Zarathustra in Frankfurt am Main

It has very delicious food and a very relaxed environment. The service is timely, attentive and friendly.

The waiter was super friendly and nice. Their food is actually really good and the portion is huge. It comes with a side salad and rice. Highly recommended

Very good food, I was pleasantly surprised. I'd be happy to come back.

Great food with lots of flavor. The dishes are beautifully presented. The quality is good. There's a wide variety of flavors. The service is very friendly and attentive. The value for money is good. Reservations are recommended for evenings and weekends.

A very cozy restaurant. Sultani was perfect.

I went to this restaurant with my friends today; everything was great. And the service was very friendly.

The platter for 3 was very filling and delicious.

Too much advertising, but unfortunately, the reality is quite different. The owner isn't nearly as welcoming as the ads portray—no greeting, no attention, you practically have to hunt for the staff. The food was also disappointing and not particularly good quality. Definitely not a recommendation; I won't be going there again.

The food was delicious! I'd come back next time.

Come and see what a great experience you had The chef's menu was excellent And their waiters are very polite and treat us customers with respect and courtesy

Very tasty food, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.

Food was very tasty, staff super friendly

The owner is currently advertising that food and drinks are free on Mondays for certain first names. When we were there, he told us we could only choose one specific meal, and not, as he said, "food and drinks on my restaurant." If you're there with your family, you're forced to order food.

We come here often, but the last time we visited, the service wasn't as good as usual. The food is always good, and the value for money is very good. We sat outside, so that may have affected the quality of service.

A true culinary experience in the heart of Frankfurt! 🇮🇷 This Iranian restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine with intense flavors and freshly prepared dishes. The grilled skewers and traditional stews are especially recommended. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Anyone seeking Persian hospitality and a truly oriental taste experience should definitely stop by here. An insider tip for all food lovers!

The food here was excellent, the environment itself is very pleasant and the staff are just nice

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Everything was top-notch!

The food was phenomenal. Highly recommended.

Great food, friendly staff! I'm totally happy with my experience.

After a long time I had a great time. Delicious food and friendly staff.

Very good atmosphere. We experienced a good feeling for a moment, a lovely atmosphere. Suitable for gatherings. The food tastes great and delicious. Those who are hungry should visit here.

It was so delicious, wow! I'll definitely be back inshallah. I'm thrilled. Much better than the Turkish one 😆 Juicy!

The atmosphere in the restaurant was friendly, the staff polite and the food very tasty and high quality.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommended!

The dishes are very delicious and generously sized. The staff is friendly, attentive, and well-presented. The restaurant and bathroom are exceptionally clean and stylish. This was my second time dining here, and I appreciated that they asked friendly about the food and service at the end.

Very delicious food with good service. Definetely coming again. Thanks 🙏

Nice staff, tasted very delicious…I would definitely come back

Really nice Persian food. Was visiting Frankfurt for couple of days and tried Koobideh which was so tasty.

This is the most delicious Persian food I've ever had. I was amazed by the deliciousness with every bite. The price is a bit steep for a student, but I was truly satisfied with one meal.

I would like to complain about my visit to your restaurant on [insert date]. I went to eat with friends, but unfortunately, our experience was anything but satisfactory. First of all, the staff – especially one female staff member – were very unfriendly. She repeatedly looked at my companion rudely and made us feel unwelcome. The advice and service were also very unpleasant: • They repeatedly tried to push a more expensive wine on us, even though I had specifically ordered the Riesling I wanted. • They also tried to force-feed us an appetizer, even though we clearly stated that we didn't want one. Furthermore, the food was not of the expected quality. It was neither tasty nor digestible – by the end of the evening, both my companion and I had severe stomach aches. Overall, the visit was a complete disappointment for us and anything but a pleasant experience. I sincerely hope that you take this feedback seriously and take appropriate measures so that future guests don't have to go through the same experience.

