We ended up with plenty of food and couldn't quite finish it all. The tabouli didn't have quite as much parsley as I'm used to, however, all the ingredients were fresh and it was well presented. The sampler included four kabobs - one chicken, one lamb, and two ground lamb along with some grilled tomatoes and pita bread. Each kabob was grilled perfectly. As for the mint tea, we loved how it included tons of fresh mint. Service was solid, although a bit slow and they did initially forget my beer. The place is extremely clean and prices were reasonable given the portions. They also have wifi and accept card. I would consider going back on a future Berlin visit.

Tucked somewhat outside the bar and restaurant district of Schöneberg but nevertheless close,…read moreaffordable and good enough to be visited especially when in cravings of basmati rice or Persian cuisine is this little restaurant called Shayan. Usually Kebabs are the best way of judging a Persian restaurant as terms such as "fall of the bone tender" or "melt in mouth tender" are synonymous with the Persian style of charcoal BBQ. Having said this it is also important to mention that kebabs are "special occasion foods" and as such perhaps not the best indicator or presentation of what the day-to-day home style Persian cuisine is all about. Sadly not much of a buzz can be made out of the Shayan's kebabs as they only happen to be OK meaning juicy and tender but not melt in mouth or fall of the bone tender. What is however vibrating at Shayan are the casseroles/stews. Among the slow(er) cook dishes, in fact more day-to-day and home style Persian cuisine, a definite gem is the walnut pomegranate lamb casserole. A dish made at Shayan with great depth as well as sweet and sour balance. Another great dish, however only if you into okra, is the okra stew that can also be served as a vegetarian option. Another well balanced dish, in terms of sweet vs sour, to gather around is the spinach and plum lamb stew. In summery I must admit the most memorable thing about Shayan, in my opinion, is their knowledge of how to make well-balanced sweet and sour dishes that are not very common on all other Persian restaurants menu.

Bringing a big suitcase I was thankful to be seated near the door so I could stow my luggage in a corner. The decor is contemporary, stylish without stealing the show, and there's enough room between tables that one can get around without bothering other guests. The service is competent and the waiter who greeted me made me feel welcome. The menu has plenty of choice without being ridiculously long; As I like tasting different foods I opted for a selection of three stews, served with rice and a salad. I found them all to my liking, although not particularly memorable. All in all I would not go across town to dine at Hafis, but if at some other time I'm getting off the bus in time for dinner I'm not unlikely to go there again.
