    #28 on the menu. Lamb shank. It was delicious, and fairly priced. During our 4 day stay in…read moreGothenburg, we went to this restaurant three times. It was recommended by a lovely local family that we met over by the Poseidon statue! They said it had great food at a reasonable price. So, we walked back over toward central station to enjoy the food three different times!

    Ordered: #18 - Chelo Kabab-e Vaziri (Koobideh & Joje) (259…read moreSEK): one grilled marinated minced lamb skewer & one grilled Zaffran marinated chicken skewer served with Zaffran rice Pepsi Max (29 SEK) Aya's take: I was in the mood for something that tasted good, mild in flavor, and would keep me full for a while. I'm a big fan of Persian food so I figured this can't disappoint. Service was super quick which was great since I was on a time crunch. The worker was also super kind and friendly. Now onto the food. The chicken skewer was not seasoned well and could have been cooked for another 1-2 minutes. You can tell it was coated with tons of yogurt and saffron making it tender and juicy but it lacked seasoning. The lamb skewer was buttery, juicy, and tender. That one was cooked well. I thought it was a bit weird they served the rice separate. I usually like when the juices from the cooked skewers seep into the rice adding more flavor. The tzaztziki sauce added a fresh layer to the meal too. Overall, it was pretty average considering other Persian restaurants I've dined in but for Sweden, I guess it's decent. FYI, they do not accept American Express.

    Fanous - Fanous Grill house (not restaurant)

    It baffles me that Göteborg, although having a large numbers of ethnic Persians living there for…read moredecades, doesn't have much to offer when it comes to good Iranian restaurants... So I just visited "Fanous Restaurant", a grill house only serving kabobs and dizi. So if you're looking for more traditional Persian dishes, this isn't the place. No Baghalee polo or zereshk polo here...They tricked me by charging 20 kr for the yoghurt and water mixture in the dispenser, and wrongfully calling it "doogh". That was NOT doogh and I did mentioned it but instead of giving me an honest answer, the owner made me pay. Woaw what a horrible service! However, my koobideh was heavenly: the meat was so delicious, it melted in my mouth. And because this is a grill house, the meat is top #1 priority. On the plate, I had a grilled tomato sliced in two halves, three leaves of parsley, a spoon of yoghurt sauce and two steaming koobidehs. Apart from iceberg salad, coleslaw, corn, slices of red onions, olives with dill and a horrible orange coloured dressing, the salad bar had the usual components, except for seer torshi (pickled garlic). That was delicious. There were two dispensers, one with water and the other was yoghurt mixed with water (not doogh). I later found out that there were also a soup included which The staf didn't informed me of. The rice wasn't good at all. The traditional seasoning for koobideh is a dark red to violet colored sour spice called Sumac. The Sumac in Fanous was grayish brown and didnt taste anything. So that was a huge minus. I can excuse the bad rice and the funky looking/tasting Sumac but tricking me to pay for something that was obviously NOT doogh is inexcusable. So my advice is to avoid this place. Avoid it at any cost!
