Persian Parsa Restaurant in Da Costabuurt

Great place, great ownership, great food. Do yourself a favor and give Parsa restaurant a try. Good atmosphere to hang out in too

Excellent food, cost ambience. The portions are good too! Highly recommended

Unfortunately, it was one of our worst experiences at an Iranian restaurant! The rice soup smelled bad and the hot mint was burnt. The rice was not cooked at all, the beans were almost non-existent, and the meat had an unpleasant smell and bad taste. The kebab tasted like spices only, the olives were of poor quality, the Shirazi salad was stale, and the spinach bourani was just yogurt mixed with spinach! We had come with great enthusiasm to have a good night and enjoy Iranian food, but the terrible quality of the food really spoiled our taste and ruined our whole evening. Unfortunately, I do not recommend it at all.

All I can say is, it's terrible. Very poor quality food, uncooked and hard rice, with strings left in it!!! And uncooked and hard chickpeas. High prices and very bad and uncooked food. We were really shocked. We had never seen anything like this. It's a shame!!

I do not recommend this place at all. The meat was old, reheated, and grilled again to make it seem fresh. The presentation was poor as well. Here are the photos.

We had the kobbide kebab and the fessendjan, really good

Food was good but greasy and a bit cold. The service was mediocre at best.

I absolutely do not recommend it. The rice is undercooked and the kobideh is overcooked or burnt. The prices on the menu are also incorrect, so be careful. One star is too much.

The food was so so good! Staff so friendly ❤️

Delicious Persian food and cute interior! Love it here

Great food and very friendly owner. I highly recommend it.

It's a good restaurant, they treat you well, it has a pleasant atmosphere🤝

A truly exceptional culinary experience in Amsterdam! This Persian restaurant impressed us from beginning to end. The tasteful and elegant atmosphere, perfect for a special evening, is immediately apparent upon entering. The food was outstanding. Every dish was prepared with meticulous attention to detail, beautifully presented, and wonderfully balanced in flavor. The authentic Persian aromas, the freshness of the ingredients, and the quality of each individual dish were particularly impressive. It's immediately clear that great emphasis is placed on traditional cuisine and high-quality preparation. The service was also exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional. Despite the pleasant and stylish atmosphere, we felt welcome and well cared for at all times. The staff were very courteous and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. What makes this restaurant so special is the combination of excellent food, stylish ambiance, and warm hospitality. It's not just a place to eat, but a restaurant where you can happily linger and savor the evening. For anyone looking to experience high-quality Persian cuisine in Amsterdam, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. We were absolutely thrilled and would come back anytime. A wonderful evening and a well-deserved five stars!

One of the best Iranian restaurants and the service was excellent.

Lovely place with incredibly friendly staff. Tasty food and excellent prices! We will definitely be back to try the rest of the dessert menu 😀

Craving some delicious Persian food? You're in the right place!

Excellent service and delicious food.

This restaurant is amazing. Great food and great service!

They have really one of the best kebabs in Amsterdam.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🏜️ Amazing Persian food ( including 💚 Vegetarian) ❤️, super friendly people, and such a lovely atmosphere! 😍 If you’re in Amsterdam, definitely give Parsa a try — you won’t regret it! ✨

Delicious food. Very friendly service. Excellent food recommendations. Our first time eating Persian food. A huge success. We felt very comfortable. Thank you.

I don’t recommend this restaurant 🫠

The food was tasty and the portions abundant. They didn’t have sheshlik however, as they run out of it. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a convenient Persian food restaurant in Amsterdam and a cosy, traditional atmosphere.

The food and service here were absolutely wonderful! I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Persian food in Amsterdam!

The most uncomfortable restaurant experiences I have ever had. My girlfriend and I felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome/unsafe from the moment we arrived. We experienced repeated staring and behavior that made us feel very uneasy, especially toward my girlfriend. The atmosphere became so uncomfortable that we just wanted to pay as quickly as possible and leave. I have never had an experience like this in a restaurant before, and I honestly felt terrible afterwards. We went there expecting to have a nice evening, but instead we spent the whole time feeling uncomfortable and wanting to get out. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but I feel that people should know about our experience. If you want to enjoy a relaxed and comfortable evening, I would personally choose somewhere else.

Such a lovely experience! The food was delicious and authentic, but what really made our visit special was the wonderful service. The girls were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Beautiful atmosphere, great food, and genuinely lovely service. Highly recommended! ❤️

The meat was not up to standard, based on what I had experienced at various Iranian restaurants. The khoresht was also valuable... it was different from what was expected... it was bland and not very flavorful. The staff are friendly and respectful.

