Shiraz Restaurant in Darmstadt

Very nice atmosphere, but the prices are exorbitantly expensive 🙃 35€ for the starter plate!!

A Persian dream, really great value for money, thanks for the lovely evening, we'll be back 😊

The starter “platter” turned out to be tasty, but my main course was inedible. The meat was extremely fatty and undercooked. Unfortunately a real disappointment for the price, one would have expected more.

I love this restaurant. The food is always delicious and satisfying. 🥰😍

Döner stall only with tablecloth and cutlery.

Simply great from start to finish and highly recommended

A very aesthetic room for dining, friendly, courteous staff, from the starter plate to the main course and the dessert, everything was very, very tasty. Important topic, they brought us pre-heated plates, new cutlery was offered to us after the starter, all in all a very recommendable restaurant.

If you want to eat something different, you've come to the right place! The food was very tasty 😋 and the service was extremely attentive. Everything is in an upper price range, but this is more than justified by the beautiful ambience.

Wonderful restaurant, a bit cramped inside but cozy. The food was excellent, the service was super nice. We'll be back.

Really, the quality of the food is awful, not even worth it for free

Again a very nice and good meal in a very nice atmosphere

Unfortunately, the resteraunt is more appearance than reality. Anyone who has ever prepared saffron rice themselves may understand that the saffron rice hardly has the required taste. Rather, it just looks colored, but the taste is also missing. Really cheeky given the prices. Added to this are the rude waiters. We had called beforehand to say we were going to be late, which obviously wasn't passed on as when we arrived we were rudely told to call next time otherwise we couldn't be guaranteed a table (which is par for the course when you don't call). We had to wait a long time for the service (not for the food itself). The waiter also seemed annoyed when paying. If you have a gourmet block, it's worth a visit as an experience, but I wouldn't pay full price for it. Especially the desserts and starters are comparative. extremely overpriced. I have never seen a Persian restaurant charge €10 for a little yoghurt (with small flavor variations) with a little bread. Maybe because I've eaten in the right restaurants so far. Very nice and authentic decor that is good for distracting from everything else. I think people who have never eaten Persian before will be excited to try something different :)

Unfortunately the price/performance ratio isn't right at all. The food was ok - but nothing more. Unfortunately, 35€/plate is much too high here

Very tasty food. Service amazing. Would love to come back.

Everything was fine except for the table, which was much too small for three. Food very tasty.

The food is great, very tasty and plentiful and the price-performance ratio is good. I think it's a shame that there are time slots (like everywhere now). If you want to meet up with your family for an evening together, two hours isn't enough. But we will come back and try more dishes.

Great food! Service could be better.

A really great authentic restaurant. With high quality food and good service. The heated winter garden was very cozy. Rather upscale price category, but absolutely worth the price.

Very tasty, authentic and friendly!

Very tasty, but also really expensive. The service is friendly and attentive. There are also cards in English.

Very tasty food with very nice staff :)

Very elegant and tasteful restaurant

Way too expensive, you can get the same food in Frankfurt for half the price ^^ the food is good, but unfortunately really too expensive for what it is.

Das Essen war sehr gut gewürzt und lecker. Der Service war ausgezeichnet und sehr gut organisiert, obwohl es komplett ausgebucht war. Reservierung erforderlich 😊

very authentic local with very professional and friendly staff. The food was very tasty and the price was very reasonable.

Absolutely recommended! We'd love to come back! 😉

Wie immer... Sehr schönes Ambiente... Essen super lecker... Service hervorragend... Wichtig... immer Tisch vorbestellen...

Nice place, good food and nice ambience

very unfriendly staff, made us feel very uncomfortable, once and never again! Absolutely not recommended.

As always, we were thrilled, absolutely delicious, tender lamb, very nice and polite service and great ambience. As always, everything was great. Thank you for the lovely evening

10 out of 10 stars! Really super authentic and delicious!

The food was flavorful, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and lively. It's definitely worth a visit!

Nice welcome, rich and tasty food as well as attentive, very friendly service. Recommended!

Great ambience, top service, delicious vegan food!

The restaurant offers delicious, authentic flavors, with a cozy interior and exceptionally friendly staff. However, the prices are steep—paying 25 euros for a simple dish like chicken with salad and rice feels excessive. Great food, but not quite worth the cost.

Just always great, wonderful food and a very special atmosphere. The service is very attentive. We love coming, especially on special occasions!

Dear team, we really enjoyed it. The FOOD, the service, the ambience, everything was top. Thanks to our gourmet block we found the way there. We'd love to come back.

