Editor’s Note
Last updated 6 Nov 2026
Our take: Shabestan offers a taste of Persian cuisine with a scenic riverside setting.
We note consistent praise for the food, particularly the grilled meats like the Lamb Polo, Beef skewers, and chicken wings, which are frequently described as flavorful and grilled to perfection.
The menu, often supported by pictures, is helpful for those new to Persian dishes.
While the atmosphere is generally considered pleasant, enhanced by Iranian music and occasional belly dancing, there are recurring comments about service inconsistencies, particularly regarding initial seating and attention from staff.
Some diners have also suggested improvements to the rice texture and saffron levels in certain dishes like the Joojeh kebab.
However, the Faloodeh dessert receives positive mentions.
We think Shabestan is a solid choice for authentic Persian food, especially if you prioritize taste and ambiance over seamless service.
Expect to pay around $50-60 per person for a meal with drinks.

The riverside location and atmosphere, sometimes enhanced by a belly dancer, are also frequently enjoyed.
However, some patrons have noted inconsistencies in service, particularly regarding initial attentiveness, and suggest improvements for dishes like the joojeh kebab (more saffron, tenderness) and rice (less dry).
