We’ve tried many Persian restaurants, but this one is truly the best in Austin. The food is authentic, flavorful, and made with great care. The service is excellent—everyone is very polite, attentive, and respectful. You can really see they take pride in their work. We appreciate the amazing experience every single time. Highly recommended to anyone looking for real Persian cuisine

This was a very bad experience. Unfortunately, it was the worst koobideh and chicken kebab I’ve had in the U.S. The food quality was extremely poor.
The koobideh was awful, the chicken kebab had an unpleasant taste, and the barg was terrible. The barg meat tasted bad, had a strong unpleasant smell, and its color was off, which was very concerning.

I am Iranian and have been to many Iranian restaurants in Dallas, California, Houston, and other parts of the U.S., so I know what authentic Iranian food should taste like. I honestly don’t understand why this restaurant has a rating higher than 1 when the food quality is at this level.

Food was absolutely fantastic. Servic was great, too! Our host (and server) was very nice and attentive. The place looks okay, clean, but not too fancy. I would come back solely for the food.

Extremely disappointing experience – never again

We came to Shandeez last year and the food was decent, which is why we decided to give it another try this year. Unfortunately, this visit was an absolute disaster from start to finish.

I ordered Koobideh, and it was shockingly bad. It had no koobideh flavor at all and, on top of that, it was served cold. Completely unacceptable. We also ordered Mast-o-Moosir, which was overly sweet and barely had any moosir in it. It tasted nothing like it should.

We ordered Chicken Soltani as well. The chicken was extremely dry, and the kabab barg was also dry, stale, and tasted old. This is not the quality anyone expects from a Persian restaurant, especially one with this reputation.

But the worst part was the billing practice, which honestly felt insulting. After paying with a credit card, we noticed a note on the receipt saying that if you pay cash, it’s cheaper because you don’t pay the credit card fee. So instead of pricing their menu honestly, they quietly charge customers extra for using a credit card. That is ridiculous, unprofessional, and shady.

Overall, the food quality has gone downhill badly, and the pricing policy is just plain stupid. This place has clearly changed for the worse. I will not be coming back, and I strongly recommend others think twice before wasting their money here.

My favorite thing here was the different Kabab. The beef kabab, and steak kebab were my favorite. The chicken was good as well. I got the Khoresh ghormeh sabzi which was delishously lemony i poured it on top of my white rice. I also got the baba ghanoush, and mirza ghasemi appetizers. I used my pita bread for my appetizers, and to scoop up a few bites with my rice & sabzi. The persian ice cream is life changeing, so delishous. I also enjoyed cakes, and other deserts from the bakery which is next door, but you can walk in through the restaurant, there being no door or wall in between. Another time i came here, and got the soltani which was excellent as well.

This grill was my goto, but the quality of the food went down after a year and I saw cockroaches walking around takeout.

Never going back here again.

Came here for Preservation Austin's Legacy Business Month and wow this place was great. The service was incredibly nice, helpful, and quick, cannot commend them enough. All of the servings were large and full of flavor. Everything we ate was delish! Highly recommend the kabobs, the mixed combo was a great pick to try different meats. It was nice and quiet inside, made it very easy to have a conversation. Will be returning!!
