    Lamb and steak skewer with rice

    I got the lamb and steak skewer here and it was amazing. The meat was well marinated and perfectly cooked (tender and juicy). The service was extremely friendly and the portions were pretty big. Slightly on the expensive side but it's Stockholm.

    Ok food but way too small portions. Four measly pieces of meat in a stew and they forgot our naan breads. Wouldn´t recommend this place.

    This is my first time in Sweden and first time away from home during the holidays. I visited this…read morerestaurant today because I saw it on a list of best places to have Christmas dinner in Stockholm. The article said I would have a traditional Swedish Christmas dinner here, but the menu only had Persian options. Initially when I walked in the host's greeting was a little off but I figured she must be tired. After I was seated, I took my time looking through the menu. Another woman came and took my order (didn't not seem to friendly, but I shrugged it off). The food came out about 5 mins after I placed my order, I thought that was very quickS now my review is more so for the service and not the food. The food was okay, I've had better Persian food, but the service was absolutely unacceptable. I finished eating and waited for the waitress to come check on my and provide me with the dessert menu. Not once did she check on me while I was eating. I made several eye contact with her after I finished eating and she never came to my table. There were other White customers who came in after me and I noticed she was more attentive to them. 30 minutes went by after I finished eating and at this time I've made eye contact with her at least 20 times. She walked up to a table of White customers after me and spoke to them then left. Then she walked right back to the table and provided them with a dessert menu and cleared their table. Still I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt. 10 minutes passed by and I decided this place isn't worth giving anymore of my time and money to if this is how they treat Black customers. So as I gathered my belongings and walked down to pay and waiter hurried up and rang me up. He didn't ask me how was the meal or if everything was okay, nothing! He just asked if I'd like my receipt. Not even a Merry Christmas! And the waitress just walked passed me. What's worse is I am middle eastern and I know had I showcased that they would have treated me better. I am not sure if this restaurant isn't used to Black customers, but I definitely do not recommend this establishment for any person of color. As my time I'm Sweden has been great so far, so I won't let this experience ruin the entire trip. Overall for the low quality of the food, especially the lamb and the prejudice I have encountered, this place is not worth it! Stay away Black and brown people! One is for the ambiance.

    Small portions along with food served cold. Not sure if there has been a change in the ownership…read morein recent months or not! We were told this was one of the best Persian restaurants in town but regretfully it was far from it.

    This is a wonderful restaurant which is my favorite place for dinner in Södermalm. I went twice…read morewith friends so I had the opportunity to sample quite a few different menu items. The best main entree is the whole trout which is spiced differently and brilliantly from anything I have tried elsewhere. The eggplant dishes are tasty and healthy, while my favorite drink is doogh--no alcohol and contains yogurt. I was also delighted with saffron ice cream for dessert. The entire staff is attentive and go out of their way to be helpful. If I lived nearby I would go a few times each month.

    This place is unique and unlike any Persian restaurant we have tried previously. The quality was…read moregood and ingredients presented well. The one dish we would NOT get again is the olives because the sauce is too sweet and too much in quantity, all that you can really taste is the balsamic dressing/sauce that accompanies the olives. Service was ok except for one waiter (pictured from the side in tan pants/shirt who seemed to Hoffer over our table to the point of annoyance.) . Our main server was good. The restaurant was busy but food arrived fairly quickly. The noise level from other patrons was a bit much and not conducive to a relaxing meal. Overall we liked our meal but would likely not return again given another similar choice of cuisine, in our opinion better (in every way) just down the block.
