Shandiez Persian Restaurant in Slotervaart Noord

We went with the family and had kebabs and mixed kebabs. Everything was great, the service was excellent, and the food was very tasty. Thank you for the good quality of the food.💐

Always an amazing experience — delicious dishes, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Delicious food. Good price, I've ordered and visited the restaurant many times. Friendly people.

A wonderful family restaurant, both family-friendly and run by a sweet and friendly family. Excellent service, who thoroughly explained the sometimes authentic dishes. Incredibly delicious and original food in a perfect atmosphere. Good-sized portions for a reasonable price. A lovely, large terrace in the summer. A true asset to this neighborhood and definitely worth a return visit.

Authentic Iranian restaurant! The kubideh was extremely juicy and delicious. The barg was equally delicious! The staff is friendly and accommodating. We'll be back!

We had a delicious meal of beautifully spiced Persian dishes, very friendly service, and excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

On this summer day, we had a wonderful time on the terrace. It faces east, so in the summer, you'll be warm but not in the heat. We started with fresh hummus with bread, dolmas in yogurt, and a fresh salad. For the main course, we had a mixed grill for two. It's unbelievable that this is available at this price: a very good value for money. And friendly service! A perfect opportunity if you want to eat something different and/or don't want to spend too much: this is the place to be!

I have never been to this restaurant but i have been ordering from here since forever. I had to leave a review. Their food is by far the best iranian in the nethelrands. Their service is amazing. I am always impressed. I highly highly recommend them.

Bakhtiari: the chicken was tasty, but the rest tasted burnt. The tomatoes were pitch black. If we'd eaten at the restaurant, I would have returned it. The mast o giar wasn't to our liking; better yet, not enough flavor. A huge disappointment. Such a shame. Not for us anymore. No photo, it's already in the trash.

A cozy, family-owned Persian restaurant with a generous menu and welcoming atmosphere. While it doesn't match the top-tier Persian restaurants found outside Iran (like in California), Shandiez offers a modest selection at modest prices. Not too many vegetarian options and no insight into ingredients either. They serve Ab Goosht, a classic Persian stew rarely found abroad, but surprisingly miss Iran’s flagship dish, Ghormeh Sabzi, an essential for anyone introducing Persian cuisine to newcomers. The homie interior and lower price points make it a more casual spot. On busy evenings, service can be quite slow due to overcapacity. Make sure not to bring a stroller, they don’t seem to be very accommodating if you do.

The staff were rude and seemed angry for no reason. Their behavior toward customers was unprofessional and made us feel very unwelcome. Because of this, we decided not to place an order and left immediately. The atmosphere was also unpleasant—definitely not a place we’d return to or recommend. Avoid if you’re looking for good service and a comfortable environment. Rude and unethical. Doesn’t even know the basic rules of customer service. The environment is not interesting at all. I would not recommend. I changed the restaurant without ordering and will never go there again.

Delicious food. Great value and super friendly service!

A few days ago, my family and I went to this restaurant and ordered Kobideh. The quality of the food was absolutely zero. It's a shame that I paid the money for this restaurant. The Kobideh was unsalted and the rice was hard. It wasn't good at all. 👎

Great food and friendly people working there. Definitely recommended. Also as a vegetarian.

The food is amazing! We had a delicious dinner with a variety of choices 😋 The portions are generous and the price is excellent. I love de decorations and the ambient Great job! Thank you

My favorite place in the neighborhood. Owner is attentive and cooks food with love. Great place for lunch and dinner.

The food itself is of good quality — everything is fresh, tasty and nicely presented. The price-quality ratio is also good for what you get. Unfortunately, I only give 1 star because of the waiting time: over 70 minutes for an order of lamb chops, adana kebab, fries and salad, on a quiet Friday afternoon with hardly any tables occupied. Hopefully they will work on the speed of the service. For us, not worth repeating.

We had a very good meal. Quality and plentiful dishes. The service was also fantastic.

Always delicious and tasty and very generous portions for the price! The flavors are great, if you are looking for a good Iranian restaurant you are in the right place

Delicious food! Fresh and full of flavour

We had an excellent meal here with 7 of us. Everything was delicious! The service was excellent and very friendly. Recommended!

Delicious honest food in a somewhat dated charming environment. Friendly owners

Good location, no parking, very good staff attitude, normal service, average food quality (unsalted rice). Overall, I do not recommend.

Just ordered food via Thuisbezorgd. This was the most delicious meal ever (so far) via Thuisbezorgd. Worth repeating, for sure.

