    Good ambience, the kebabs was not served with any sauce to go along- so found it a bit dry, though taste was good.

    Description

    More than a decade ago, Shabestan was established with a deep passion for bringing the rich, authentic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine to Singapore. Located along the scenic Robertson Quay, our journey began in 2013 with a vision—to offer the best Middle Eastern food in Singapore, inspired by centuries-old Persian culinary traditions and warm hospitality.

    At Shabestan, we take pride in serving over 20 varieties of our signature kebabs, including the popular Kubideh and Jujeh, grilled to perfection just as they would be in Tehran’s bustling markets. Every dish is crafted from scratch using premium ingredients like delicate saffron, pomegranates, prunes, and aromatic Middle Eastern spices, delivering an unforgettable dining experience.

    Recognized as one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in Singapore, we cater to a diverse range of dietary preferences. Our menu features thoughtfully curated vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, ensuring that everyone can savor the richness of Middle Eastern cuisine. While we serve only Halal meat, we are not Halal-certified as we also offer an exquisite selection of fine wines and spirits to complement your meal.

    Shabestan has become more than just a Middle Eastern restaurant; it is a gathering place for locals, expatriates, and travelers to indulge in authentic Middle Eastern food and culture. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a casual dinner, or looking for the best Middle Eastern food near you, every visit to Shabestan is a journey into the heart of Persian hospitality.

    Nowruz

    Shabestan, a renowned Persian fine dining restaurant, has been celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year, for several years. Marking the arrival of spring, Nowruz symbolizes renewal, joy, and prosperity and is deeply rooted in Persian heritage. To honor this occasion, Shabestan transforms into a festive haven with traditional Haft-Seen displays, featuring seven symbolic items that represent life, health, and abundance—such as sabzeh (sprouted wheat for rebirth), senjed (dried oleaster fruit for love), and seer (garlic for protection).

    This year, Nowruz celebrations commence from 19th to 23rd March. Guests can indulge in a specially curated Nowruz menu, featuring authentic festive delicacies such as Kokoo Sabzi and sweet treats like Kunafe. The warm and elegant setting, coupled with these cherished flavors, makes Shabestan the perfect place to experience the true spirit of Nowruz in Singapore.

    The Buzz

    "Freshly barbecued spring lamb, spiced chicken, succulent tender beef fillet and even fresh tiger prawns, all cooked in traditional middle eastern spices, are prepared to order in their show kitchen and form the centre piece for any Persian feast." -Great New Places

    "Also, important to note that while main dishes (kebabs and stews) tend to be meat orientated, many of the starters and sides are vegetable-based, and honestly, sound delicious enough to catch the eye of any fervent meat-eater, so this is a great spot to take any vegetarian friends." -City Nomads
