Taste of Persia in Wijk 22 Zeeheldenkwartier

Unfortunately, unfortunately... The best Iranian restaurant in the Netherlands is gone...

Unfortunately, the food was bland. The eggplant appetizer didn't look like the photo and wasn't very tasty. The service was very nice and friendly.

The best 👌 restaurant begins with hygienic and food quality. The service is perfect 👌.

I eat Persian food a lot but that was one of the most delicious Persian food I ever tasted. Restaurant, very clean the stuff are super nice. The food is heavenly.Dont miss on kashko bademjoon it will blow your mind ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Although the fesenjoon and bastani were tasty, my overall experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The appetizers were bland and served with highly processed bread, and the barg was dry. Most concerning, however, was the rice—I could tell from the smell alone that it was moldy! To top it off, the owners had their dog roaming freely in the dining area, raising additional concerns about hygiene and food-safety standards.

What a wonderful evening we had at Taste of Persia! This restaurant is highly recommended. The staff is very friendly and hospitable, making you feel immediately welcome. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The Persian food was delicious and of good quality. As a starter, we were served a platter of tasty appetizers and various dips, which was a great start. The main course, the deliciously marinated meat with saffron rice, was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The portions are very generous. We were given so much that we were all able to take containers home. This was great, as it allowed us to enjoy the meal again at home! We finished with a delicious saffron ice cream for dessert. In short, Taste of Persia offers delicious, authentic food and excellent service. A definite five stars!

Yesterday we had a wonderful family dinner at Taste of Persia. We all loved it! I had the mixed vegetarian appetizers and couldn't decide which of the four I liked best! It came with really good, tasty rice. To finish, we had some truly special Persian ice cream! (It was hard to choose, the baklava looked amazing too.) The friendly owners and staff made us feel very welcome. Reservations are recommended!

We had a very nice meal here. Everything we ordered was delicious. And the staff were very friendly.

Great food, lots of food. Great service!

Truly a wonderful experience at Taste of Persia. The food is delicious, exactly how authentic Persian food is supposed to taste. You can taste the spices, the warmth, and the love that went into it. The tea was also top-notch, full of flavor, just right; the dates melted away on my tongue. Then came the food, and I am not exaggerating when I say I had a food orgasm. It was magnificently delicious. Additionally, it was a super cute place, nice and cozy, and the people who give low stars because it is “too small”? They should take a look at what’s in their underwear. Stop whining. So, as I said, the place was very cute and the owner was too; I almost wanted to pinch his cheeks. The waitress was also very friendly. All in all, highly recommended!

Amazing food and hospitality. Their food makes you feel at home. If you haven’t tried it yet, I definitely recommend👀👌🏻👌🏻

Delicious food, tea, and friendliest staff!!

We were warmly welcomed. We started off deliciously with a mix of various Persian dips and appetizers, followed by a main course of saffron rice, lamb loin, and grilled vegetables. The portion was so generous that I was able to enjoy it again at home. Mehdi, Nazanin, and the staff took excellent care of us with their hospitality, delicious food, and drinks. I would recommend Mehdi and Nazanin's Persian food and drinks to everyone, and the Persian/saffron ice cream is sooooo delicious!!!

The first time we went, we really enjoyed it. The food was good and the service was nice too. No complaints. However, the second time we wanted to go, we had a terrible experience. We had our dog with us and we waited at the door to ask if they’d allow dogs inside. At first a young girl came to greet us and she was really sweet and said she needed to check with the owner. So she turned back to the lady who was serving a table right behind and asked her. This lady, the owner, without even looking at us or acknowledging us just shook her head in a rude manner. It was really insulting as we were standing right in front of her. Even if you don’t allow dogs, you can be nice about it and acknowledge people. If you cannot have basic human decency of politeness then no matter how good your food is, we are never going to go back. On principle, I will not give business to such kind of establishments. It will probably not make any difference to them but at least I’ve done my part.

The quality was changed it wasn’t same good as always

As a Persian, I’d say the food isn’t top-notch, but it’s still good. The waiters and the chef were very friendly — the chef even customized a dish for us, which was really nice. The place feels cozy, clean, and pretty new. The main downside was the owner, who was noticeably less polite than the rest of the staff.

I recommend making a reservation beforehand. But for the amount of food and service, the price is definitely worth it. The place is cozy. I definitely recommend the place if you want a taste of Persia 😉

Another delicious meal; we drive there from Zwolle about twice a year, so that says something! Highly recommended for fans of Iranian cuisine! And the service was friendly. Top notch!

We love the food from Taste of Persia. The restaurant is run by a family and the lady is super friendly. There are not many tables and is strongly suggested to make reservation. The taste of the food is fantastic. Fully recommended to enjoy a real Persian meal.

