Share platters. Consider sharing a mixed-grill platter: one diner found the platter for two generous enough for four.
Expect extras. Check what is included with your order; reviews mention free bread, soup and salad, plus fresh herbs at the start.
Try shisha. If you want to linger after eating, ask about the separate shisha areas rather than assuming all seating is mixed together.
Sunday music. For traditional entertainment, consider a Sunday visit, when one reviewer reported live Persian music.
Check lunch deals. Ask about the business-lunch option if you are visiting midday; one review reported it at Aed 45.
Plan the visit
One diner reported extremely dirty restrooms, including a wet floor, missing paper and an unpleasant smell.
A negative review described inattentive service and slow responses to simple requests.
Food feedback is not entirely consistent: one diner found the barg kebab good but the kobideh noticeably off.
A business dinner was disrupted somewhat by noise from a birthday party, although the atmosphere remained lively.
One reviewer felt the food was overpriced relative to its quality and portion size.

The Bottom Line
Farsi Restaurant is a Persian dining spot in Al Muteena where the clearest draw is its Iranian grill cooking. Mixed-grill platters, juicy kebabs, saffron rice and traditional rice dishes such as Zereshk polo chicken appear repeatedly in the reviews. It is a useful choice when you want a filling shared meal rather than a light bite.
The portions can be surprisingly large: one diner said a platter for two was enough for four. Several reviews also mention complimentary soup, salad, fresh herbs and hot sangak bread, while barley soup, Iranian tea and saffron ice cream give you easy ways to round out the meal. Indoor and outdoor seating, separate shisha areas and reported live Persian music on Sundays add options for a longer evening.
Service is usually described as warm, attentive and helpful with recommendations, and a vegetarian diner appreciated the care given to her preferences. There are some cautions. One recent review reported dirty restrooms, slow responses and tough, bland meat, while another found the food inconsistent between barg kebab and kobideh.
A birthday party also made one dinner noisy. If value matters, ask about the reported Aed 45 business lunch and check what complimentary sides accompany your order.
