Shabestan is a delightful restaurant located in popular dining hotspot Robertson Quay.\u00a0 Robertson Quay is frequented by expats, tourists and yuppies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The environ is pleasant,\u00a0 classy and ethnic. This Iranian restaurant faces Singapore River and plenty of trees line the riverwalk.\u00a0 The view is calming and the view alone, for me, warrants a visit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The kitchen is open and very clean.\u00a0 You can see everything that goes on in there and that includes how they make everything from scratch. Forget about microwaved rubbish here.\u00a0 This is a family business.\u00a0 The chef is the\u00a0owner’s brother. For a restaurant,\u00a0 yes!\u00a0 This is the best kind of restaurant to have.\u00a0\u00a0 It usually means they are hands-on about everything and don’t let standards slip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many beautiful artefacts around the restaurant,\u00a0 such as lamps and vases.\u00a0 The private dining room was absolutely beautiful.\u00a0 I thought it was fit for royalty.<\/p>\n

Soup-e-jow S$11<\/strong><\/p>\n

A delicious cooked mixture of barley, vegetables, herbs and chicken<\/em><\/p>\n

This soup sets the bar for me.\u00a0\u00a0 It was rich and creamy,\u00a0 but not too much.\u00a0 The little bit of sour cream and lemon that you squeeze into the soup adds that indefinable but crucial zest to the soup.\u00a0 I knew when the soup arrived and I saw that lemon wedge,\u00a0 I thought, “Ah, he knows that trick.”. The soup was a warming,\u00a0 perfect first course for that rainy day I tried the restaurant.\u00a0 The soup had bits of shredded chicken.\u00a0 Usually,\u00a0 I would have thought it was really cheap of the restaurant.\u00a0 They should have provided chicken chunks. But,\u00a0 as the soup was rich,\u00a0 I thought it was the perfect balance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kufte Parsi S$14<\/strong><\/p>\n

A delightful combination of Kufte-e-anar and Kufte tebrizi, made of fresh minced lamb, nuts and vegetables<\/em><\/p>\n

You will see 2 kinds of meatballs,\u00a0 one lighter and one darker.\u00a0 Both are made from lamb.\u00a0 The lighter was made with capsicum; the darker was made from pomegranate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Capiroska S$19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vodka, Fresh Mint, Lime, Sugar, Soda<\/em><\/p>\n

Tekeh Masti S$43<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tender beef fillet cubes marinated in yoghurt and Persian spices<\/em><\/p>\n

The beef was perfectly grilled, tender and had a bit of nice char aroma to it.\u00a0 Though it was delicious, it was not the most delicious thing on the plate.\u00a0 The most delicious thing was the rice!\u00a0 Surprise, huh?\u00a0 I don’t know how they did it, but it was the most delicious rice I have ever tasted.\u00a0 It was fragrant, fluffy and slightly buttery.\u00a0 The salad on the side was light, simple but a perfectly adequate balance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Montes Classic Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile (S$17\/ glass)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the palate, the wine is packed with raspberry and dark cherry fruit, with a prevalence of fruit over oak.\u00a0 Spicy and medium-bodied.<\/p>\n

Persian Saffron Ice-cream S$8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homemade special recipe ice-cream with pistachio, cream and saffron <\/em><\/p>\n

Another unexpected surprise.\u00a0 The saffron ice-cream was amazing!\u00a0 Usually, sweetness is balanced out by sourness (think Sweet and Sour Chicken, sherbet etc).\u00a0 Boring.\u00a0 Here, they are more creative—- the sweetness of the ice-cream was very nicely balanced out by the slight bitterness of the saffron.\u00a0 It was creamy and divine!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All in all, this was one of the best, if not the very best, restaurant I have dined in. Shabestan is definitely the best restaurant I have experienced in 2018.<\/p>\n