I think it's the best Iranian restaurant in Amsterdam.

The food is good, but the interior looks old, not well-maintained, and not very clean.

I ordered from here for delivery. It was absolutely the worst persian food I have eaten in my life. The koobideh and Amirkhani were both absolutely bland and tasteless. Stay away.

Today I ate here again with my 2 sons. They love delicious saffron rice and ice cream. Sweet and friendly service.

It has become my regular spot now! You shouldn't come here for an Instagram photo shoot and the interior, but for the people and the food!! The service is fast and polite. With a reservation you are guaranteed a spot! You receive the menu quickly and the food arrives at the same time and hot for everyone. I have never eaten such good Iranian food anywhere else. The kebabs but also the traditional stews are delicious. Also recommended as catering for a party! I've had food taken away from time to time, that's also going well! Large portions! Can't finish it? You will then be given a container to take the rest with you if you would like!

Excellent service and outstanding food

We had a nice meal yesterday, during a busy period, the owner served us very well, the food was delicious, the staff is friendly and highly recommended.

We had a really delicious meal here for a good price! The tastiest rice yet, truly perfumed with saffron! We had the bakhtiari and fesenjan, both tasty and the saffron ice cream (bastani) too! Maybe we shouldn't say it, but... Better than those other Iranian restaurants in Amsterdam!

Very slow food prep, took us 1.20 hrs to get our food. Food is not authentic, near tasteless. Try other restaurants in amsterdam instead

Had a nice meal at Shandiez. We remembered the excellent review in the parool (7.5) when we were in Osdorp. Didn't take the specialties but the Mixed Grill with a few extras. Very tasty, more than we could eat, no room for dessert or coffee. Suitable chef/owner, who explained dishes well. Highly recommended in our opinion.

The food and service is good but the environment can be improved to make it a perfect place.

Food was delicious. Unfortunately many insects inside

Delicious meal with the family, highly recommended 🇮🇷

The best Iranian restaurant in the Netherlands. Wonderful Kebabs. Definitely recommend.

This was the several time we ordered food from this restaurant. The koobideh was extremely stale, and the barg kebab was so tough it was inedible. The last time was just as bad, but we thought it might have been a one-time issue. Unfortunately, after ordering again, we are very disappointed and regret our decision. This will be the last time we order from here. Don't waste your money.

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our dinner at this restaurant. We were disappointed with the quality of the food and service which didn’t reflect the warmth and richness we typically associate with Persian cuisine. The woman (owner) while clearly proud of her establishment and paintings came across as overly rude, complacent and eager to lecture. Her paintings on the wall contributed to a somewhat negative atmosphere. Not recommended!!!

The aubergine side dish was the most delicious. Shared vegetarian dishes for 6 people with wine came to €20 each.

Good to Know: - 📞 Reservation necessary. - 🍽️ Overall, a good Persian restaurant with above-average quality food! - 🍢 Grills and 🍖 mahicheh are delicious! 🔥 - 🥣 Stews, especially 🍛 fesenjan, are not recommended. - 💸 Some side dishes are overpriced, but free salad is included with your meal. - 🚗 Street parking available at around 3€/hour.

The polo mahi dish is amazing! Unbelievably good.

The worst food I have ever eaten

we visited Saturday 14th September and had an absolutely wonderful experience, amazing food, friendly attentive service, and the restaurant decoration is vibrant and authentic. they speak good English which was helpful for us to . I have read the negative reviews and think they must have been mistaken/gone to a different restaurant as we had a variety of food which was all cooked to the highest standard, with good quality ingredients, such as the lamb Tjentje and Fazenjan Chicken which was some of the best food we had ever tasted and the accompanying rice, salad and chips was also perfect, and good portion sizes; thank you for a fabulous evening.

It is highly recommended. The atmosphere and the quality of the food were extremely excellent. Be sure to try

The salad and royal dish was good but the kobideh and Djoje was not the best

The food was very tasty. We found this restaurant purely by chance and were very impressed with the food. The staff and the chef were extremely hospitable and forthcoming.

Great staff and above all really delicious food. I can only recommend it with all my heart. Beautiful restaurant, clean and the atmosphere was also very pleasant.

Sincerely, we enjoyed it for little money. Unique in 2024!