Highly recommended if you're in The Hague. We enjoyed delicious dishes from appetizers to dessert, which was a true delight. The service was fantastic, with a very friendly welcome and charming service from a very sweet lady. In short, you definitely deserve a 5* ⭐️ across the board 👏👏👏👏

It is a really nice restaurant. It was really delicious. It was great, we really enjoyed it. Excellent food and service

Everything was amazing! Service and customer service with the restaurant owner was wonderful. We have had a great experience and food was delicious and healthy, as persian food. Taste of Persia thank you so much for your wonderful service and hospitality! Dear Nazi, you are very kind and generous, and for us who are far from Iranian mothers, you remind us of childhood memories with these delicious foods!

Delicious and healthy food with excellent flavor, generous portions, and outstanding hospitality

The food is excellent—everything is homemade and tastes just like my mom’s cooking. The staff are incredibly kind and hospitable. A must-try if you’re visiting The Hague in the Netherlands!

Super friendly and polite. Authentic taste, good portion and fair price

We had a very pleasant meal today at the taste of persia, although we didn’t have a reservation, the lady was nice enough to offer us a table, the food was so good and the service was perfect.. highly recommend

Time waiting 1 h and expensive

This was my second time visiting this restaurant. Their food is really good quality and their service is excellent. The lady and gentleman who usually attend are very respectful and friendly. To be honest, I had the best chicken here, the quality of their grilled chicken is really great, as is the leaf kebab, but the kubideh is not as good as the rest of the kebabs. Considering that they obviously care about maintaining high quality, I suggest they revise the kubideh recipe a little. Thank you.

Real Persian taste and their foods and drinks have high quality

The best of the best. Love it. ❤️

The quality of the food was far from what you’d expect from authentic Persian dishes, and it wasn’t delicious at all. The staff was rude—when we asked to return a dish because it was burnt and had a layer of carbon on it, the staff responded, ‘You always complain—if we cook it, it burns; otherwise, it’s raw.’ It was a very bad first impression—and also my last visit.

While the food is great, the service was awful, the lady forced us to order dishes that we did not want and one of the mixed grills had a hair. Would not recommend.

Unfortunately, the kebab, behavior, and restaurant are extremely poor quality.

Taste of Persia had been on my list for a long time, and it didn't disappoint! The service was friendly and recommended Kashke Bademjan (grilled eggplant) as a starter. Delicious! For our main course, we ordered the mixed grill for two people instead of three (the portions are generous), and the meat was wonderfully tender. It's a small restaurant, so reservations are recommended.

Amazing experience, delicious food, friendly staff, nice and super clean space. We’ll definitely visit again!

Best food in NL and BE very nice service and food was so good 🪄

The best Persian food in NL and Belgium. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the food and your great hospitality.

Real best qualities and friendly staff, thanks

Service like trash. Unfortunately. And the iranian Manager was behaving badly. We Do not recommend

We traveled from Germany and ate here for dinner to go! Kubideh is made by machine! Djujeh was delicious! But as an Iranian, you want to eat kubideh, but it wasn't! It's a shame, and the prices are very, very expensive compared to Germany!

Really good, a pleasure, nice people! You really have to come without hesitation.

I can’t recommend this place enough. One can smell the scent of good food even before stepping in. Atmosphere inside is truly welcoming and personal is very friendly and helpful. The portions are huge, we even needed to pack something and finish at home. Food is really worth the price and I will definitely be coming back in the future.

It used to be a 5-star. The prices have increased rapidly, while quality and quantities went down.

I heard about it from a friend, I went there. We had a big stroller, it was a bit cramped inside, but the owner (I think) was very friendly and cooperated fully to fold the stroller and put it somewhere inside. Thanks for that. The atmosphere was good and quite quiet, the food was generally reasonable. I will list everything we had below: Barg: okay (a bit burnt) Kubideh: Bad taste (burnt and raw inside) Mast musir: tasty Zaytoen parvardeh: tasty Kashke bademjan: tasty Kafir: tasty (hard to drink, could be thinner)

It was my introduction to Iranian cuisine last night. What a delicious meal we had! Fortunately, there was plenty of choice for vegetarians. But my company enjoyed the lamb. We went all the way: starters, main courses, side dishes and dessert. Of course not necessary but very tasty. We did ask for a doggy bag because the portions are large. Nice service, very warm welcome. We will definitely come back!

I love to eat Persian food with just the two of us, starter, main course and dessert, everything is really delicious and tasty.

An Iranian restaurant in the center of The Hague, Netherlands. The food and service are excellent. I highly recommend visiting it.

I had a surprise dinner planned for my husband and they went over boat to make that day the most special day for him. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff was really nice and helpful.

Had dinner at ToP. Quality and quantity of the food is good. Service and chef are friendly and housekeeping. Atmosphere is calm and gives a look back to Iran. Photo by jahan pahlevan Tachty shines and says something (consciously sporty) about the chef and owner. I say; highly recommended.

