Persisches Restaurant Nayeb - Köln

I went here with my Persian boyfriend and its been delicious. I was surprised by the diversity of the Persian kitchen. We chose the buffet which wasn't presented super fancy but tasted good nevertheless. The atmosphere was what surprised me most because it's been really familiar. And it's been quite busy even though we came there past lunch time. My boyfriend claimed that not all tasted like it does normally but all in all we've been pretty satisfied. Would go again.

I went to Nayeb with my friends for a Wednesday dinner. I've never had any Persian food, so was very much looking forward to the taste of Iran. The menu consists of fish / chicken / lamb dishes prepared in two ways - grilled or served in a thick sauce. I chose a pomegranate - nut gravy with chicken, accompanied by saffron rice. Maybe I could have chosen something different as the seeming interesting sauce turned out to be completely uninteresting, with no leading flavor. Very delicate meat though. I will come back though, as I am sure the restaurant has better things to offer. Friendly service and good prices.

I really enjoyed the food. Kashke bademjan for first course, kabab chenje soltani for main course. The food is plentiful and very tasty, reminded me of home (I'm Persian). Especially nice with mast o musir. Staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Altogether paid €50 for two people, including drinks and a tea on the house. Strongly recommend this restaurant!

The food is prepared by the cook, it's fresh and tasty. The service is friendly and nice. Prices are really reasonable. I will surely come back there one day.

Overall underwhelming experience. It's a Persian restaurant but you feel you could be eating food from anywhere in the world. Bland flavours and presentation and pricy, for what you are being served.
