The restaurant was in a good location, and had great service in the riverside ambience and good range on the menu. We especially liked the lamb kebab, hummus, okra curry and pistachio ice cream.

Food is nice and good but very hard to call for service. The eyes of the waiters not always around. Better to improve the service.

Location is good and ambience pleasant, though the food is overpriced and the service quite inconsistent. We had a good time overall, though felt we overpaid for what we got.

When we arrived the staff were too busy, not that they were under-staffed but they are just not eager to receive guest. That surely needs to be improved. Nevertheless, food was awesome.

Authentic persian cuisine prepared at a mid-top tier class. Prices can be at the high-end, however quality is not compromised. Time will tell, but hopefully the restaurant will maintain that its value

Food quality has deteriorated. Humus was just okay. The Mixed Grill Platter (beef/ chicken) and Chicken Persian Rice both seemed slightly bland, especially the latter. Not as per previous experiences.

Loved the location, the atmosphere, the service, and the food, especially the chicken with bones dish. As tender as it gets. Also ask for tahdig (crispy rice).

The Sunday buffet is an interesting concept. The food is decent and service is generally good, but definitely would have preferred for a larger list of options and also for food to be served quicker.

The dinner with the family was to celebrate my Wife's birthday. Overall the location and ambiance were great. The food was outstanding. I am a vegetarian and found that they had enough choice for me :-) The staff were very attentive and even brought out a cake for my wife at the end of the meal. This cake was not the normal simple one like at other restaurants. The cake was small but actually very very good and was one of the highlights of the dinner. The only negative was the loud music during the belly dancing. The staff did apologise for the noise though. Overall a fantastic experience

Food is awesome, we had a platter of everything and i must say they are perfect (not too dry). the highlight was the starter, soup and OMG the lamb chop is amazing. Perhaps if we decide not to dine indoor - it will be rated 6 (as there was a event on the same evening - abit loud). Service team was prompt and Chef Ying took care of us thru out the evening. She explained the food to us as it was served - nicely done and timed. Wont hesitate to dine there again - for sure !! Thanks Shabestan!!

The food was nice but we got a shock when we received the bill ...the platter we asked for was only shown in the menu but no pricing against it....and we ended paying more than SGD 600 ...am sure can find better priced places elsewhere. I would not go again

Really good food, also good service, and a beautiful place. All this at a reasonable price for Singaporean standards (about 60 S$ each). Highly recommended
