Vegans beware

Food is good but be careful. There vegan menu is filled up with yogurt and cheese items. Someone need to educate them difference between vegan and vegetarian.

Pros: Vegan options available

Cons: Vegan menu full of non vegan options.

Amazing authentic veg persian cuisine options

Multi Award Winning, SG Finest Persian cuisine with exclusive Vegan & vegetarian menus! We were impressed with the top-notch food quality & services!

In order of personal favourite:
✅IMPOSSIBLE FASENJAN
Vegan meatballs made in house with impossible meat cooked in pomegranate sauce. Exquisite taste and interesting blend of flavours. The impossible meat is well cooked and seasoned. The gravy is flavourful and nicely spiced.
✅APPETISER PLATTER with Persian breads:
🔸️HUMMUS
Freshly cooked garbanzo beans blended with lemon juice, garlic, tahini and olive oil.
🔸️MUHAMARA
Made with walnuts, pomegranate, molasses, toasted bread crumbs, olive oil, roasted bell peppers & spices. ground to a paste. I love this the most, uniquely tasty!
🔸️HOMEMADE CHEESE
Chef's secret recipe. Topped with olive oil.
🔸️KASH-E-BADEMJAN
Mixture of sautéed eggplant, onion. mint and secret dressing
🔸️BORANI ESFANAJ
Fresh spinach with fried onion, garnished with sun-dried yoghurt and saffron. Very flavourful!
✅SABZI KEBAB
Charcoal grilled vegetarian kebab marinated with Chef's special recipe, served with seasonal fresh vegetables and homemade cottage cheese. The rice is so fragrant and goes very well with the kebabs.
✅FALAFEL
Fried dumplings of chickpeas served drizzled with BBQ sauce. Crunchy and dense, packed with goodness
✅TABOULI SALAD
Chopped parsley, onions, tomatoes and olive oil with couscous. Light and refreshing
✅SABZI POLO
Scasonal fresh vegetables with Persian herbs & spices. Biryani rice in hot claypot
✅BAGHLAVA

✅PERSIAN SAFFRON ICE CREAM

Persian foodie ! Yummmyummmmm

@shabestan.sg Persian foodie situation earlier. Dope. Restaurant located in Pier at Robertson, is a very spacious and have a good ambience. They do serve alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Perfect place to dine and have a stroll along river after , also perfect for max 8pax gathering haha😉. They serve non veg menu, vegan menu, veg menu (some dishes contain alliums hence do do check with staff for better reco/ customisation) and also gluten free menu. Perfect place for gathering with non veg/vegan friends!

We’ve tried...
🔹Vegan Impossible Fasenjan - ain’t this pretty! Love the pomegranate sauce on it! Awesome pairing!
🔷Veg Sabzi Kebab - grilled veges kebab marinated with chef special recipe and served with homemade cottage cheese - love the greeeens la! The rice so flavourful.
🔷Veg Sabzi Polo - Bryani served in claypot, seasoned with Persian spices & herbs - love the presentation! Pretty!
🔷Vegan Falafel- fried dumplings of chickpeas and they are soooo good. A must order reco from me!
🔷Tabouli Salad- chopped parsley, onions, tomatoes and olive oil. So goooood too! Green veges is a must!
🔷Veg Appetiser Platter- come in 5 chef recommended appetisers. We had 5 kind of spread including spinach, hummus and yoghurt. Perfect to go with pita bread! Loving this!
🔷Veg Middle Eastern Desserts - Baghlava & Persian Saffron Ice Cream. Sweet stuff for sweet tooth! Heh
🔷Kir Royal- my favourite tea there! So refreshing and comforting! Black currant taste and come in mesmerising elegant red colour.

Pros: Vegan menu, Vege menu but most contain alliums, Gluten free menu

Vegans catered for, but not ideal

Came here for dinner as I read about the separate veggie menu. Didn’t have time to try the starters, which I’m sure are great. As a welcome, got a little plate with hummus, cucumber and carrot sticks, olives and cherry tomatoes.
Ordered the falafel wrap combo as vegan version. Initially they brought it out with a yoghurt sauce, which they then replaced with ketchup. The falafel wrap was pretty full with falafel, salad and shaved cauliflower, but it was missing a sauce or two. I guess because I asked for it without dairy, but would have been fine with a tahini sauce and a bit of chilli sauce too. The service was friendly and the river side location good. Just found what i ordered a bit to dry and wish they would offer a mezze plate or that I had ordered it made up from the various vegan starters.

Very tasty Iranian food

Tasty Iranian with a separate vegetarian/ vegan menu.
Portions are generous .
Service can be slow though and since I don’t eat pita and asked for cucumber & carrot sticks I was charged extra for it ( normally in good middle eastern restaurants they offer both bread and vegetable stuck with dips).

Pros: Separate vegetarian & vegan menu, Tasty food

Cons: Expensive , Slow service , No gluten free replacement for pita
