The Iranian island of Kish, also known as the "Pearl of the Persian Gulf", was once an important port of call for trading ships on the Silk Road due to its location. This led to a combination of different cultural influences. This has also had an effect on Persian food culture: Oriental as well as Asian influences can be found here, and in the case of spices, similarities with Indian cuisine can also be noted. This culinary combination of different cultures is a real feast for the taste buds, which you can see for yourself in the restaurant in Frankfurt Bockenheim, named after the enchanting island of Kish.
With its more than 200 seats in a total of five rooms, Kish is one of the largest Persian restaurants in Europe, as owner Pourya Feily proudly tells us. The long tradition of Persian cuisine should be experienced here as authentically as possible. Of course, this also means that the guest immediately feels at home. This is not only possible due to the exotic cosiness of the interior, but also due to the very friendly and attentive service. After the feel-good factor is guaranteed even when the Kish is well attended, the question now arises whether the taste buds also get their money's worth here.
The answer is clearly yes! Whether at the lunch buffet, which offers a good selection daily between 11:30 and 15 o'clock, or with the dishes from the menu - here the offer convinces with good ingredients and a harmonious coordination of the spices. It is very positive that the spices - especially saffron - give the dishes a very special note, but never completely dominate them. Thus, all the individual ingredients can develop their flavor well and harmonize perfectly with each other.
Particularly popular with diners are the grilled dishes such as chelo bakhtiari, a mixed grilled skewer with pieces of lamb back fillet and chicken breast fillet, or chelo kabab torsch, pieces of lamb back fillet marinated in saffron sauce with a delicious pomegranate sauce. But of course the menu also has some vegetarian dishes, various salads or spicy sauce dishes to offer. And a sweet conclusion in the form of desserts such as Persian glass noodle ice cream or baked Persian dates with saffron ice cream and cream may not be missing, of course.
For those coming in a group of several, it is recommended that you order the various platters offered on the menu. Appetizer platter, side platter, main course platter or dessert platter offer the perfect opportunity to try your way through the many facets of Persian cuisine. Clearly, if Kish Island is the pearl of the Persian Gulf, then Restaurant Kish is the pearl of Bockenheim - and clearly a real Frankfurt tip!
