This is a great place for Iranian food. Very friendly staff always with a big smile. You should definitely try pistachio soup and tas kebap.

Most authentic Persian food - try their kebab koobideh. The best service you will ever get in Dubai! They’re super polite, helpful, and attentive.

Loved the food here. It was my first time trying iranian food and this place blew me away.
Really amazing and clean food and very courteous people

Faloodeh with Bastani Sonnati: 5/5
 
Persian ancient frozen vermicelli dessert topped with Persian Saffron Clotted Cream Ice Cream to die for.The Ceremonial comes with a two glass Carafe. One filled with Rose Water and the second one with fresh Lemon Juice.

These are poured on the Frozen Vermicelli before you mix the whole lot while trying to avoid the pesky flying spoons militarized by the powers that be.

Just a simple Royal Persian early dinner.
We cannot wait for an Encore.

I cannot think of rating this place with a point less than 5. From the very first moment you enter, you are greeted very warmly and to the last moment you feel that staff is always thinking on behalf of you.
Some minor but very valuable examples from staff:
* Proactively brought additional table for more comfort
* Proactively offered to keep our main course hot in the kitchen since we were busy with our baby
* Explained menu in detail and brought tablet for pictures
* Changed plates before main course

Regarding food; they served complimentary yoghurt with mint (cacik in Turkish/tzatziki in Greek cousine) which was the one of the most delicious I ever had. Again complimentary, they brought a huge platter of fresh vegetables, fruit and walnut.

Starter we ordered Halim Bademjan which is a hot dish with eggplant, chickpeas and lentil. It was really a different taste. I was happy to have tried.

We ordered kebab sultani with 2 pieces of huge meat; one fillet and one kebab with huge portion of rice as side. This was more than enough for two; we could not finish. Fillet was great, kebab could have been more spicy for my taste but it was still nice.

One thing to improve might be adding photos to menu since it is not very self-explanatory.

I didnot have time for desserts and tea which was perfectly presented as I saw on other tables. I am looking for my next visit here soon.

The view and decor are magnificent. Congratulations to Mehran Samadpoor and his team for their success in setting up perhaps the best Persian restaurant in Dubai and for adding their artistic touch to Persian cuisine by creating dishes like pistachio soup. The kebabs are the best we ever had and Ghelye Mahi is to die for.
Our sincere thanks to Ms. Shiva and her colleagues who made it a memorable launch for us with their top notch hospitality.

Good menu selection and a great location and view. Service standards are exemplary. Any issues are addressed immediately. Bahar makes sure you leave full and happy! Special thanks to Caren for her attentive service. Will return!

I was the best Iranian experience I had ever. The food, place, view, service... etc. all were perfect .
I would like to repeat again soooooon 😀

Bahar is my new favorite fine-dining Persian restaurant. The flavors are authentic + the X factor that makes it 'umph'. Great ambience, great service and the food is exquisite. While I have had better lamb chops at Anar, Bahar's chops are delish too. I won't recommend a particular dish because whatever we tried was good so go with your "gut" feel. Parking is available for the customers so don't worry about Marina's lack of parking space. Last but not least, the prices are relatively fair since they do not serve booze (hence no taxes) while Anar and Shabestan are more expensive due to the booze and their more premium locations.

A must-go for a quality Persian experience.

New Iranian restaurant that has a lovely view specially during the day. Food was great specially the meat on charcoal grill "manghal" . I would also like to highlight the fabulous service we received and we're very well taken care of . Special thanks to a particular staff - Mr Ghani for such a great service! Great attitude , always attentive to us !

(An excerpt from my blog)When you don’t know anything about Persian cuisine you go with the flow. Luckily I am always willing to learn and I have a weakness for good food. It is why I love to travel and explore new countries and opportunities. On this occasion I got to meet what could arguably be the first man in Iranian cuisine in Dubai, Chef Ebrahim.

Soon after we discuss the commonality of spices and aromas, a new freshness envelopes the air around the Dubai Marina. This is a new venue so the staff is pottering about as guests come and go. It is set in La Verda Suites and Villas. We see most people talking in Arabic and a mix of Persian, so many words are similar to Hindi. Could it be a meeting of new cultures all in one spot? Or could it be that we found common ground?  
For me, most memories come from food. It seems as if Chef Ebrahim with 35 years experience in the food industry feels the same. “When it comes to our food, we make sure it is never too spicy and always easy to digest,” says the Chef. His assistants come to pour out a tomato based chicken gravy which is cooked with Ivy gourd, (commonly referred to as Tendli in India). There is another green chicken gravy which is slow cooked for a while to tenderise the meat.

