Finding a great persian restaurant in Madrid is one thing. Finding one that is also halal, consistently rated 4.9 stars on TripAdvisor, and ranked in the top 100 restaurants in the entire city — that is something else entirely.

That place is PARSI.

Located at Calle Luisa Fernanda 8, steps from Plaza de España, PARSI has become the reference point for authentic Persian and halal dining in Madrid. Whether you are a Madrid local, a tourist, or someone searching for halal food near me on a Saturday evening — PARSI is the answer.

4.9 Stars on TripAdvisor — What That Number Really Means

A 4.9-star rating on TripAdvisor is not a marketing claim. It is the average of over 100 verified reviews from real guests who visited, ate, and chose to write about their experience.

At PARSI, that number reflects something specific: a kitchen that takes Persian food seriously, a team that understands hospitality, and a commitment to halal standards that never wavers.

Here is what our guests say:

“The best Persian food I have had outside of Iran. The Ghormeh Sabzi was extraordinary.”

Why PARSI Is the Best Persian restaurant & Halal Restaurant in Madrid

Halal dining in Madrid has improved significantly in recent years — but the gap between average and exceptional remains wide. PARSI sits firmly on the exceptional side, for reasons that go beyond the certificate on the wall.

Every ingredient is halal-certified
From the lamb in the Ghormeh Sabzi to the beef in the Chelo Kebab, every piece of meat served at PARSI comes from certified halal suppliers. No exceptions, no shortcuts, no ambiguity.

No alcohol in the kitchen
At many restaurants that claim to be halal, alcohol still enters the kitchen through sauces, marinades, or cooking wine. At PARSI, there is no alcohol on the premises — not in the food, not in the drinks, not anywhere.

Persian cuisine is naturally halal
Iranian food was never built around pork or alcohol. The flavours of Persian cooking — saffron, dried limes, pomegranate, herbs, slow-cooked meat — are rich and complex without any need for non-halal ingredients. PARSI does not adapt its menu to be halal. Persian food simply is halal, and we serve it the authentic way.

The Dishes That Define PARSI

Ghormeh Sabzi — Iran’s national dish
A slow-cooked herb stew with kidney beans, dried Persian limes, and lamb or beef. Prepared daily, never frozen, served with saffron rice. If you only order one dish at PARSI, make it this one.

Chelo Kebab — The Persian grill
Two versions: Koobideh (ground lamb and beef with onion and spices) and Barg (premium marinated fillet). Both grilled over charcoal, plated with saffron rice, grilled tomato, and butter. The benchmark of any serious iranian restaurant.

Fesenjan — Walnut and pomegranate stew
Slow-cooked chicken or duck in a sauce of ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses. Sweet, sour, and unlike anything else in Madrid. A dish that surprises every first-timer.

Ash Reshteh — Persian noodle soup
A hearty, warming soup of noodles, herbs, legumes and kashk, topped with fried onions and mint oil. Persian comfort food at its finest.

Mirza Ghasemi — Smoked aubergine
Roasted aubergine with tomato, garlic, turmeric and egg — a smoky, flavourful dish that works as a starter or a vegetarian main. One of the hidden gems of Persian cuisine.

Persian & Halal — Two Words That Belong Together

For the Muslim community in Madrid and for halal-conscious visitors from around the world, PARSI offers something that is genuinely rare: a restaurant where halal is not a compromise or an afterthought, but the natural foundation of everything on the menu.

Persian culture and Islamic tradition have been intertwined for over a thousand years. The food reflects that history. At PARSI, you are not eating a halal version of something — you are eating the original.

This matters to our guests. It matters to us too.
