Exceeded my expectation about this restaurant. Well prepared food with good portions.
First class atmosphere.
This place is so magical, How cool is that?! The food was so delicious!.
Not appropriate price based on portion and quality and taste
Impolite and not trained personnel
I won't come again and I don't suggest it to others
Kebab is good but the goose stew is realy bad, very salty, burned, untasty
Very Attentive and Polite Staff . Decent Portion Sizes , and presentation.
Tasty, soft and pleasant kabab and delicious gheime near, as good as always
If you want to taste the best Iranian cuisine, I recommend Mohsen Restaurant. I'm a big fan of their dishes, especially Albaloo Polo (rice cooked with sour cherry) and Shirin Polo (rice with oranges). The atmosphere is very friendly, and the waiters are very polite.

Very good, authentic persian food. Atmosphere was traditionally persian and very pretty. Service was perfect.
Strongly recommend!
If you want to have a reasonably priced meal in a comfortable environment with reasonable cleanliness in Babolsar area, I recommend this restaurant. The food is of good quality and reasonable price, and you can use self-service.

The atmosphere was old-fashioned and traditional, but the location was great. All the dishes and appetizers were excellent, and the staff's service was outstanding.

It’s a bustling restaurant with a generic Iranian style restaurant atmosphere which I don’t quite like but if you’re coming in for a delicious food not the scenery you’ll be satisfied. Gheyme nesar was beyond my expectations and OMG their Salad, tasted like nostalgia!

A very beautiful and traditional-Persian atmosphere. The service was good and the food delivery was super fast. Food quality was alright, i ordered Barg Kebab and i enjoyed it. The price could be concidered kind of high but that's the price in almost every traditional restaurant now, i suppose. In general i liked the experience and might go there again^^

A perfect place for dining
Good for introducing Iranian dishes to your foreign guests
The restaurant is over rated, the food quality was mediocre, most of the personnel were not very friendly and hospitable. We expected much more based on what we paid.
We were treated to a meal at Mohsen Restaurant, the service was efficient and the ambience was good and food was outstanding, the rice was so delicious and I had the tastiest kabab Koobide va barg... I throughly enjoyed this experience.

Ample indoor seating; very crowded; touch & go environment; quick service; polite staff; clean tables; great food; sufficient portions. Don't miss Gheimeh Nesār and Lāri Kebab. Totally recommended!

It is very peasant and joyful for me to dine in here, specially its nostalgic for me
The "Jojeh Torsh" was delicious, but not sour enough. "Kabab Barg" was also good. The "Fileh Gosfandi" was really excellent, soft and tasty. The best of all was the "Fesenjon Morgh" which tasted really good.
It was a good experience overally, kebabs were fine. Shishlik kebab was a bit dry and bitter, Loghme kebab lacked salt but Lamb kebab and Barg kebab was really nice. Season Salad was disappointing compared to main course. Soup was fine, Receptionists and waiters were really kind and patient. I do recommend this place.
The atmosphere was good,
Not only Prices was too high, but also the quantity of foods was low.
But the quality was good enough.
I recommend "anarbij" (اناربیج) dish

Very good food but this restaurant has the most primitive payment method I have ever seen. We wanted to order food to be delivered to us but making the payment was literally like pulling teeth. Nice and helpful staff though. Food seems to be overpriced.

Comparing with Nayeb Saee branch, it is one level weaker I suppose
Overallu, dishes are made well done and they were delicious 😋
After Nayeb Saee, Morshed and Alborz, I ranked this forth
Lovely food
Great atmosphere
I just go to Babolsar for Mizban

The worst food I have ever ate. When we reported to the manager he replied rudely not recommend it at all expensive and low quality
Mizban restaurant is very famous in town. We had dinner twice during our trip to Babolsar and tried different dishes.

I liked Jooje Torsh and Kebab Torsh the most. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Although the prices of some dishes might be high, the quality of the food is satisfying and everything is tasty.
Highly recommended!

Not only is it of very high quality, but it also has the best ratio of quality to price (at least in Tehran). In addition, it has a very good packaging.