We went there on a busy day but with reservations. The starters we ordered are among the most liked dishes in Iran: Mirza Ghesemi (aubergine+tomato+garlic+egg) and Kashke Badenjan (aubergine+liquid whey+garlic) For the mains we ordered Chicken kabab with Barberries pilaf and two different Persian stews which are again on the top list of Iranian cuisine but not many Iranian restaurants located in Europe offer these dishes when it comes to elegance of Persian prime stews. However, as an experienced cook, I can say their stews are outstanding and truly made with love and high quality ingredients. All in all, I highly recommend this place if you want to have a decent experience of famous Persian dishes that are not limited to Kababs which are also of high quality in this restaurant

I had visited this restaurant once before and had a much better experience back then. Unfortunately, things have changed for the worse. Not only have they significantly increased their prices, but the quality of the food has also dropped noticeably. The koobideh kebab, in particular, was very disappointing — it tasted more like soy than actual meat. Another frustrating issue was the water service. We ordered one bottle of water, but they brought two bottles to the table without asking and charged us €4 for each Spa bottle, adding up to €8 just for water! Overall, I absolutely do not recommend this place anymore. This was my last visit.

Amazing food and friendly service 😋

Best Persian restaurant in the Netherlands

Very nice and delicious food Very clean place Nice and Friendly staff Just the space between the tables are not enough for setting properly

The best food from Persia. Very friendly staff. Excellent dishes. We have been coming here for at least 10 years. The taste and quality have not changed in all those years. Highly recommended. Reservations are required.

Lots of food without any taste. Price/quality not in proportion. One-time. They also made no effort to satisfy you or let you try something different. This was an insult to Iranian cuisine

Taste of Persia is my favorite restaurant!!! Always delicious and fresh food. Once you eat there, you will keep coming back, at least once a month! They are great!!!!!!!

Just dined in to celebrate nowruz (persian new year) like always, the quality and the quantity of the food is excellent. The chello kebab was fresh and delicious, and there zabzi polo was so fresh and tasteful. Will be coming back!

A very friendly atmosphere with very tasty food!

You can taste the tastiest and best Persian food here, everything is prepared with love and attention from the best products. It is definitely recommended to take menu taste of persia so you have all the delicious starters and kebabs in one go. I always have that feeling that I am back home when I have eaten here 😍😍 super pleasant. Thank you 🥰

There are not many Persian restaurants in the Netherlands that I would recommend, but you should go here. The menu has good variety and good desserts. If you have anything with meat, make sure you have tea afterwards. Service was great and we enjoyed our time.

Great food and atmosphere . Friendly staff

Tuve una experiencia terrible con Taste of Persia cuando ordené a través de DoorDash. No solo fue decepcionante la comida, sino que cuando llamé al restaurante para aclarar un problema con mi pedido, la persona al teléfono fue extremadamente grosera y poco profesional. ¡En lugar de escuchar mi preocupación, me cortó la llamada! El servicio al cliente es tan importante como la comida en sí, y este lugar claramente tampoco se preocupa. Si estás buscando comida de calidad y un servicio respetuoso, te recomiendo pedirla en otro lugar. No les daré mi negocio de nuevo.

Super tasty food! The best Persian restaurant in the Netherlands!! The Koobideh in particular gets 5 stars from me!!!

Amazing experience here! The food was delicious and the waitresses were lovely. If you love Persian food or have never tried it before, you have to come!!

Came here for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Highly recommend anyone to stop by the foods amazing and the portions are well worth it

Amazing Persian food! And the owners and staff are so hospitable! 100% would recommend

1- The meat wasn’t cooked good. 2- no tap water

Its a tiny little restaurant that served a iranin food its too crowded place everyone sits very close to each other’s the food is not that good the kabab is not well done but the amount is fear enough

Good food, big portions and amazing service. Would definitely recommend

Como iraní, sé lo que es la comida iraní. Desafortunadamente, lo que servían como kabab koobideh era insípido, excesivamente salado y de mala calidad. Cuando les mencioné esto cortésmente, uno de los empleados le preguntó a un cliente regular y a su amigo si su comida también era demasiado salada, y me dijeron que no. Les dije que la probaran ellos mismos, pero respondieron: “No necesitamos probarla; hemos estado haciendo esto durante cuarenta años”. No comí el kabab koobideh y lo pagué de todos modos. Fue una experiencia muy mala con el comportamiento grosero.

The portions at taste of Persia are generous and the quality is good enough but I wouldn’t call it authentic at all. My boyfriend had the chicken bbq (juje kabab) which tasted pretty good, and I had the Ghormeh Sabzi. The ghorme sabzi is adjusted to the taste of westerners but it still tastes okay if you are craving it. The koobideh is meh. They have a variety of options for starters to choose from which is nice.