Good surprisingly tasty! Highly recommended

[My Dutch review is below]: Shandiez Restaurant has good kebabs! I got the 'Shandiez mix' - it's this plate with 3 different kebabs for two people. As a Persian, I gotta say they were super tender and tasty. For starters, I tried the 'Shirazi salad' which was mm…fine, and the 'Zeetunparwarde' which wasn't really my thing. The staff was friendly, and there's plenty of seating with cool Iranian decorations all around. Parking easy too. I'll definitely be back in the future! ———————————- [Dutch review]: Shandiez Restaurant has good kebabs! I took the 'Shandiez mix' - which is a plate of 3 different kebabs for two people.

Delicious, cozy, helpful, great prices

What a horrible food, Chinjeh kabab was not even edible. The amount of rice was so little and we find out it was actually from leftover, they give only one bread for three orders. I did a big mistake to take my friend with me. It was such a shame. They don't deserve even one star.

Koobideh and joojeh kabab was decent but the chinjeh kabab tasted like rubber, do NOT order it. The waiter also told us that there was no rice? How is that possible when that is one of the main part of a Persian dish :/ each dish should have rice coming with it but instead we got leftover rice and a little bit of bread and STILL we had to pay full price. We asked for bread saying that we should be compensated for the amount of rice and bread that came with our food but instead we got charged for it. It is too expensive for what we got. Overall, not a good experience, I do not recommend.

We came at 7:30 on a Monday with very little people but they were already out of fries and rice. Thankfully they did have bread, but we were NOT given enough bread for the 3 dishes we ordered. We ordered koobideh, joojeh kabab, and chinjeh, all of these should have had a bread to replace the rice or the price should’ve been decreased to account for the lack of rice/bread. Because of this I have to give the service a low rating although I do think the service was amicable but in a situation like this you should make exceptions.

I really liked the food, the flavor was delicious with just the right amount of seasoning (in the photo it looks less than it actually was). It's a great place to take friends, our friends loved it too.

Very poor quality food. I made a few comments about the waiting time for the food and they forgot to bring dishes, the woman was able to take criticism. How the staff treats the customer there is a red flag in itself. I was quite disappointed in the taste but that made me sure to never come back again. The djujeh and kebab were tasteless. The cutlery was dirty, that's really unacceptable. At the other restaurant in Amsterdam the staff is very friendly, social and the food is delicious, they were full so that's why we came here, but that is the last time.

I thought I would come here for a nice meal and enjoy the Persian cuisine, the opposite was true :( fries were soaked in oil as if they had been in the deep fryer for too long and no taste, so in my opinion it was also very cheap or oil that had expired I think that your mediocre quality of food deprives you of the right to call the restaurant as it is called, because with that name you should be one of the best. The woman does not seem hospitable and does not chat, she prefers to stand all the time behind the counter until the food has to be served. Not wanting to pay extra staff may work well for the owner's wallet, but extra staff ensures that the owner or manager has his hands free to pay attention to guests. The interior is outdated to say the least and the furniture could use a lick of paint. It is already a mediocre neighborhood in which the restaurant is located and you will not stand out. If you do not want to make some adjustments soon, unfortunately no one will come anymore. The only thing that had any taste was the soda but yes... it wasn't made by them ^^ The first and the last time for me and probably for many.

The chenjeh and joojeh was tender but a bit tasteless . It could have been marinated maybe better or longer.. the koobideh was nice meaty and not fat if you like more fatty kebab its not that. All in all nice experience and nice owners.

Delicious food. Very pleasant family restaurant. These people deserve more business. I recommend the Fesenjan chicken. You can also sit outside

Great Persian food and friendly staff. Prices are reasonable and food quality is high!

Very tasty and the staff was also very nice.

Lady serving us was nice and respectful but the service was super slow. It literally took over one hour for 5 kabab dishes to be served. Wasted our time. The kabab was not seasoned well and didn’t taste good. It is halal according to the staff. Not worth the money or the wait.

Low quality food with low hospitality

The three of us had a delicious meal, there was a pleasant atmosphere, very sweet owner and service. Top restaurant, would definitely eat there again.

Friendly people, delicious food and warm atmosphere. What else do you want?

We ordered takeout of Kopideh and Joje. The Kobideh was tasteless, and the Joje was dry. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it for those seeking delicious food.

We used this restaurant as a caterer for our wedding and it was perfect! Food was delicious, people were friendly and the staff at our location was also very pleased with the level of professionalism and how great everything went! All worries were taken away for us. Perfect!

Rarely delicious food! And for the price, this restaurant is more than worth its 5 stars!

Tastiest Persian food in Amsterdam and affordable.