This new Persian cuisine venue, called Bahar, has both outdoor and indoor seating options. We chose to enjoy the view of people walking past on a quiet Saturday evening. Dubai always charms me, no matter how many the day or season. Right now we are enjoying such glorious weather and we can see the canal light up in front of our eyes.

“After working at all the top hotels in this city, we decided to set up Bahar here. It is already getting customers from around the world and that makes us happy,” says the chef.

The waiter brings us an aromatic display with the Kabab E Sultani. It’s a lamb fillet cooked on a charcoal grill with other pickled vegetables. We also try the Kabab E Kubideh another lamb delicacy. “We can customise our dishes according to the guest’s taste,” explains the chef who sources most of his ingredients from the local market.

He rushes to the kitchen to oversee what is going on. Meanwhile my attention is transfixed on a plate of rice that comes in to arrest everyone’s attention. Mind you, the rice isn’t decked with a thousand embellishments, all it is scented with is the aroma of saffron.

We ask the chef to indulge in a few house secrets, “Most people will tell you that the highest quality of Saffron comes from Spain, India or any other part of the world. We actually believe comes from Iran,” says the chef. “I make sure we only buy the best. We use it generously. In fact we use the petals and mix them with rose water and boil this for many hours before using it in many of our dishes.”

It is hard to pay attention to all the finer details. Thankfully we haven’t ordered too much because a second visit seems necessary. There are many vegetarian options and one prepared with eggplant just literally melts in my mouth. We listen to the sounds of food being prepared indoors. The language is not familiar but there’s a harmony of cultures everywhere.

Suddenly a platter of saffron infused fillet Mignon arrives. Not particularly Persian is my first thought. I soon realise that this is adapted to the surroundings. It is accompanied by a large blue pot of herbal tea. “We like to serve our guests every little bit of heaven,” says Ghani, the Indian waiter who has faithfully followed the chef over the course of an illustrious career. Tea water is poured in to a tulip shaped glasses and a sugar infused saffron stick is kept at the side. Now I know why my own father says that the Shah of Iran drank White Tea. My own family back home deals with White Tea and I’m only beginning to learn its many calming effects.

As we leave the premises I am sure to return to this warm and hospitable place that is only beginning to share its magic.

Being a new restaurant (opened in Feb of 2017) the cutlery, tables, chairs etc.. were in great condition. The location is in a hotel, and you get a nice view of the marina and see the people walk/jog past by.
We were a party of 5 and we ordered the halim badenjan (which was very good), the boneless joje kabab, the humur fish and the bakhtiari kabab. All were very tasty. The only fault that I could find in the food was the fact that the rice was basmati and not Iranian rice. But then again I have yet to find an Iranian restaurant in Dubai that serves Iranian rice and not basmati. 
for deserts, we ordered the fallodeh and some tea. The fallodeh was ok, but nothing to write home about. I would suggest the fallodeh from Afrina in Dubai as it does taste better. On the positive side you get a big pot of tea and much to my surprise it was complementary.
The service was also very good, however at times we felt as if were being pushed too fast. We were barely done with our food and the staff came to ask if they could collect it. Felt like they were being monitored too much. 
All in all, if you are fan of Persian cuisine, I highly recommend this place. It is better than places such as Abshar, Pars and Farsi by a mile.

A new Persian restaurant in Marina with excellent food, service and view. We really enjoyed the food the pistachio soup was something new and it's a must try. The kebabs were really good but the fish curry was excellent.

Bahar is Dubai’s newest Persian-Iranian restaurant. And it very well could turn out to be one of Dubai’s best. Located on the water-front level of the La Verda Hotel in Dubai Marina, diners enjoy an expansive view of the marina canal. The interior is tastefully decorated in colours of the peacock throne with an abundance of rich turquoise everywhere, and a delightful collection of Persian princesses adorning many of the walls. Brainchild of Mehran Samadpour, whose past exploits include Shabestan and Anar, Bahar was conceived to represent contemporary Persian cuisine. Adding to Bahar’s impressive pedigree, Mehran brought across Master Chef Noroozi from Shabestan. Noroozi brings a treasure chest of experience and authentic recipes to the Bahar kitchen.

Great view in Dubai marina, wonderful food especially the kebab, really nice decor, friendly staff and best place for family visit,
