Came back to this lovely Persian restaurant after 3-4 years to celebrate the Wife’s birthday. Last time here was for dinner, with the belly dancer floating around! This time we were seated indoors due to the afternoon heat! Last few times were seated outside by the river which is lovely in the evening. It was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon ! The food was as good as we remembered it to be. Look forward to coming back here… sooner this time :-)

We went for a family lunch. The starters along with Persian bread were excellent. In the main course there was a delicious okra in gravy, falafel wrap and grilled vegetables, accompanied by rice. Service was prompt and courteous. The atmosphere was relaxed.

Prob the 4th or 5th time here. The food quality is extremely consistent. Would definitely recommend anyone to come! Tried the lamb polo for the first time on FRI. It's SO GOOD! The flavours of the spices meld together perfectly, the lamb was super tender... Perfection. As usual, the hummus was smooth, and perfect paired with freshly toasted Iranian bread. There was even a belly dancer going around the restaurant - not sure if it's a regular Friday night special, but was interesting.

We enjoy a spread of 3-Course Middle-eastern set lunch for $48++ per person. 🍷And we add on 2 hours of Toi Toi Sara’s Rose free flow for $40++ per person. Here what we ordered: ❤️ Kash-E-Bademjan ❤️ Borani Esfanaj ❤️ Fish Kebab -Well marinated with special saffron sauce, it is very fresh and flavourful ❤️ Chicken Masti -Marinated with yogurt and herbs, the chicken is tender and slightly charred given it’s fragrance ❤️ Dessert -We love the ice-cream with spice and the Pistachios The wine is good, with tinge of sweetness and hinge of dryness. We really enjoy our meal in a restaurant with such a serene environment right beside Singapore River.

One of the best dining experiences in Robertson Quay. Authentic slow cooked Persian delicacies. A bit on the expensive side but no match for the quality they serve.

The staff friendly and helpful, the chef also asking customer how was the food, the food taste good and the portion for 1 person its big, 1 main menu can share for 2 or 3 person. Good ambience and a lot variety of menu. The location is perfect.

flavourful and appetising Persian food! had an enjoyable alfresco dinner by the river with a very accommodating food attendant. the dessert was delicious but the faludeh shirazi was a tad too sweet for us. maybe next time will just stick with the saffron ice cream on top of the faludeh, sooo good. will go back to try more food on the menu!

The ambient was cosy and very. comfortable. The food was tasty, savoury and assumptious. The host Ying was very respectful, professional and passionate in her job. We felt like VIP the minute we enter the restaurant. We will definitely recommend our friends to visit and dine here. Thanks for being such a great host again

After 15 years, this restaurant sadly shows its age, lacking the charm and care it once might have had. Claiming to offer authentic Persian cuisine, the reality is a disappointing mix of flavors that lean more towards Indian than Persian. The kebabs, dry and tasteless, are a stark contrast to the rich flavors expected from Persian cooking. Equally disheartening is the rice – cold, undercooked, and lacking the basic essence of Persian culinary art. This establishment, once perhaps a bastion of authentic cuisine, now serves as a reminder of how far it has strayed from its original glory.

Flavourful middle-eastern cuisine, the dips were delicious. Nice al fresco dinning areas. Thank you, Ronny for the great host that makes our dinner wonderful. We appreciate your service.

Appetiser was ok, the hummus was nice. Others (eggplant, cheese and spinach) were left alone by the table at some point. Duck stew was abit heavy on the lemon side. Fish skewers tasted odd, seems like a low quality fish. Nice vibe, twice during the evening there was a lady performing belly dancing. Service was alright. Probably would not return if I could help it.

Shabestan’s Keto 3-Course Set Lunch exceeded my expectations! The variety and taste of each dish were remarkable. The flavors were both satisfying and aligned perfectly with my keto lifestyle. The ambiance added to the wonderful experience, making it a perfect spot for a healthy yet delicious meal. Highly recommend trying this if you’re a fan of flavorful, keto-friendly options!😋🥙

Food is great! We had Borani Esfanaj, Shandiz and Ghormeh Sabzi. Thats enough for two pax. We got a bit greedy and added Tekeh Masti. The dishes are really yummy. What makes it even better was the good service provided. We were given a complimentary brownie to celebrate my friend's birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience at the restaurant. Chef came to each table to make sure we had good meal!

Visited the restaurant for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant was spacious and nicely located beside the Singapore River. Service was good. The quantity of the main course is generous. Quality is good.

The food was amazing!! Highly recommend the Cold Appetizers Platter as well as the grilled Shabestan Platter. Compliments to the chefs!! Service was also top-notch. We had difficulties ordering for a group of 8 as it was the first time for some of us and we couldn’t really decide, but the recommendations given to us were fantastic. Everyone only had praise for the food and the service!! Thank you!! We will definitely be back!!

Huge compliments to the chef and the man of the match; Mr Arun. He went out of his way to ensure that the food, service and ambience was over and above the rest. He was uber helpful, attentive, warm and efficient. We had such an ace time hugely because of him. He is definitely an asset to the company. Thank you once again for having, we will definitely be back for more!

We ordered: Muhamara, Ghormeh Sabzi, Mixed Kubideh Kebab, Javaher Polo, Baklava for 2 pax. Servers were pleasant. Dip, rice, and stew were really good. Highly recommend the rice as it comes with nuts and fruits (Javaher Polo). Would have liked the kebab to be more grilled for the charred taste but that is probably a personal preference. The baklava was a bit disappointing (prefer the Turkish version). The Lebanese wine was very tasty as well. Book outside on a cool evening, very chilled as you sit right beside the water area. Environment is super nice as well.

Was tasked to source a place for small group gathering. The challenge was a mixed request for vegetarian, no pork, no beef, and cozy dining place. After immeasurable search, eventually I gave Shabestan a try, and it absolutely did not fail us! Everyone was so happy and super satisfied with the dishes. Meats were perfect! Tasty, succulent, tender, flavourful, truly representing finest Persian cuisine. Every single dish that we ordered was a knockout! Falafel, Dolme, Ash & E-jow soups, Platter & Lamb Shank (both bestttt!!!). Thanks for the service team also to refrain us from placing excessive orders, we appreciated & enjoyed the warm service and hospitality so much. Kudos, Shabestan!! We’ll meet again soon 👍🏽

We had lunch here and had a great experience. Service was excellent, (Abhishek was our server) food was delicious and prices were fair. Would recommend coming here to anyone who appreciates the Persian kitchen. As a half-Moroccan person I valued the spices used. I had the falafel as shown on the picture.