We ordered the Soltani Chelokebab. Service was good but the quality of food and meat wasn’t as expected from a Nayeb restaurant. Not worth for the money!
The restaurant has been working for almost 25 years.The foods that i've had were very good. The price is rasonbale, the staff are polite and the place is clean and cosy. The only problem is finding a good parking place, in my opinion.

One the best Kebab restaurant in Tehran

Very nice quality, super tasty 👌
One of the best places in Qazvin to have Gheimeh Nesar. We also tried Kebab and it was fantastic. The staff are polite and friendly. Quite expensive but totally worth it.
Highly recommended
They have different kebabs and Persian foods, but their special is a local dish (from Qazvin) called Gheyme'h Nesar. It's a mixed rice with meat stew, almond and pistachio and orange peel pieces. The meat was perfectly cooked with good flavor and full of spices. The quality of food was great. In general, it was a clean restaurant. It is very well-known in Qazvin. The price was also fair.

Absolutely no doubt the best Kobideh I've ever tried. There are few Nayeb restaurants around Tehran, I don't know about others but this location in Saadat Abaad is well organized, clean, staff very professional. My wife and I got there around 9pm, that day I didn't have time for lunch so was extremely hungry, therefore ordered Soltani for myself and my wife kabab Loghmeh. Our server politely explained that 3 skewer of kobideh and one Barg for two of us might be too much which I rejected the idea right away. What a mistake between my wife and I we could finish only two skewers in total (of course we had couple of appetizers to start which we always have them wherever we eat out but it was the first time for me not being able to finish my plate). Kabab Barg was just ok but Kobideh was beyond this world both taste and size wise. It was easily 50% bigger than the biggest one I have had before and it did melt in the mouth. If I go next time, for sure will skip Barg and go for kabab Loghmeh and will try my best to finish it up.

It has good food for its price and the chickens I tried were delicous. It has a good place to eat your food.
There is also a parking space so you do not have to worry about parking your car. It also has a clean place and suitable packaging

+ Food quality is awesome.
+ Staff are well trained and caring.
+ Price is reasonable.
+ This branch is located in a cozy area but consider that for lunch time you should enter to traffic restricted zone.
+ keeping a business for over 100 years and satisfying people expectations is hard but "Nayeb" know how to do it!

we got the "shalizar" dish. The koobideh kebab smelled. Jooje was good. I did not like nor of the aloo mosama and sour chicken stew. The salad bar is expensive. Not recommended overall
Mahtab restaurant which I can say it is real 5 star becauce of Pro waiters, wonderful aincent Iranian design and most of all delicious food.
One of the best places you can get the best service and quality for a fair price. Owner is such a nice gentleman who cares about customers. Definitely will be back.

I think this restaurant needs a huge improvement in food quality. We were here almost two weeks ago and ordered Siniye Shalizar and Akbar joje. Joje kabab and Kobideh were terrible. But Tare khoresht was perfect. Ghore mosama again was not good. Akbar joje was ok.
Both quantity and quality of foods were below averages

Within this price range we have plenty of perfect restaurants in tehran
روزگاری این مکان دیسکو دانسینگ کیج بود ، جایی که ابی و شهرام شب پره تو فیلم بوی گندم اونجا میرن ، تا سالها دست نهادهای امنیتی بود و دوباره این ذستوران راه افتاد و به امید روزی که دوباره اسمش بشه کیج

One of the best Iranian food restaurants in Yazd, the place is alright. The food is great. It has self service salad and soup and literally the best sauce you can imagine.
It was crowded & hot.The menu was good.We orderd ''Gheyme nesaar''.It was delicious.
تمیزه ولی کیفیت غذاش در اون حد تعریفی نیست:
یه وقتایی سوپهاش بقدری ترشه که معده رو داغون میکنه، انگار که بجای آبلیمو، اسید صنعتی توش ریخته باشن.

کیفیت غذاهاشون همیشه ثابت و عالیه، یکمی پر چربه چون روغن خوب کرمونشاهی استفاده میکنن اما بسیار خوش طعمه
بسیار عالی بود غذای واقعا عالی من در زمینه رستوران ایرانی و غذای ایرانی خیلی تجربه دارم و جاهای زیادی رفتم میتونم بگم جزو بهترینها بود مواد اولیه مرغوب در غذا مشهود بود احساس میکنم زمانی برسد که این رستوران اسمش آوازه زبان ها بشود

Really nice and quite environment with good food (I woudn't say its's great). It's a good place to have a good and relaxed lunch or dinner.
The main problem is that English menu has wrong prices and they don't notify you, so you have a surprise when you ask for the bill. We had to complain and insist it was not our problem to have the bill rectified.

