S AApril 7, 2019All the grilled food is just amazing. You cannot go wrong with anything you order here. Went for the grilled meat (chelo kubide). Will definitely visit again.

Abdullah AlbrahimAugust 11, 2014Great food and priced well. Plates are really big 1 mix grill for 2 is enough for 3 ppl. 2 main dishes are enough for 3 ppl. Overall good. Highly recommended

Portions are very large for most people (not me) - you can order mixed plater for 3 to share within 4 people. They don't serve alcohol. Take away is available. Lambs are very soft and delicious!Upvote1Downvote
Ants SmithMarch 11, 2014Brilliant! Really tasty food, go for the mixed grill and try to book in advance because it is extremely popular with the Iranian community!Upvote1Downvote- Luke Averroes CroxfordAugust 13, 2023Great table and takeaway service. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Very generous portions size. doesn’t use too much butter in the dishes.UpvoteDownvote
- Krista BookerOctober 13, 2013Try the mixed grill or if you choose mains be aware they are huge servings, enough for two. Accompany your meal with their delicious Persian tea.UpvoteDownvote
Order the lamb stew with the beans and preserved lemons and prepare to be blown away. Extraordinary.Upvote1Downvote
Lujain AbaHussainAugust 28, 2019You may chose any 5 appetizers and have them served in a platter - their fresh bread is something else ♥️

Maria PilkingtonNovember 3, 2013Great food - massive portions. Very hot inside though. Oh and if you order a mango drink, it comes in a jug, so enough to share round!UpvoteDownvote
A feast for a king - at a good price! Get the bread cooked fresh in front of you. A main platter will feed about 4, not just 2 like the menu says!Upvote5Downvote- Best Persian food in London, for my money. Fried aubergine starter is sublime.UpvoteDownvote
David GiustiAugust 14, 2013Food is great, but don't order off the full menu at lunch. I ended up with the same plate as the special, but at a 4 EUR premium. (Possibly a bit larger.)UpvoteDownvote

Pepo LopezSeptember 3, 2013Good food, prize and service. Don't let them sit you next to the kitchen. So busy.UpvoteDownvote- Charlie HunterSeptember 12, 2013The mixed grill for 3 is great value for money and very tasty too.UpvoteDownvote

"A true authentic Iranian food restaurant! The service is good and the price is incredibly low.. Try Ghormeh Sabzi (stew) and ask for TahDig (rice crust) which is not written in menu!"