Best Iranian food in Netherlands.. test is perfect.. it is my best restaurant in Den haag… but place is small and the open st 5 only.

Vegan Ghormesabzi and Adas-polo were reaaaalllyyy tasty. Zeytoon parvardeh is the best side dish ever. It creates fantastic combinations with each food. Salad Shirazi as well, if you like sour. Almost everything is overprices though. Salad Shirazi is just some tomato’s and cucumbers and onion and herbs and salt. Really over prices. This is sad to see Iranian restaurants all have a tendency to overprice. While their food can be warmed up easily and kept for quite some time or is not even made of fresh vegetables. I must add that their vegetarian options are not nutritionally valuable as what you see in most eastern Asian cuisines. This specific restaurant should definitely add more salad also to their menu. I hope Ash reshteh comes back to the menu as well.

Warm lighting and traditional decor create an inviting atmosphere at this authentic Persian restaurant. The menu features expertly grilled meats, aromatic rice dishes, and rich stews that showcase the best of Persian cuisine. With generous portions, attentive service, and reasonable prices, it's a delightful spot for both special occasions and casual dining. ​​​​​​

Delicious traditional Persian (grill) dishes. Quality is in order, one of the better restaurants in the The Hague region. They come for a fork more often. 🍽️😉

had such a good time! we were with a group of 5. real authentic Persian food ( from a half iranian person) sweet employee’s who spoke english as well as farsi. big compliments to them and also the owner. we will definitely be back when we’re in the Hague! Merci. Only thing that needs to get looked at is the phone number. I couldn’t contact them well to make a reservation. but it was all ok in the end

A very tiny restaurant but really worthy of a visit! The management is friendly and the staff attentive, we had a very pleasant dinner here. Since there were three of us we had the 3-person tasting menu accompanied by a typical Persian beverage (a bit yoghurt-like, but more sour), and every single dish was lovely. Included in this were two different aubergine-based starters which were so full of flavor and delicious, probably my favourites. When we finished the starters we were already pretty full so we had a taste of the mains (three different kinds of marinated and grilled meat, all very nice and accompanied by three varieties of rice), and luckily we got to take the rest home (it was also very nice to eat after a couple of days). Great spot!

Everything is amazing. The food is very very delicious. We had vegetarian and non vegetarian options. We also had dough and shirazi salad l. The veg plate for 2 people is big with delicious options. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it. The team is great and friendly: go for it !

Restaurant with welcoming family atmosphere and very tasty food!

Amazing food and experience! I recommend making a reservation, it is often full.

Slechte kwaliteit tegen hoge prijzen. Voorgerecht dolmeh (gevulde wijnbladen zijn uit blik. Kashkeh bademjoon is heel erg vet met gebakken uien uit een zak. Mirza gasemi smaakte niet goed en zeker niet home made. Kaokoo sabzi had geen aguruken en toen we om vroegen kregen we die tegen €8 erbij. Kebab koobide was niet lekker . Smaakte niet naar kebab koobideh. Barg en joodje waren beide droog. Mast o mooisr had nauwelijks moosir. Voor 124€ voor 2 hebben we veel lekkerder elders gegeten. De hoge scoren en goede recensies snappen we totaal niet. .

Delicious meal with friends, good service and tasty Persian dishes.

If you are looking for authentic and high-quality Persian food, this is the right place. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend.

A real persian food in the middle of Europe. Very welcoming staff plus delicious foods.

+++ delicious authentic Persian food made by grandma and grandpa

Amazing food mixed gril, fesenjoon, oat soup,kashk bademjoon everything was just very delicious and fresh, very warm & friendly staff

Best persian food in The Hague!!!

Delicious food and a beautiful restaurant

Wonderful family owned Iranian restaurant. The owners and waiters are super friendly, the atmosphere is great, the food is delicious. Book because it's very busy even on weekdays. Looking forward to returning asap.

Fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal. A great atmosphere, friendly service, highly recommended. I discovered the Taste of Persia 5 years ago if not 6 years ago and I still enjoy going there and also enjoy taking away. I did a tour of Persian restaurants in The Hague and this one is by far the best

Delicious and nostalgic food It has excellent quality

Ate here with Iranian friends. Was delicious. Very large portions. My friends went home with a sturdy doggie bag. In any case, try the refreshing yogurt mint drink.

The food was delicious and the service was super good! The owner helped us very well. We will definitely come back!

Very good Persian food! Meat was tender and juicy. Friendly family business in a prime location in Den Haag. The portion sizes are good and I am looking forward to coming back for the stews next time!

The meat is really wonderfully seasoned. The starters are also good

The best chicken kebab in town, moist and seasoned to perfection, also the fesenjoon is the best again with chicken. Very friendly. Its a small cozy restaurant with a simple Interior

Delicious food, good atmosphere and nice staff. Definitely recommended for those who want to taste something different!