I don't understand the positive reviews! To my taste, and I'm a foodie who ate in restaurants all over the world; the meat and chicken had a funny smell and taste!! Other than that the appetizer and the rice were really good, but it can't outweigh the bad meat unfortunately

The barg kebab and chicken kebab were tough. The portion of dill rice with broad beans was small for one person. The sour kebab was also tough. Overall, the quality of the kebabs was low.

The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻The service was professional and very friendly. The ambiance is OK (nice, but a renovation or modernization would be good).

The best Iranian restaurant in Europe, even better than Iranian restaurants in Kuwait. I am one of the people who love Iranian food. Today I have come to love Frankfurt because of the presence of this restaurant. The food is delicious. The staff are friendly, respectful, and cooperative. I highly recommend it. It is a more than wonderful restaurant.

Delicious Iranian food in Frankfurt with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. The only downside was the long preparation time – it took about one hour for our food to be served.

It was truly delicious; we thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers, soup, and main course. We'd gladly return.

Everything is great, you're welcome 🥰

Overall, the best Persian restaurant I've ever been to, anywhere in the world. I'm Persian myself so take it as high praise, this place is highly recommended. - food: was great. The portions are generous and worth the price, the food was spiced perfectly, prepared and cooked perfectly, had the appropriate side, and I personally could not find a single issue with it. - dessert: really nice selection, amazing baklava and icecream. - drinks: really good selection, very delicious. Good alcoholic and non-alcoholic selection. - staff: incredibly nice and polite, so helpful with translating the german bits of the menu and so on. - atmosphere: the decorations are gorgeous, the environment is clean and well kept, there's soft persian music in the background at a very appropriate volume. Overall very friendly and cozy. Highly recommended. Can't stress it enough.

Update: We went there again, and it was outstanding! The chef's plate was super delicious, and this time they served it with a sauce to make it less dry. We were absolutely thrilled!

A touch expensive - however great food. The koobideh is great while the other kebab with it was not that good.

We had a fantastic meal at Zarathustra. Delicious food, amazing portions, fantastic staff. Would highly recommend.

A lovely Persian restaurant with good food. We had a very pleasant evening there and were able to sit outside in the beautiful weather. The service was excellent, and the food arrived quickly. ;)

Great food, extremely respectful customer service, and a pleasant atmosphere!

Food was great. Portions were huge. My teenager and I could have easily split any of the two kebab platters. The kebabs were the length of my forearm. Chicken and beef kebabs were both flavorful and moist, but the chicken was the star.

Thanks for the service and delicious food

The dishes are very good and the atmosphere is excellent

Excellent, I recommend it, the dishes are very good and the atmosphere is incredible.

You're greeted with a very friendly and welcoming welcome. The restaurant itself is very aesthetically pleasing and beautifully designed. The atmosphere is great, including the music and service. The food tastes very good. Very large portions and very reasonably priced. You can also customize it. I highly recommend it and will continue to come here.

Large portions, friendly staff, authentic Persian

It tasted very good. Service was good. Friendly staff.

amazing food with the true taste of Persian cuisine. loved it

It's delicious! The atmosphere is also great, and the staff are so friendly and quick.

Very tasty food and friendly service

As always, simply amazing. Arman served us very well and kindly. His food recommendation was perfect. We'd be happy to come back!

Very friendly and respectful staff, very clean

I was here recently. Honestly, they serve exactly what they serve in Iran. I ordered koobide, and it transported me to the world of Tehran for a few minutes. The staff was very polite and engaging, and the food was perfect. I highly recommend it. They also offer delicious Persian ice cream.

Very tasty food and very friendly service.

The food took a lot to come, while It had a lot oíl. The worst Happened when i wanted to pay with card, the person reacted quite aggressively pointing to a paper at the Door, saying that card payments were allowed only after 55 eur! When my plate was 16 eur. When I asked for the reason for such a high limit, he mentioned that it was the city guidance (which has nothing to do). Quite bad attitude in my opinion.

