Iran Zamin

Yesterday we enjoyed an exceptional dining experience at Iran Zamin Restaurant in the downtown area. The Iranian grilled meats were superb, featuring perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful kebabs. The spice blends were expertly balanced, and the meat was demonstrably fresh and juicy. Accompanying rice, bread, and pickles enhanced the authentic culinary presentation, contributing to a highly satisfying meal. The service was both friendly and efficient, ensuring our needs were met promptly. The restaurant's ambiance was inviting and conducive to a relaxed dining experience. The generous portions provided ample satisfaction. We highly recommend Iran Zamin Restaurant for those seeking authentic Iranian cuisine.

We reserved the buffet for Iftar, drawn in by the extensive Instagram advertising from the owner. Having followed them from New York to Dubai, we were excited to try their food. Our reservation was at 7:30 PM, but the buffet had been set up since around 6:30 PM. Unfortunately, by the time we started eating, everything—including the kebabs, rice, and other dishes—was cold. Since we had already committed to the buffet, there was no turning back. The food itself was not flavorful, possibly due to it being cold. As an Iranian who has experienced Persian cuisine in Iran, Dubai, and the U.S., I can confidently say that this restaurant’s food did not meet expectations. While their Instagram marketing is excellent, the actual dining experience fell far short. That said, the manager was fantastic—extremely kind and attentive. He checked in on us, acknowledged the issue, and even offered to bring fresh food from the kitchen. Since we wanted to try all the kebabs, we initially declined, but he insisted and later brought desserts to our table as a gesture of goodwill. Both he and the servers were incredibly polite and professional, and we truly appreciated their hospitality. Unfortunately, the desserts were disappointing as well. However, the tea was hot, flavorful, and enjoyable, which ended the meal on a slightly better note. Overall, while the service was excellent, the food quality did not live up to the hype. P.s. we got disappointed as no THDIG was served but in advertisements we saw the owner eating it in Iftar feast.

I recently visited Iran Zamin in Dubai after seeing it on social media, and I’m glad I did. It was my first time trying the Gamaj Kebab, and the experience was a deep dive into authentic Iranian cuisine. From the moment I arrived, the restaurant didn’t disappoint. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made to order—a true testament to traditional Persian cooking. The Gamaj Kebab was tender, well-seasoned, and grilled to perfection, offering a rich taste that stood out. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re familiar with Iranian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Iran Zamin is a must-visit spot in Dubai. Highly recommended!

I am a fan of Iranian food, this Iran Zamin in downtown and the one in Marina has a good food and great service . I like they own lamb dish with rice … I am choosing this place for particularly this dish Only thing - in winter time I wish they had heaters or blankets

We discovered the place by chance, as we were initially heading to a different restaurant. However, we decided to change the plan and taste the flavors of Iran 🇮🇷 That was a very wise decision, as the food here is simply delicious. Best falafel we ever had! Same goes with the egg plant spread - Eggplant Mutabal (Baba Ganoush known for most)! Mind that the portions are quite big, so come in with an appetite. Even though we did, still felt like it’s quite a lot food! Tip for restaurant staff: when refilling back your cutlery boxes/trays, be mindful that it can be quite loud for your guests. 😉

We had a great dinner at Iran Zamin’s downtown location. The koobideh and boneless chicken were outstanding—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Both were an easy 10/10. For appetizers, we had Ash, which had a nostalgic, homemade taste—rich and comforting, definitely a 9/10. The zeytoon parvarde was a bit too sour for our taste and could use more walnuts and a touch of sweet pomegranate paste to balance the flavors. The mast khiar was refreshing and well-made, earning a 9/10. We also tried the gheymeh sibzamini, which had a delicious, homemade taste. The flavors were spot on, though it could have been even better with a bit more depth—still a solid 8/10. Overall, the restaurant has a great location and atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying Persian meal. Highly recommend!

Very nice service. Delicious food. I recommend the lamb ribs.

Iran Zamin is a great option for delicious Iranian food! The food is definitely worth trying, but be prepared for higher prices. The service is good and the location on the boulevard is convenient.