They are the best in Amsterdam for persian food , I hope they renovate the place

we ordered Royal mixed grilled dish ( for two people ) it had one Kabab, one Juje and one Barg with rice, it was really delicious, only the amount of rice was not enough for the amount of grill, if it was more it was perfect. the stuff was really kind and friendly and we really enjoyed. totally recommend it.

The food was very good over there, we tried their mix grill and it was really nice. We also tried their saffron ice cream, it was also really nice

It was not awful😞 The Barg kebab was really tasteless. Never visit again for sure

Really delicious food and excellent portions for the price. Will be back for sure.

Such a warm welcome and such delicious food and bizarrely affordable. I had dinner here for my birthday and it was so nice! Absolutely recommended, I definitely recommend eating at Shandiez instead of a hip place. The price/quality ratio is very good and it is really about the food, which is always a pleasant experience in Amsterdam

I've had a fair share of Iranian food but the food here blows my mind. I enjoyed each and every bite of it. The koobideh is juicy and the kashke bademjoon is something you eat at an Iranian household. The atmosphere was so cozy I felt like I'm eating in an Iranian household with home cooked food. The lady was nothing but friendly and so accommodating. Reminds me so much of my mother in law. I wanted tea as the finale and asked for an Iranian tea. The lady immediately served us a good Iranian tea. The food was worth the wait as they put all the time, effort and much love to the food. I definitely recommend this restaurant and I would come back again.

Great place, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, decent food preperation time. I personally recommend it!

Leuk ingericht, grote porties (drie gangen is te veel) en fijne service!

This place is amazing The food is so tasty and freshly prepared 😋 we started with a fresh vegetable salad and a warm grilled aubergine salad which were accompanied by warm bread. Then we had huge plates of fish and seafood and offcourse the famous different types of persian kebabs with rice. Everything was cooked perfectly and amazing taste! Parviz and his wife are amazing hosts, that truely display persian hospitality at its best!!! Would come back as often as i can!

Fantastisch restaurant. We blijven hier maar terugkomen door de combi van superlieve mensen en verschrikkelijk lekker eten!

Wij hebben vanavond voor het eerst 3 verschillend Perzische gerechten opgehaald bij Restaurant Shamdiz om thuis te eten, , het was fantastisch en erg lekker, service was top en die Dame achter de bar erg vriendelijk met mooie energie , volgende keer schuiven wij graag aan de tafel.

What an amazing food,actually i was not expecting that much delicious iranian food can be found outside iran. Fresh juicy kabab barg was amazing. Highly recommended for thos who are in love with iranian food.

Very delicious iranian food, the real taste and fresh materials. we recommend this restaurant for the people that want to eat real iranian food.

Lugar acogedor, excelente ambiente, comida esquisita y buen trato del personal 10 de 10, la sopa del día y el pescado una maravilla

El pescado delicioso y hecho en el momento, personal muy atento

Very nice ambiance, feels like home. Very tasty and rich food, I loved the variety of options as well. Had a nice birthday dinner :)

Hele lekkere gerechten, wat ik ook heel goed vind porties zijn groot genoeg.

Really awful service we waited close to an hour for food and when we asked about it they were really rude. Food was ok but would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food was super tasty. Reasonable prices and good service. We enjoyed the atmosphere and good food. Although KashkeBademjoon was without Kashk

Unforgettable taste of a good Persian dish… definitely recommend! The owner is so nice and friendly.

The food was amazing. We had different dishes and all of them were delicious.

Eindelijk gevonden: een Perzisch restaurant met de originele smaken, wij hebben genoten en kunnen iedereen aanraden om een keer de echte Perzische cultuur op te snuiven en het heerlijke eten: mixed grill, kubideh, salade met brood en mast de mousir en uiteraard douk.

Goed gegeten, de kok is niet de moeilijkste om wat aan te passen aan je eten. Goede prijzen.!

Sitios que descubre uno, dandole una oportunidad casi por casualidad. Sitios bien llevados y organizados que sobreviven con una clientela bien fidelizada y que son dificiles de descubrir, que les gusta hacer las cosas bien por que casi va intrinseco en su moral. Sitios que no quieren mas clientela por que prefieren tratar bien a los que ya tienen sin que se masifique y perder calidad. Esos "sitios".

We did have to wait quite a bit of time for our food (this might be a one off judging by other reviews) but the owner was super nice and the food was absolutely delicious - so well worth the wait. Fantastic food

My favorite restaurant in amsterdam

Alles war super! Die Bedienung freundlich und das Essen autenthisch, frisch und mit Liebe zubereitet. Preis Leistung 1A👌🏼
