Restaurant Tehran - Geneva center

Not authentic Persian cuisine at all. Disappointing. This place calls itself an Iranian restaurant, but the food has nothing to do with authentic Persian flavors. Most of the spices and seasoning used were far more similar to Indian cuisine — and not in a good fusion way, just confusing. The minced meat skewer was completely dry, the chicken tasted nothing like Persian-style grilled chicken, and the appetizers were bland and unrecognizable. The bread was honestly one of the worst I’ve ever had in any restaurant claiming to be Middle Eastern. When we asked whether the chef was actually Iranian, we were told he was Indian. That explains a lot. The restaurant is located between two Indian places — we suspect they may even share the same kitchen. To call this “authentic Iranian food” is misleading at best. If you’re looking for true Persian flavors, this is definitely not the place.

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! We tried the kashk-e bademjan, hummus, Shirazi salad, kebab, and chicken — everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Even the tea was delightful and perfectly complemented the meal. Highly recommended!

I’ve visited many Persian restaurants across Europe, and unfortunately, I would rank this one as the second worst—just after Persian Restaurant in Bratislava. The Koobideh kebab lacked uniformity and texture; instead of being tender and cohesive, it broke apart and splattered. The Ghormeh Sabzi was also disappointing, it had a yellowish color instead of the deep green expected, with an overpowering turmeric flavor. The atmosphere didn't help either. It was noisy, with staff speaking loudly, and there was an unpleasant, chemical-like smell—similar to bleach—which made the experience uncomfortable. I truly hope more people get to experience authentic Persian cuisine, or that this restaurant takes steps to improve and better reflect the rich flavors and ambiance of real Persian food.

We were seated in a small table in very tight space, although the restaurant was half empty. The food was good and the bread was fresh. And it is Halal 😋 I'm will come back EnshaAllah.

The food is excellent, not only authentic but its top notch. The quality of the food is excellent, I had chicken and a colleague of mine had grilled kebab and the other had lentil’s. Initially the chicken came a bit cold, I spoke with the waitress who was very apologetic and instead of simply heating it, it was changed to warm dish! On top of that we received a complementary sweet! The place is very popular. Very crowded for a reason!! Its really really good. So I advise you to book ahead of time.
