Shabestan Restaurant

The atmosphere is wonderful and the view is breathtaking. The food is good, but not exceptional (in my personal opinion). The hospitality and service are excellent, but the prices are very high. The restaurant is extremely noisy; I didn't enjoy the food because of the loud music. I hope this will be taken into consideration. Note: They offer a special discount for Esaad card holders.

Absolutely beautiful experience! The food is authentic Iranian, masterfully made by chef Shiraz (third generation running the restaurant!). The view of the Creek and Old Dubai is incomparable. The restaurant different sections both open and closed that allow you to have a unique experience for different occasions and the decor is elegant and traditional. The food is great and here is a good indication for that: besides us, every customer in the restaurant was local! And to close with a flourish delicious Iranian sweets and tea! A big round of applause for the live musician who also helped to make it an unforgettable evening! Five stars to manager Sahar and chef Shiraz for their thoughtful preparation and friendly welcome and interaction with my guests!

Baghalah Polo Ba-Mahichch, tahchin, and greek salad were very nice. Lamb was sooooooo soft. For tahchin, I love the cranberry to make the menu completely amazing. Greek salad was so fresh and feta tastes good and creamy.

It is a must visit, family friendly restaurant for authentic, rich and flavourful persian food, with amazing service and beautiful live music. Absolutely delicious food we want to go back again for. this 40 year old restaurant has the most comforting vibes with their staff that put you at ease instantly and some of the staff have been there since almost the opening. Anis, Emily and Kareem were amazing. And we got to chat with the musician as well. Its like visting a friend’s home and having amazing authentic food. We had khubideh which was my favorite, lambchops,barge morg and khase bademjan. For dessert we had the faloodeh and persian icecream. We cannot wait to visit again .

Delicious, masterfully prepared food, excellent service, a very cozy atmosphere, and decent prices. Our host Elias was polite, helpful, very caring, and showed us great hospitality.

I was invited to a business dinner here and can tell that the service here is top-notch! The location of the restaurant is amazing as well! I can’t comment much about price/quality but the food could be a bit better, especially the mixed grill.

I had a wonderful evening at Shabestan Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — perfectly grilled kebabs, fragrant saffron rice, and refreshing yogurt with cucumber. Everything was served with attention to detail and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, with traditional Persian decor that adds to the cultural charm. I really appreciated the live music and cozy ambiance — it made the dinner feel extra special. Their tea and dessert platter at the end were the perfect finish to the meal. Service was excellent from start to finish — polite, welcoming, and attentive. Definitely worth the Michelin recognition proudly displayed at the entrance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience high-quality Persian cuisine in a relaxing, refined setting.

Shabestan is one of the best & oldest Iranian restaurants in Dubai! I personally love this branch more than the other one (mostly because of the beautiful view🌊) It is our go-to spot for cozy family dinners. The service is always great, and I especially love how their bread is served fresh and crispy & the fact that they keep replacing it whenever it cools down (a critical part in enjoying iranian breads) Anis, one of the longest-serving waiters there, is incredibly respectful and accommodating! I highly recommend visiting with a big group & ordering the mixed grill; it’s the best way to try a bit of everything and enjoy the full experience! ALSO, don’t miss out on their black tea with mint; its the perfect way to end the meal 🤰☕️