Sooooo delicious! The best service and incredibly friendly staff.

Super nice people and excellent service.

Great service and super nice people 👍👍.

Excellent service, timely and delicious food

The staff's behavior was great, the food was also great ❤️ The behavior of Uncle Mansour and Mrs. Ghazal was great ❤️

The food is not fresh, and expensive for what you get served.

Excellent service Good manners Uncle Mansour is extremely polite and professional

The Waziri was absolutely outstanding! The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with authentic Persian flavors in every bite. The rice was light and fluffy, and everything was freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Excellent quality, generous portions, and friendly service. If you're looking for authentic Persian cuisine, this is definitely a dish I would recommend. I can't wait to come back!

The food is very delicious and the price is also very reasonable.

Delicious, high-quality Persian food that isn't too expensive, and friendly service with a nice atmosphere.

Hame Chi awli. Dayi Mansur kheyli mehrabun hastan. Masto khiyare kheyli khoshmaze

The quality of the food was excellent and the behavior of Uncle Mansour Aziz was very friendly.

In a truly romantic Persian atmosphere, where timeless Iranian music takes you back to the golden days of Iran. Enjoy some of the most delicious kebabs you'll ever taste—so good you'll want to finish every bite. Visiting Amsterdam without stopping by Uncle Mansour? That's simply not an option! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with the warm hospitality of the friendly staff.

Lovely Food happy staff and good atmosphere

From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. The restaurant was very clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated, inspired by Iranian culture, creating a pleasant, family-like atmosphere. Our order was prepared in a timely manner, and the quality of the food was beyond our expectations. The kebabs were perfectly juicy, flavorful, and well-grilled, and the saffron rice had a wonderful aroma and flavor. The salad, yogurt, and other side dishes were also completely fresh and high-quality, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients were used to prepare the food. What caught our attention most was the attention to detail and professional attitude of the staff. They patiently answered our questions and made us feel comfortable and welcome. It had been a long time since we had experienced such authentic, high-quality Iranian food outside of Iran. If you are looking for a restaurant in Amsterdam that offers both authentic Iranian cuisine and excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere, this is undoubtedly one of the best choices. We will definitely come back here again and will definitely recommend it to our friends and acquaintances. From the moment we entered the restaurant, we felt immediately welcomed thanks to the warm and cordial reception by the staff. The restaurant was spotless, quiet and attractively decorated with a beautiful interior that was inspired by the Iranian culture. The cozy and family atmosphere made our experience even more enjoyable. Our order was served on time and the quality of the food exceeded all our expectations. The kebabs were deliciously tender, juicy and perfectly grilled. The saffron rice was fragrant and full of flavor. The salad, yogurt and other side dishes were also fresh and of excellent quality. It was clear that they were cooked with high-quality ingredients and great care. What struck us most was the attention to detail and the professional, friendly service. Het personeel nam de tijd om al onze vragen te beswieden en zorgde ervar dat we ons echt op ons gemak vielden. Het was lang geleden dat we buiten Iran zo'n authentice en kwalitatief high quality Iranian meal hadden gegeten. Ben je in Amsterdam looking for a restaurant where you can experience the real taste of Iranian cuisine, combined with excellent service and a warm, cozy atmosphere? Dan is without a doubt one of the best choices. Wij komen hier zeker terug en zullen dit restaurant met veel pleasure aanbevelen aan onze familie, vrienden en iedereen die van goed eten houdt.

Excellent in a completely Iranian and beautiful environment.

The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly

Every thing was really great i loved the food so much and i would definitely come back hier and i loved the decorations

Worst restaurant I have ever been to. Dirty spoons, rude owner, and bad service. The rice was undercooked and the koobideh was still red inside. The owner also just blew his nose right in the middle of the restaurant, really gross. Additionally, the drink prices did not match the menu. Absolutely not recommended.

Delicious food and good service👍

Very warm and friendly atmosphere, great food, especially under the management of dear Uncle Mansour. I really recommend it.

This was one of the best restaurants I have been into in the last 10 years they were so friendly and kind I highly recommend going to this place

A huge thank you to everyone at Uncle Mansour Restaurant for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Iranian cuisine. Five stars all the way!

The quality of the grilled kebab and grilled chicken was very good.