Very nice staff, received a friendly welcome and were treated like “the guest is king” throughout! Apart from the good hospitality, the food was excellent The restaurant offers a large selection of Persian dishes and these stand out from all the dishes that I/we have tasted so far! Starter 1 (also shown in the pictures) is particularly recommended 🫦🫦 10/10 would eat again, good food, nice waiters, amazing restaurant 🔥

Very tasty lunch buffet and friendly service. Starter (leaf salad) and a dessert (pudding) manageable. There is a varied selection of main courses. Everything very fresh and delicious. We recommend the restaurant (two people were here for between 30 and 40 years). It's worth it!

Service very friendly and not intrusive. Food varied and very good!!?

There was a huge rush on Saturday at 8 p.m. Despite reserving a table, we had to wait 10 minutes until the other guests left. We were kindly asked to be patient and were amazed at how well the situation was managed logistically. As always, the food was absolutely outstanding! We had a great evening with our friends. Parking can be challenging at times - you should plan for that.

We were assigned a table in the cool winter garden and given the menu. Then no one cared about us anymore and we left.

Sufficiently large selection at the lunch buffet. Food is refilled in a timely manner. Attentive nice service.

Very tasty dishes. I can only recommend it to everyone 👌🏼. I particularly liked the sauce dishes.

Everything's great! Not cheap but inexpensive!

At most mediocre food & severely overpriced

The ambience was great. The food was great, especially the leg of lamb was super tender and tasty. The amount of food was also more than plentiful. Service was very friendly. Price-performance fits in my opinion. The only point deduction is for a drink that was forgotten to bring. We still had a wonderful evening.

We were there for the first time today. Very pleasantly surprised! Great food, very friendly service, but not exactly cheap! 😉

Very nice and attentive conditions. The ambience is very well thought out and great. The food is very tasty. Price-performance ratio is totally right.

Essen war sehr gut. Service war freundlich und zuvor kommend Ambiente sehr nett Für den ersten Besuch ein Erlebnis Danke dafür. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Da man mir einen Schlemmerblock geschekt hatte, sind wir auch mal im Shiraz gelandet. Das Essen war sehr lecker und wirkte frisch zubereitet. Owohl er in der Karte nicht erwähnt war, war auch ein Salat dabei. Das gibt es heute nur noch selten. Der Service war zunächst sehr aufmerksam, doch als wir zahlen wollten, ist längere Zeit niemand mehr zu sehen gewesen. Die Preise sind bereits etwas höher, aber in Anbetracht der Qualität noch angemessen. Dank Schlemmerblock dann doch noch günstig.

Very nice atmosphere, very courteous service, the food is fantastic. But: the portions have become smaller and even more expensive. If you sit at the back of the restaurant it is very hot and stuffy. There is no parking, you have to drive around the neighborhood until you find something. Overall, the overall package has become unattractive. Too bad

Excellent restaurant, delicious food, the only thing I didn't like was the reservation time from 6.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m., that's not enough for a cozy evening, but we were able to sit in the winter garden and it took longer, otherwise only recommended

Parking here is a challenge and extremely expensive, it's best to use public transport. Very attentive service and nice decor.

One of the best Persian restaurants in the Rhine Main area

Even though it is no longer an insider tip after these many years, nothing has diminished. Very tasty food, friendly staff and oriental atmosphere.

We ate very well, were served very courteously and had a few lovely hours in the cozy restaurant.

Unfortunately, I was informed by Google that the operator was trying to have my review deleted due to “defamation”. That doesn't work at all! Therefore only 1 star. In my opinion, the food offered to me was of good quality, but not particularly special and therefore too expensive for me. I found the service to be unfriendly and taciturn throughout, only the supposed owner greeted us nicely and said goodbye. The ambience seemed very nice and authentic to me, but also very narrow and loud and unfortunately the door to the outside area was always left open, so it felt cold in there.

Great restaurant, as soon as you enter you feel like you've been transported to the Orient. Great ambience. Very tasty food and the courteous but unobtrusive service made the evening perfect. Only the parking situation is not great.

Super Service und tolle Küche, da geht man immer wieder gerne hin! Die Küche schafft Wunderwerke. Und das Ambiente ist Wohlfühlen pur.

Very nicely decorated. The food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and you feel welcome from the start. The interior creates a pleasant atmosphere and the service staff is very polite and courteous. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. The portions are very small and the taste was just enough. As a Persian cuisine lover who has visited many restaurants, I am sad to say that this was the worst experience so far. The prices are particularly disappointing: the portions have shrunk, while the prices feel like they have doubled. Overall, the restaurant is very expensive without the quality of the food justifying it.

