DADDY BABA RESTAURANT - Food VIC

5 /5 Shirin Ghaffari: We visited this restaurant for lunch and were genuinely impressed by the overall experience. The ambiance was elegant, calm, and immaculately clean. Guests have the option of choosing between table seating or traditional seating, which adds a unique and authentic touch to the space. The staff were professional, courteous, and attentive, providing timely service without being intrusive. We ordered the Soltani Kebab and Chenjeh. The chenjeh was exceptional — beautifully marinated, incredibly tender, and cooked to perfection. It deserves a 5 out of 5 rating without hesitation. The koobideh was outstanding and, without exaggeration, the best koobideh I have had in Australia. The flavor and texture were excellent, earning it a 4.5 out of 5. The barg kebab was also of high quality — flavorful and tender — though I personally prefer it slightly more well done, so I would rate it 4 out of 5. The rice was soft, fragrant, and delicately infused with saffron. The bread served beneath the kebabs was excellent, and the accompanying salad was fresh, well-balanced, and very enjoyable. We ordered doogh as our beverage, which had an ideal consistency and a perfectly balanced taste. Overall, this restaurant delivers a refined dining experience with high-quality food and attentive service. I would confidently recommend it and look forward to returning.

5 /5 Sedi Salek: The first time was for our Yalda Night celebration, where we were a group of around 50–60 people. The service was very well-organised and fast, the food was incredibly delicious and high quality, and the staff were extremely polite, welcoming, and professional. The second time was after Sina Bateei’s concert, with a group of around 30–40 people — and once again everything was perfect: great food, great service, and a very warm and beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant has a lovely setting, very friendly staff, and is perfect for group gatherings, birthdays, and private events of up to 50–60 guests. You can even play your own music, and they have lighting and smoke effects available, which really adds to the vibe and makes the space feel special. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a great place for celebrations or group dinners — definitely worth trying!

5 /5 saina ghasemi: The kashk-e bademjan was genuinely delicious, and both the kobideh kebab and the chicken were excellent. The atmosphere was lovely and the place is very nicely designed. The only small suggestion would be that if the rice were authentic Iranian rice, the food would easily deserve a perfect 100% score. Overall, it was a very good experience and we were happy with the food.

5 /5 Mike Bahrami: We had an amazing Persian dinner at Daddy Baba! The kebabs were juicy, perfectly grilled, and full of authentic flavour especially the koobideh, which was tender and well-seasoned. The rice was fluffy with just the right touch of saffron, and the grilled vegetables and fresh salad added a great balance. We also tried the mirza ghasemi, which was rich, smoky, and delicious definitely a highlight. The portions were generous, and everything was beautifully presented. The staff were warm and friendly, and the service was fast and professional. It felt like a little taste of Iran right here in Melbourne. Highly recommend this spot if youre looking for quality Persian food and a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!
