I came to Sunderland in 2018 and learned about the restaurant from my friends. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I returned in 2019 and invited my family to visit and the food was of the same level and quality. I came back 5 years after my first visit and Shandy's is still the same. The best Persian restaurant in England Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Had a great lunch with friends on their recommendation. From now on I'll be going here every time Whenever I want to have a good time with good meal. Absolutely amazing tastes to the food and amazing value. It was my first time the waitress was really helpful and patient. We were given a small bowl of complementary lentil soup to start with, then had Kashk-Ebademjan with a huge naan for a starter, followed by Half chicken and Chelo Khoresh Gaimeh Badamjan-lamb, Koobideh (kofta grill) which were absolutely delicious. We end up our meal with happy faces and this all cost us £34.5. Great value, amazing tastes very friendly waitress. Highly recommended.

Had Bakhtiary (cubed chicken and lamb on one skewer) which came with saffron rice. Added garlic chilli dips and a nan, all for under £20. Meat beautifully spiced and tender and nan was light and fluffy. Very nice pint of draught Poretti to go with it too. Often get something to eat before the match here and never disappoints. Service is always good and the restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere.