Delicious Iranian food, great service, kind and friendly driver

If you’re looking for an outstanding Persian restaurant in Amsterdam, Parsa Restaurant is a must-visit. Everything was absolutely perfect—from the delicious, high-quality food to the warm, friendly, and professional staff. The atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing, and incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Amsterdam. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience! 🌹

A truly beautiful restaurant with delicious food. The waitress was very friendly and nice. I will always come here when I'm in Amsterdam.

It's nothing like other restaurants of its kind. The food is below average; I won't visit again.

This isn't representative of Iranian restaurants. The food is mediocre, the atmosphere is depressing, and we're the only ones there.

Authentic Persian food. Dined here several times. Fresh food. Quick service. Must come when in Amsterdam.

We had a wonderful experience at Parsa restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the classic Persian music created the perfect ambiance. The Koobideh kebab was absolutely delicious—one of the best we've had. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and hospitable, making us feel right at home. The service was excellent, and our food was prepared and served very quickly. The Doogh drink was also outstanding and complemented the meal perfectly. Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back!

Our first experience of eating in Amsterdam was at this restaurant and it really couldn't have been better. From the moment we entered, we didn't feel like we were in a restaurant; we felt like we were visiting an old friend's house. The atmosphere was warm, intimate and pleasant, and everyone was extremely respectful and friendly. A special thank you to my dear Uncle Mansour, who with his good manners, positive energy and exemplary hospitality made us feel like we weren't home. His presence truly made the experience memorable for us. The food was exceptional; completely authentic, fresh, aromatic and incredibly delicious. Every bite tasted like home-cooked, high-quality food.

I can really recommend this place. I eat a lot at Persian restaurants around the world, especially in Europe. I can say that in addition to the fantastic food, the atmosphere and service are just as good. It didn't feel like you were in a restaurant, but more like you were invited as a guest in the home of an Iranian family. Incredibly wonderful energy and service. You got large portions of food and everything was fresh. Next time I visit Amsterdam I will definitely come back!

The food at this restaurant was truly excellent, showcasing the best of authentic Iranian cuisine. The quality of the ingredients was evident and everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was very respectful, friendly and professional, and the restaurant was clean, quiet and pleasant. If you are looking for an Iranian restaurant with quality food, excellent service and a warm and friendly atmosphere, I would definitely recommend this place.

Best persin kobideh in amsterdam

The food quality was terrible. The chenje smelled and tasted like reheated leftovers to the point that it was inedible. The gheimeh was more like a soup than a stew. Overall, it was definitely not worth the money or the time, and the service was poor as well. Very disappointing experience.

I had the koobideh here and it was really tasty. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the place has a nice Iranian vibe. Great atmosphere and a cool spot in Amsterdam. I’d definitely recommend it.

The food was excellent, the service was professional, and the overall experience was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks Solmaz

Solmaz Jun was amazing ♥️ food was even more amazing

Solmaz, the service was great, thank you, the food was delicious, and I have to try this dish twice. I recommend it to you too, dear friend.

The food is delicious, but the seating is poor and the service is average.

Very friendly staff and delicious food

Very friendly, delicious food, fantastic 🤩

Amazing food and very good service and thank you for the food solmazjoon 🤩.

This was our first experience in this Cozy Persian restaurant in beautiful Amsterdam, and everything was as we expected. We ordered Chelow kabab koobideh and it was perfect. Dear Mrs Soolmaz also was very nice and friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to all Persian food lovers who are in Amsterdam seeking somewhere to have best quality food in a great atmosphere.

One off best restaurant in Amsterdam

Got the koobideh and jujeh kabob and both were very tender and delicious. The mast o khiar was also very good. Extra shout out to Dayee Mansoor for great service!

Excellent authentic Persian restaurant with great hospitality and service. Thank you Amoo syed :)

The best Persian kebab in the Netherlands, in comparison with what I have experienced before in other places, people were friendly and decoration and music was really Persian

Mashalllah very good restaurant

The best Persian restaurant in the city

The kebabs were of very high quality, fresh and well cooked, the lentil pilaf was also very tasty, the service was good and fast without any delay, the staff was very kind and friendly, as if we had already known each other 😁 I went with my European friends and they also really liked the restaurant's decor, music and food.

Worst iranian restaurant in Europe

We had kebab, it was really great. The meat was fresh and tasty, perfectly juicy and cooked perfectly. The staff was also respectful. We will definitely come again.

Thank you, Jimmy Salmas, for the welcome.

The restaurant environment was wonderful and welcoming, the food was very well cooked and tasty. Thank you to the restaurant staff and Ms. Solmaz🫶