Best food, very nice service, beautiful ambience and reasonable prices. Especially recommended for the lunch buffet but everything was very good.

Shiraz Restaurant is a fantastic Persian restaurant that serves up incredibly flavorful dishes. The lamb is particularly delicious, and the service and atmosphere are both excellent. It's a great place to try something new and enjoy a delightful dining experience.

Absolutely NOT a recommendation for Persian cuisine. Extremely POOR value for money. Conclusion (exceptionally first): Here the owner is trying to make a fortune at the expense of Persian (food) culture. And this includes another restaurant (the Djadoo). Of course, one could claim that his “success” proves him right. However, it is no secret that most of the mostly non-Persian guests have little or no experience with Persian cuisine. Unfortunately, this is reflected in the reviews, which are simply inexplicably high (a rogue if someone thinks of purchased reviews!). The fact remains, however, that the ambience or the mere participation in two TV formats (which the boss harps on far too much) cannot console the considerable shortcomings/weaknesses. Ambience: Nice and sometimes a bit cheesy and sometimes depressing. Service: Part friendly and always trying hard! We didn't meet any professionals. For example, lost cutlery was handed over “manually”. Food/drinks: As a connoisseur of Persian cuisine, I could almost write a novel here, but I would like to spare you that. Just this much: In terms of quality, the restaurant is at housewife level. This is also (most likely) based on the modular principle (sometimes even thawed). Priced at star level! A simple barley soup as a starter (no matter what it was refined with) for twelve euros (!) is simply too expensive. We had to pay an incredible €131 for an average meal: - Starter (17 + 20) - Main course (26 + 22) - Dessert (ice cream 11 & rice pudding 18) - 2 ayran + 2 tea (11 + 6) Sorry, but it's more worth going to Salzburg to the Ikarus where you can get real star cuisine.

Very good ambience, food sufficient and very tasty 😋

Great Persian food in amazing atmosphere ! The place is decorated with a real love to detail making the food taste even better. The high quality of ingredients used to prepare the food is reflected in the dishes you eat. I simply love going there

What the menu promises doesn't come to the table in terms of taste. At this price level the taste should be significantly better

I can only say good things - absolutely delicious food, gorgeous decor, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, fast service. Wish we lived closer, we’ll definitely go out of our way to go back.

Restaurant to try although a little expensive. The grills are very good and plentiful. The setting is pleasant.

It's a little difficult for me to judge the restaurant because I fluctuate between 3 and 4 stars. First, the ambience and service are really very good. Nice, fast, etc. The food itself, what can I say. Unfortunately it wasn't really anything special and the taste was just ordinary. We have tasted better in other Persian restaurants. Ultimately I can only give it 3 stars because the food, which was ok but not really great, was, in our opinion, very overpriced.

The greeting and farewell were extremely friendly, we sat outside on the terrace and had a good table. The food was delicious, the selection on the menu is extremely large, so it takes a moment to decide. In terms of price, I think it's a higher class, so you shouldn't look at the euro so much. Parking wasn't a problem

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was harmonious. Overall we had a very pleasant evening. The service was friendly and well organized. Unfortunately there was a problem with a service person when paying. Finally, we ordered three mochas from a nice waitress and asked for the bill. As she went to take our order, another waiter suddenly intervened to charge us. This person was not informed about the mocha order, which he then had to subsequently enter into his device. We didn't receive an invoice after paying, as usual. We later asked for the bill from the waitress who had taken the last three mochas because we thought the amount was too high. As expected, the amount on the bill was lower than what the other waiter had quoted us. As a result, we paid more tips than we wanted and the situation overall seemed very strange. We wouldn't have expected this from a restaurant like this, which is more expensive in terms of price. Despite the excellent food and an actually successful evening, we went home with a bad feeling.

We were thrilled. The food was outstanding, the service was more than attentive. The order didn't take long to arrive. It was perfect from start to finish. Thank you

we were in a larger group. Very very tasty food. Many variations also for vegans and vegetarians. Meat was very tender and delicious sauces. But it's definitely a cheaper restaurant, which would probably be an option for us once a year, but it's definitely worth it.

