I don't wanna get angry at you, it's crowded so just tell me what you want" Never have I ever experienced this kind of behaviour at a restaurant especially not at Persian restaurants. Unacceptable! We ended up going to another Persian Restaurant ( Daarband) also located in Amsterdam and it was amazing there. I'm glad we didn't stay at Shandiez and we didn't accept this rude behaviour. So just keep in mind instead of going to Shandiez just go...
