don't recommend Chalukbob of any kind, it doesn't taste like Iranian kebab at all

Simply great! Extremely friendly and personable young operators. Best Persian cuisine. I am always amazed...

- Mega delicious food! -great atmosphere! -Employees and the boss are super nice! -Dogs 🐶 are also welcome We always enjoy coming back. If you want to try something new, you should definitely come by. Reservations are possible online without the hassle of calling.

Last week, five of us had dinner. (Booked online beforehand and responded quickly.) It is a small, cozy restaurant with very friendly staff. Just try out the kitchen, we were very positively surprised and will definitely come back. The staff is open-minded, close to the guests and happy to answer questions. The food is simply great. The homemade lemonade is also super delicious.

Super tasty food in traditional Persian style. Service was also very nice, just as you would imagine!

Very friendly service. The food was simply wonderful, I can only recommend it.

It was a celebration. From the reservation to the great food, the warm and professional service to the farewell. We felt very comfortable with you. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The food is particularly good, the service is very, very friendly and patient The restaurant is really worth the trip

Super delicious food, great selection and very nice staff, total recommendation!

Very tasty food with super friendly staff.
