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.

This restaurant is delicious . The service was good but slow. But then again , it's in Sweden. I…read morefound mislabeled items on the menu , but it's not really a big problem. The decor is minimal and vintage. I came with family, so there isn't a place I would personally go out of my way. It's nice to see Persian food in Sweden , though.

Small little gem In Gothenburg, with great owned brewed beers! They have a good collection and the…read moreplace is really nice to hang out and have a drink or two. Their sour beer is really nice and also variety of beers they carry is fantastic! They have the place spread out in 3 rooms and it's pretty trendy and cozy. Highly recommended if you are a beer enthusiast and are looking for a quiet place to hang out. The owner is Iranian and is very welcoming! They have a beer named 3.5 mtrs which denotes the fact that it is actually brewed 3.5 mtrs away from the cash counter there!

I am in LOVE with this place. If I lived in Gothenburg, this would be my spot…read more I must say that you know a bar is going to be outstanding when you walk in and they have a huge sign that says they don't serve Heineken or Carlsberg. This place carries the best of the best in terms of beer. They even have an IPA from Gothenburg called Dugges High Five. 45 SEK for a small portion, but seriously a good beer. I didn't get to spend too much time in here as this was my first trip to Gothenburg, but when I head back, I will absolutely be making this my joint for the weekend.

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!

I visited this restaurant in January 2016 and it is now called "Sophia" and not aloonak…read more I had a soltani (which they call 'Makhsos' on the menu) with a small bottle of doogh from Abali. If I could I would give the doogh 5 stars without any hesitation. However the food was average and tasted very different from what I'm used to normaly eat. Also the portion is small for the price I paid. The Barg was juicy. But the koobideh was smaller compared to other Persian restaurants abroad. Also the taste was unusual. There was a clear taste of oregano. I'm not a huge fan of oregano, especially in Persian cuisine. It doesn't mix well. But I guess it's different strokes for different folks. Needless to say that traditionally, oregano is not included in the original recipe. The plate was also badly presented: the rice was thrown over the koobideh almost as if they intended to hide its small size. There were also slices of a tasteless discolored tomato, two low budget olives, three small slices of cucumber and some iceberg salad. And a tablespoon of funky tasting yoghurt.. It reminded me of the Indian Raita mixed with mastmoosir... You can imagine the rest! But the staff was very friendly. The doogh also made my day. But seriously, they should hire another chef.