We were in Zarathustra for the first time and were thrilled, one of the best Persian restaurants we have ever visited

The food is super delicious and very authentic (: The service was really friendly and the place has a great vibe. Highly recommended. Sepass and be omid-e-didar

We were completely satisfied! The food was truly delicious—freshly prepared and full of flavor. The service was exceptionally fast, and the entire staff was very friendly and attentive. You immediately feel welcome. Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back! Be sure to try it yourself!

Huge portions will leave you full and happy! The food was well marinated, meat was tinder and had rich flavour. The staff were friendly and also fast service

The quality of the leaf kebab was excellent. It was a very good experience, the restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful.

Disaster, extremely bad staff behavior, really poor quality food. I am deeply sorry.

We ordered "Journey to the Orient" for two people. The appetizer platter was extremely delicious. The main course platter was equally delicious, and a mixed dessert platter with saffron ice cream and glass noodle ice cream...plus a bottle of white wine...great service included. Truly a great experience.

Delight in oriental cuisine! This restaurant captivated us from the first minute - they serve not just large, but truly generous portions of delicious dishes. We especially remember the aromatic tea, which perfectly complements the meal. The service is top notch - attentive, but unobtrusive. The quality of the food and service fully justifies the highest rating. 10/10 - without hesitation! We have already recommended it to all our friends and will definitely come back ourselves.

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and offers a variety of dishes to choose from. The food tastes great, both the meat and chicken were flavorful, juicy, and tender. This was my second visit after a few years, and I was genuinely impressed this time. It’s clear they’ve put effort into improving their quality, and because of that, I’ll definitely be coming back more often. The staff are polite, very helpful, and surprisingly fast, whether it’s taking your order or serving your food, everything moves efficiently. One highlight for me was their homemade Doogh (a traditional yogurt drink with herbs, ice, and water); the taste was truly refreshing and well-balanced. They do offer some outdoor seating, though it’s limited to a few tables on the sidewalk, they don’t have a garden area. If you’re interested in trying Iranian cuisine, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

Simply a top-notch experience! The staff member, Irfan, did everything perfectly! Very knowledgeable! He recommended everything to us, and every dish was incredibly delicious.

The food was really excellent and authentic ! The service was also really great and pleasing ! I really recommend this restaurant for people liking Persian food :)

The food was enjoyable and represented the country pretty well

The food was wonderful. We were only dissatisfied with the payment and service. Unfortunately, I can't pay with Mastercard. Better to let them know by phone.

The best Persian restaurant far and wide!

So good! Such good service and such good food!! Go here. You will not regret.

Great quality food and good portion size.

Great food, lovely staff, all round wonderful experience

We visited on a Saturday evening and were lucky to get a table, as the restaurant was quite full. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with guests enjoying their meals and conversations, creating a very pleasant vibe. The service was very friendly, polite, and attentive throughout the evening, without being intrusive. The food was excellent. We started with Dolmeh-Barg (stuffed grape leaves), which were fresh and full of flavor. For the main dishes, we had Djudje Kabab (chicken, marinated in a saffron-yogurt sauce) grilled to perfection, with a rich walnut-pomegranate sauce, and Baghali Polo Ba Morgh, with its aromatic dill-saffron rice and juicy chicken, served in its own flavorful sauce. Both rice sides were perfectly cooked and flavorful and the sauces were particularly delicious. The portions were generous, as you can see on the plates. Even though we were already quite full, we didn’t want to miss out on the persian ice cream, so we shared a Bastani Akbar Maschti. Definitely a great choice. It was our first time trying this combination of vanilla, saffron, pistachios and rose water and we absolutely loved it. We also enjoyed traditional teas (Chai Nana and Chai Samawar). Overall, we were very satisfied with both the flavors and the portion sizes. We had a lovely dinner and would happily return.

Service was quick Food was delicious

Today was our first time at Zarathustra in Frankfurt. Unfortunately, the grilled meat was very disappointing. The grilled chicken breast was tasteless. The grilled minced veal wasn't cooked well and left an unpleasant aftertaste. The lamb loin fillet tasted just as bad. The appetizers, such as the yogurt mixes, were very good. Torschi, on the other hand (vegetables marinated in vinegar), was absolutely poorly prepared. The color and taste weren't even like store-bought jars. Overall, I have to give it 1 star. The 4.8 rating on Google sounds very dubious to me. We won't try it again.