I highly recommend this restaurant special for tourists. The atmosphere is really cozy and relaxing also you can feel the Iranian traditional house style.
Every where is beautiful even the toilet 😂
To be honest I'm a tour leader and this is a place that I always try to get the foreigners there caz it's exactly what a tourist want to feel.
Traditional place
Traditional foods
Traditional drinks (Which I highly recommend to try)
** Very good price.
In comper of the other restaurants in this style and this quality of service and foods its price is quite fine. Also the waiters are so polite and helpful.

*Sammary: Don't lose the chance to have a lunch or dinner here. You will love it.
Also there's some dishes for vegetarians and vegans. The Big Mixed starter is quite good you can try 3 traditional , pupular and tasty Iranian traditional foods in one dish.
Enjoy it 😊😊
Vibrant ambient and very polite and welcoming staff. Their Gheimeh-nesar dish was some thing amazingly scrumptious and the price is quite normal. They serve you a nice soup and an amazing Doogh. I definitely recommend it. Between 12 to 14:30 you need to stay in a long row. We managed to reach there about 15 and although they were going to close the restaurant they accepted us.
Great Iranian cuisine. Fabulous grilled meats and fruit drinks.

A very nice decorated place with relatively good food. I enjoyed Kebabs but rice wasn't very fresh. It was very quiet and there was no one else except us (we went at night. I've heard that it's most busy times are at lunch). The staff were nice and professional. You need to go down the stairs.

Very fast service with trained staff. Clean restaurant with nice atmosphere. Menu have Persian and International dishes. Absolutely we are coming back and highly recommended to try kebabs and traditional qazvini dish “ qeyme nesar”.
Over-priced with poor quality of kabob and rice (Zaferan on rice looked to be just red coloring). It used to be a good restaurant but after I tried it today, I will not go back there again.

If you are in Tehran and you are visiting niavaran palace or Darband or Tajrish, I suggest you to go to this very very beautiful restaurant serving true Iraninan local foods of northern Iran. The food is real homemade iranian delicious dishes which you will never taste other than you have a local chef at home. The menu is diverse and includes all kinds of foods for different tastes. The price is reasonable but very cheap compared with the quality. The ambience is traditional Iranian houses and there is live music at 8 PM. You may require to stand in line for available seats.

Decent food and caring staff. A perfect place, also, for people with access problems as there are very few steps. Nothing outstanding about food quality, though, and the parking area is far too small for the restaurant capacity.

I was taken here by my Iranian friends. It's a Iranian Restaurant which offers mostly Iranian dishes. Food was well cooked & it was delicious indeed. Rice, Kebabs, Salad, Olive oils, roasted lamb, everything was fine. We took lunch & there were lot of iranian families present there.
As, Restaurant has good space so it can handle rush hours.
Food is good compared to the price. I like the atmosphere and waiters are good enough. Maybe the quality is not as good as Saei branch but considering the price is Ok. Recommended

Old school Iranian kebabs with a relatively short and compact menu. The service isn't the best like most traditional chelo kebab restaurants but the food is very delicious if you're a fan of Iranian cuisine. It's gets a bit hectic on weekends though and it affects the service.
As a local, this is one of the best restaurants of this city. The food and service, both are good.

Best food specially test the cow Neck and Rice... Its traditional iranian food...
Not fancy but food is nothing short of perfection and in abundance. Parking is an issue (where isn't in this city) but food is awesome and service is fast
We got about $200 worth of food here (which is for about 20 ppl).
They were supposed to give us baghaly polo (fava bean rice) + mahiche (lamb shank).

We paid and they were supposed to ship them to our house. The food arrived and instead of lamb shank, it was all lamb neck! And not even a meaty meal. It was all bones.
So we had like 20 ppl sitting where with a pile of bones in front of them. What a shams.

We called the manager and he said "we were out of lamb shank. We are not refunding you. What can you do?"

I will never go to this place again.
