Great quality and authentic Persian food. Service was friendly and reasonably efficient. One area to consider improving would be to simplify / redesign the menu structure.

Food is awesome, we had a platter of everything and i must say they are perfect (not too dry). the highlight was the starter, soup and OMG the lamb chop is amazing. Perhaps if we decide not to dine indoor - it will be rated 6 (as there was a event on the same evening - abit loud). Service team was prompt and Chef Ying took care of us thru out the evening. She explained the food to us as it was served - nicely done and timed. Wont hesitate to dine there again - for sure !! Thanks Shabestan!!

The food was nice but we got a shock when we received the bill ...the platter we asked for was only shown in the menu but no pricing against it....and we ended paying more than SGD 600 ...am sure can find better priced places elsewhere. I would not go again

Excellent food, services and ambience. Expect to pay about $80 per person. The meats were grilled to perfection and the desserts are heavenly. Must try at least once to experience the richness of Persian cuisines.

This is my second time at this restaurant. I loved the food, close to the real thing I must say. The hummus and ee-jow soup are my fav. So was the dough. It didn't get the 6 that I would've given is because of the service. Not that it was severely lacking but I would've expected them to be more attentive to the diners since there weren't many of us. It took a while to get their attention. We had lunch past 1.45pm on a Sunday, not exactly rush hour.

Great food and ambience. The pot bellied belly dancer who could barely dance seemed to be making a mockery of the dance. That was the only let down.. but we came for food and cant complain.

Food was mediocre given the price that was being charged for it. We've had better middle eastern food elsewhere. Condiments such as dips & sauces need improvement.

Overall, the meal was delicious. The meat dishes are a tad expensive but servings are fairly generous so we ended up taking the leftovers home.. My vote goes to the lamb kebabs (the ones made with minced lamb) - very well marinated and tasty! The only downside was the sudden interruption of the meal with the too-loud music that accompanied the belly-dancing performance.

Food was very tasty and well presented - ideal for a group with the grilled meat selection - makes a change from the usual bland middle eastern fare served up in Arab Street - service a bit slow though.

Got my table without a problem. Food came fast. They've redone the menu recently, and the pictures are gorgeous. The food was fantastic, the minced lamb kebabs especially. Nice riverside view and breeze. Price is a little steep.
