1001 Nights Kitchen Taipei

Unclaimed

Great middle east food in Taipei. One price for all you can eat, delicious meaty food, salad, fruit, rice and chicken. Overall is great and value to money. To me the spice is a bit too mild, but still worth the price and experience to go for. The restaurant is famous with many people in queue, it's better to book the table in advance

Outstanding experience of first time eating Persian food in Taiwan. Persian restaurants are relatively rare around Taiwan but much more common in Australia. This Persian restaurant is a buffet restaurant which is special. I started to fall in love with Persian food when having a trip there. In the beginning, I ate a plate of Beef and Lamb Koobideh Kebabs and saffron rice. Saffron rice wasn’t the best but still very good. The Koobideh here was as juicy and tender as that I’d eaten in Australia. Chicken Koobideh was also juicy and the chilli sauce made it even greater. The chicken wing tasted nice and savoury. The Lamb Roast was much more tender than it looked, which was amazingly delicious. I also tried a small amount of Dill Shrimp Rice. The shrimps were good and the Dill rice tastes familiar somehow. In terms of drinks, saffron juice tasted kinda sour, sweet and similar to Passion Fruit and I liked it. Iranian Ice Black Tea was also great with liquid sugar added (liquid sugar was next to the Black Tea area). When it comes to desserts, I took 2 of each chocolate and original Fereni, a cream caramel, Muscati and coconut. All of these were great and Muscati tasted pretty sweet. The original Fereni was almost as fluidic as a drink, but the chocolate one was solid. In addition, they didn’t make Saffron ice cream today, but they got caramel ice cream instead and it was beyond my description. If you want a scoop of ice cream, you need to go to the bar and ask the staff. In conclusion, the price for this meal was $599 + $599*10% = $659. It’s cheaper than the ones in Australia. On top of that, the Persian restaurants in Australia are non-buffet restaurants and still more expensive. Overall, it’s a 9.5 out of 10! Unfortunately, there was no Faloodeh (Persian Lime and Rose Water Granita With Rice Noodles), which was my favorite Persian dessert in Australia. If there were Faloodeh, it would be 10 out of 10. But still definitely worth it to eat here again in the near future. The service, food and the atmosphere are all exceptionally good.

This Persian restaurant buffet in Taipei is a hidden gem. For 700 TWD ($30 CAD) per person, the food is outstanding – the closest taste to authentic Iranian cuisine I’ve had in the past 9-10 years. From the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the fragrant saffron rice and rich stews, every bite was a nostalgic trip to Iran. The flavors were spot-on, and the quality was exceptional. It’s amazing to see the restaurant packed with local Taipei residents, while we were the only Persian guests. A true testament to how well they’ve brought Persian cuisine to life here. 5/5 stars – delicious, authentic, and unforgettable!

Some dishes (lamb, eggplant, falafel, salmon, rice, desserts) are excellent, while the others are just ok, but overall the food and drinks are very good for the price.

We were craving for halal food and this seemed heaven to us. They had a good collection of halal Iranian foods with buffet options as well. We took a buffet offer and they Didn't disappoint at all. I'll recommend their meat items. One thing that I didn't like is the time of buffet. It's only 2 hours. May they extend the time a little for the customers. Btw they have belly dance shows as well. We ate to our hearts content.
