"Ich hole mir hier sehr gerne mein Essen ab und freue mich wirklich immer sehr drauf. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich, gerade wenn man in der Gegend wohnt lohnt es sich vorbei zu schauen. Mein Essen war schnell fertig, Abholung ist unkompliziert und es schmeckt jedes Mal genau so, wie ich mir das wünsche und ich werde sogar 2 mal satt von."

"Really good. Fair price and the food is fresh and newly made. The young cashier was very friendly. Very nice time with a friend to go in the evening and eat something nice. They also have traditional sweets and ice cream too."

"Ein so gutes Kashke Bademjan hab ich bislang nur einmal in Isfahan gefunden. Auch die verschiedenen Khoresht sind sehr lecker (kenne nur die veganen). Eine Portion der Hauptgerichte + Beilage reicht bei uns immer locker für ein Abendessen und das nächste Mittagessen. Bislang war die Lieferung immer sehr pünktlich oder sogar etwas früher als bestellt da."

"Über Lieferando ca. 45 min. vor Abholung bestellt, problemlose und pünktliche Abholung. Essen sehr lecker, mit einem riesigen Fladenbrot, was auch 2 Personen nicht schaffen. Fleisch sehr zart, leckere Soße, schön lockerer persischer Reis. Zu insgesamt akzeptablen Preisen."

"It is a new opening Iranian restaurant. I think it can be far better. The quality of the food is not bad but not the best fo this price. Also ghorme-sabzi is different from Iranian one. It is licated in nice neighborhood and eating food in its balcony is enjoyable."

"Sehr leckeres und selbstgekochtes Essen. Das dauert eben seine Zeit. Aber es lohnt sich zu warten. Es gibt eine täglich wechselnde Mittagskarte mit einem vegetarischen und einem Fleischgericht sowie einer Suppe. Das muss aber morgens bestellt werden. Einen Lieferdienst gibt es auch. Definitiv ein Besuch wert!"