Indescribably BEAUTIFUL! Such a lovely atmosphere! Such wonderful hospitality!!!!! ON TOP 🫵🏼

The best food ever just go and enjoy, very offerable

Very good food, great service, authentic ambience, we felt comfortable

We visited this restaurant for the first time today, as we usually eat at his brother's restaurant. Unfortunately, the difference was noticeable in both the service and the food. The atmosphere was very cold. Particularly unpleasant was a young employee who went outside several times to smoke and then immediately returned to serving guests without washing his hands. I briefly considered confronting him about it, but decided I'd stick it out, but it was still an absolute no-go for me. The food also disappointed me. The dogh was completely tasteless, and overall, I couldn't enjoy my meal at all. His brother's restaurant often offers a small appetizer like ash or soup, and after the meal, tea or halva is offered—unfortunately, nothing here. It was okay for a one-time visit, but we definitely won't be coming back. It's a shame, because we had expected much more based on our good experiences at the other restaurant, especially since Mr. Pouria has been advertising this branch a lot on Instagram. It's a real shame.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff, music 🎶 unfortunately much too loud.

One of the best Iranian food in frankfurt!!!

Very nice atmosphere with good food. The value for money was great.

Very nice shop. Owners are very friendly and the food is quality!

Great food! Great location! Always happy to come back

Superb every time. It's the only Persian restaurant I've been to that offers Kabab Torsch, made with pomegranate sauce. The flavour is great but the intensity builds up in your mouth, so it's best to avoid eating a whole one by yourself. I love it anyway!

Delicious Persian food. Lots of good vegetarian options, clearly labeled. Would’ve given 5 stars but the server didn’t check on us much or ever ask if we wanted more to drink, etc. Overall great experience and food though. Portions are huge!

Delicious Persian food with good portion sizes! Aragh Sagi was a nice suggestion, Danke 😁😋🤩

The food is outstanding, the service incredibly friendly, and I especially recommend the Djudje Soltani with its delicious Dough (Persian ayran with mint) as a drink. Bread and a small appetizer plate were on the house. Absolutely fantastic value for money! Highly recommended if you're in Frankfurt 💕

We ordered four dishes. The chicken kebab was really good, tender meat and very delicious. The kashke bademjan and rice also had a nice taste. However, I wasn’t satisfied with the eggplant and split pea stew (gheimeh bademjan). The meat was tough and seemed either not fresh or maybe from an old cow. There was only a tinyyyy piece of eggplant in it, mostly just seeds. The stew could have had better seasoning, maybe some cinnamon and a touch of cardamom. My friend ordered ratatouille. The potatoes were undercooked, and she said the whole dish tasted like pasta (better seasoning). I told the waiter, and they did take note of it. But anyway we paid for the food. Also, the plates looked very worn out, with faded colors. Out of respect for the customers, I think it’s time to replace them.

We ate there spontaneously and received a friendly welcome. The food was delicious, served quickly, and the service was excellent.

Super delicious food. The best Persian restaurant in Frankfurt. Prices are reasonable too. Note: For meat eaters, definitely try "Kebab Barg."

Been there for the second time, service wasn't good. Food was brought and no bon appetit was desired. No thanks and goodbye wanted when paying. Very disappointed with the service, never going there again, very rude communication..

Tasted very tasty and recommended for everyone

Good morning, I had an exceptional lunch experience here. The staff was very friendly and respectful. I highly recommend this place! If I come back to Frankfurt, I will definitely stay there again.

I came from Strasbourg to Frankfurt and came to this restaurant for lunch. The dishes here were of excellent quality. The ambiance of the restaurant was very warm and pleasant, and I really enjoyed my meal.

Great staff and awesome atmosphere. The food tastes amazing

Everything was perfect, I recommend it