Wir waren gestern zum ersten Mal im Shiraz und einfach nur begeistert. Angefangen vom freundlichen Empfang und netten zuvorkommenden Bedienungen und Wünschen, über die ansprechende Einrichtung mit Wohlfühlambiente, der Sauberkeit (auch in der Toilette) bis hin zum Essen. Das war eine Wucht, Auswahl, Aussehen, Geschmack, Gewürze: einfach sehr sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Sehr zu empfehlen und mit Schlemmerblock geht´s auch nen Tick preiswerter. Wir kommen bestimmt mal wieder.

We went to Shiraz for the first time yesterday and just loved it. Starting with the friendly welcome and nice, courteous service and requests, through the attractive furnishings with a feel-good atmosphere, the cleanliness (including in the toilet) and the food. It was amazing, selection, appearance, taste, spices: simply very, very tasty and rich. Highly recommended and with Schlemmerblock it's also a bit cheaper. We'll definitely come back again.

Lunch buffet was inedible, old overpriced food, service and ambience good, price/performance ratio doesn't fit.

I left a negative comment here a few years ago because the service was incredibly slow. Now my comment has been shown on Google as “defamation”. This way you can only get good reviews.

!!!!Warning!!!! This restaurant uses a law firm to remove unfavorable comments, making the overall rating unreliable. It would be better to work on the quality of the food instead of such manipulations. Simply embarrassing...

A regular local for years! Not the cheapest place, but extremely tasty and always a little journey into another world.

Really incredibly delicious food! It reminded me of home, the way my mom cooks it 😊 I went there with my friends for my birthday. My friends ate Persian food for the first time and were very satisfied. We ordered an appetizer platter and at the end a dessert platter for 6 people and it was more than enough for all of us. A little pricey, but the experience was definitely worth it. We would love to come back 😊

Critical reviews (even reviews with 3 stars) are deleted because they are allegedly defamatory. The only criticisms are the friendliness and the prices. I wonder why the owner reacts like this?

The restaurant is nice, BUT expensive for these dishes. I have tried many Persian restaurants in Germany and there is always a free starter (Persian bread, cheese, onions and some vegetables), but not in this one. In Persian restaurants there is always rice with saffron and a small packet of butter, but not in this restaurant. The meat was ok but the chicken was dry and burnt. Honestly, I think you're just paying for the fancy place there, not the quality of the food. 10€ for a small salad?? As a Persian who eats Persian food every day and has tried more than 20 Persian restaurants in Germany, this is the end of the list. It was nice to try it once, but we won't go there again. Some of the staff are very friendly and some are really unfriendly, for example the cashier was very unfriendly on the phone and in person. No parking, and if you are lucky and find a parking space on the street you have to PAY €5 FOR 30 MINUTES. Not recommendable.

Hands down the most friendly staff. You will feel at home

As always, a wonderful stay with incredibly delicious food, good service and a great atmosphere! Always my pleasure!

Good Resturant in a good location . but a little bit expensive.

As always, the visit to Shiraz was an experience. The food is great, the service is quick and courteous and you can only feel comfortable in this ambience.

Friendly restaurant with traditional decoration. Very nice and attentive staff. The kitchen was completely convincing with its dishes and if I put the size of the dishes in proportion, the prices are ok Gladly again

My excellent experience from two years ago repeated, delicious Persian food, brilliant use of spices, nuts and fruits in the dishes.

*OVERRATED* everything was very average, portions are small for Persian dishes. Rice is not enough. No music. No complimentary Sabzi or bread. Kebab was not fresh. And NO BUTTER for the rice. I’m still hungry btw

OVERRATED: The experience was disappointing. The food was very average, and the portions were small for Persian dishes. The rice servings were inadequate, and there was no music to enhance the ambiance. Additionally, there was no complimentary Sabzi or bread provided.

Adventure eating Persian, since I've unfortunately never been there before, I can't judge the quality, but since there were a lot of Persians there as guests... I think it's good :-) Just try something out. We sat on the terrace and noticed little of the interior.

Very tasty buffet. One star deducted for the temperature of the food being a little too low.

We had a very nice stay on the outside terrace today. The lunch buffet was varied and very tasty. The service was excellent and friendly. At the end, our son was even served a dessert plate with a sparkler because it was his birthday. We have been there for the third time since October and the quality is always high. We recommend!

Very tasty food, great service. Happy to come back :)

Unfortunately the buffet has nothing to do with Persian food at all. Unfortunately, if you want to go out for authentic Persian food, you've come to the wrong place. The waiter was very nice, but it is completely inappropriate to address a guest as brother

Incredibly great ambience, friendly service and great cuisine!

Unfortunately very overpriced for an “OK” dish. Nothing special.
