Tasty food and cozy vibes - Edit
I'm so glad Shirin is open again! As a vegan, you get a combination of stuffed vine leaves, falafel balls, safran rice and salad (and a tiny piece of flatbread). Everything tastes super good! The portions are huge but it's mainly rice, so you could share a main dish and get extra sides. Prices are good and the service is very friendly. At the end of the meal, they offer tea and a date walnut sweet on the house!

Great value for money - Edit
The food is wonderful and the portions are rather large, even my ever-so-hungry friend was full afterwards. You get simple but tasty food. The whole restaurant is vegetarian with a few vegan options available. In general, the food is inexpensive but good. Lovely owner who gives out free tea and dates filled with walnuts. The only downside to this restaurant is that it's a rather small place, so it's a good idea to make a reservation, especially during winter when you can't sit outside. However, the food as well as the cozy atmosphere will make you return again and again!

Delicious! - Edit
I visited my friend who lives in Göttingen and she took me here, which is a place she frequented somewhat often. The host when he saw she brought a new friend along with her insisted that he serve us (free) tea, while we waited for our to-go order. What a truly wonderful little gem of a place. The next time I’m in town, I’ll definitely return, likely multiple times!

Favorite place to eat - Edit
This is the best vegan food in the whole town. Restaurant is fully vegetarian with most of the dishes also vegan. The food is sooo delicious, cheap and very fresh. The owner is always very kind. Big recommendation!

Very rich food! - Edit
The service was really nice, especially their nice gesture with dates filled with walnuts😄 I could hardly finish my plate and really liked the taste. Its great that they offer a lot of options even in one plate. I'd definitely recommend. But keep that in mind that it is a specific cuisine, so don't expect to find a lot of different tastes.

A big plate of bland rice - Edit
Overall found the food pretty bland. It was mostly rice with some sauce, falafel and salad - it all lacked flavor.

The veggie options are nicer than the vegan ones but they are all great - Edit
I used to eat here a lot while I was still vegetarian! Great platter with mixed thing on them I feel the vegan platters are sometimes a tiny little bit dry. Would still absolutely recommend this place

Small but lovely place to eat - Edit
Shirin is a nice little place in oriental style right in the city center of Göttingen. The owner is always nice and helpful.
Read moreIt offers self-made falafel and dolmades plates in some variations which are very tasty. The saffron rice that comes with it is amazing. Plates are served with some small side salads and yogurt dressing (vegan yogurt dressing possible). Plate sizes are big enough if you are hungry :)
It also offers tea and coffee and chilled beverages like africola or bionade.
Pros: vegan yoghurt dressing, fresh tea + sweets
Cons: small choice

Tasty Persian food - Edit
Shirin is a small coffee and snack bar in Göttingen's city centre. The owner is more or less a talkative handyman, cooking and serving a small choice of tasty Persian dishes. He's trying his earnest to make you feel welcome, and linked to his efforts he'll prepare almost every dish vegan for you. All dishes come with plenty of fresh salad. There's a vegan yoghurt dressing, vegan falafel and delicious saffron rice. It might seem like a vegetarian kebab booth first, but it is rather a small restaurant, using healthy and fresh ingredients.

Cons: Small choice, few seats
