Super fantastic food all around. Fesenjaan, kabab koobideh and bargh were all phenomenal with wonderful torshi. Gorgeous light white rice with saffron blended in. And wow for the bakhlava and tea. Loved it and the service.

Family-run homemade Persian food. Loved that the food arrived piping hot. They gave us a plate of homemade baklava to go with our tea. Love it!

Absolutely shocking service. the woman serving had absolutely no good customer service. failed with basics of giving a table of 12 basic knife, forks, spoons, water, NAPKINS. After several attempts of getting napkins for the table we were given one at a time. food was quite shocking. we will definitely not be returning! wouldn't recommend!!!

Absolutely delicious food. First time me and husband have ever tried Persian, it certainly won’t be the last. The lambs tongue was meaty and flavoursome, the smoked aubergine had a lovely seasoning to it. The… bread is enormous, you only need one as it will easily last a couple for two meals.
The Persian doughnuts were very sweet, you need the saffron ice cream to off set that.
Lovely cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will definitely be coming again!

Located conveniently in front of Olympia, this place is a disappointment.
Inside is very tired looking and worn out, looking almost dirty.
Toilets were on the dirty side too, downstairs.
Service was just ok but not memorable.
Now, the food.... Below the standards of other Persian restaurants I've been in. Even the bread wasn't fresh but was like the just warm it up, being hard and chewy.
Entrances are small for £4.50 but out of the 3 I tried, 2 were nice. Meat was good but the zaffran rice, again, disappointing.
Tomato was charcoaled! (Look at the pics)
They added 10% service charge on

Great and personal service by the couple in the restaurant. It serves food until 11:30pm and has smart indoor and some outdoor seating (can be noisy outside). Sheesha also available. The lamb kebabs are excellent (with a mountain of rice) as is the accompanying yoghurt. Doogh was also refreshing to drink. About £30 for two of us.

Food good, service great, the smoked aubergine starter was banging! My lamb chops were nicely cooked and tasty. The tea was fragrant.
