Coup D'etat

This place is amazing. I’ve been to many Persian restaurants all over the planet and this one is above and beyond. The kabab dish is amazing. So are the appetizers and the cocktails. It’s a must go!

I had a really nice experience at this restaurant. The food was better than average—not quite perfect, but still tasty and satisfying. What really stood out was the beautiful interior design and the excellent service. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our meal. However, one small thing took us by surprise: while we were still eating and chatting, a waiter cleared away a small amount of food that was left on the table. It felt a bit rushed and interrupted the moment.

I travel often, dine widely, and write reviews with fairness—always considering price, taste, authenticity, service, and atmosphere. My experience at Coup d’État in Stockholm was mixed. We ordered the Tahdig Zone (175 SEK), which was described as a dish to share. What arrived were two very small pieces of tahdig with only about 1.5 spoonfuls each of two stews—hardly enough for one person, let alone to share. The flavours were not authentic, and the presentation, while visually nostalgic, raised a health concern as the tahdig was served directly on black-ink-printed newspaper-style paper, which is not food-safe and potentially toxic. Portions in general were small compared to other Persian restaurants, especially given the prices, which I found to be unreasonably high for what was offered. The lamb stew had a strong scent that might have been better managed with traditional spices—though perhaps those are harder to find in Sweden, and I do understand the limitations. The koobideh, however, was very good and the highlight of the meal—well-seasoned and tasty. On the other hand, the grilled chicken had a noticeable red meat smell, likely due to shared grilling surfaces for chicken and beef, which can be problematic for dietary or religious reasons. There was also a misadvertisement: the menu promised mast-o-moosir (yogurt with Persian shallot), but we received mast-o-khiar (yogurt with cucumber), which is not the same. The ambiance was lovely—very well designed with creative touches like a small cinema, selfie-friendly décor, and beautifully set tables. Two people served our table; one was incredibly kind and helpful, the other was indifferent. Initially, I was going to give 2 stars due to the food and pricing issues. However, the owner approached us, kindly listened to all my feedback, and was very open and receptive rather than defensive—something I really appreciated. He assured me that he cares deeply about his business and takes constructive criticism seriously. Because of his attitude and willingness to improve, I’ve decided to give 4 stars instead of 2. I left with the sense that this restaurant has potential and a team that truly wants to grow.

Michelin level food with one of the best iranian foods I have had especially in Sweden. The restaurant has many beautiful iranian art and has a cool menu and nice pieces of Tupperware especially for the mast oh musir. The owner made all the artwork and is super talented. Must try place in stockholm especially if you are iranain. Also the exterior is beautiful and downstairs there is a bar with a credit card roulette. One of my favorite parts is the movie theater with classic iranian movies playing.

During my recent visit to Coup D'etat, I had an absolutely wonderful experience that I'm truly grateful for. The food was not only delicious, but every bite seemed to be crafted with care. The service felt warm and inviting, making me feel right at home, and the atmosphere was so comfortable that it was hard to leave. I can wholeheartedly recommend this lovely spot to anyone seeking a delightful meal in Stockholm. A special thank you to Arman and Hadi for their friendly and professional service; they really made my visit memorable.
