Came here with friends and have been several times before- this time felt very disrespected by the staff. The food was ok, but they put the music up to an extremely loud level for about 3 birthdays within the space of 30 minutes that we genuinely had to close our ears for around 10 minutes for fear of going deaf (I'm in my twenties so not exactly averse to loud music but this was un bearable). I then brought it up with the staff- 2 men who didn't apologise and deliberately cranked the music up as we got up from our seats, presumably because we didn't pay service charge- rather spiteful ! .

Went there for a party, we ordered some drinks and were served with the drinks, a few minutes later the waiter came and very abruptly with a rude tone asked for money, instead of giving the bill with courtesy. For two orange juice and one apple juice and a zero coke , they charged us £20. Which included extra £5.60 for drinks we didn't have! (this explains the intimidating behaviour of the waiter) and also an extra £3 for tips without asking us first! So basically charged extra £8 for nothing😐
On top of all this as soon as we got up to greet others and were absent minded what's going on

Disappointed with the food especially the rice 👎 and the poor service and unreasonable price.
We booked a table for 10 people at the weekend at 6pm but before we finish our main meal the manager asked us to finish quickly and leave @7pm because they had a party. We didn't have a chance to order our dessert, We invited some of our friend with different nationality to a Persian restaurant for the first time and in the middle of eating they ask us to finish quicker and leave.what a beautiful way to introduce our culture to others.
NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PLACE AGAIN.....

Use to be better then I heard the owner sold from the staff and destroyed a lovely concept of Persian food. Very unfriendly business and they completely changed the taste of the food. Ugly decor too. Mirrors because apparently the owner loves to look at his narcissistic self! A note from the older skinny waitress!

One of my favourite places to eat...wow!!! Stylish contemporary restaurant, food and service. Highly advised if you can get a table! Came here for my boyfriends birthday, what a fantastic array of food. The presentation and flavours are fantastic, and fun. The staff are really friendly and overall had a great time. I would suggest trying everything.
Sometimes it can be tricky when eating out but these guys really know their stuff. Didn't know food could taste that amazing!!

Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Very good authentic Persian food with a twist. The starters are amazing with a good variety of high quality reasonably priced plates to share. In house made Persian bread. The main dishes are equally made with high quality ingredients and tasteful seasoning. Takeaway service. Popular for special occasions. Very good service. Recommended.

Visited here last night with a dinner booking for 2 people at 8pm. It was practically empty but soon became very busy and there was a buzzing atmosphere. The range of dishes is quite vast and for someone with a small stomach, the koobideh (one skewer of lamb with pickled cabbage and rice) was more than enough. A basket of fresh bread and yoghurt dip is offered complimentary at the start of the meal. Staff were very friendly and repeatedly attended to our table. Only downside is the rice is quite dry, it would have been much tastier if a sauce was given on the side of the dish. Otherwise, the lamb

Went to Lavash for Sunday lunch food served was Persian which included as starters a cheese dip an aurbergine dip a fresh salad and mushrooms we were served with this fresh flat bread which was being baked on the premises. Very healthy and fresh.
For mains we shared between 12 of us lamb shanks served with Persian rice a chicken dish and a grilled fish. All this was also very healthy
They served alcohol but I liked the selection of fresh juices which h included carrot, carrot celery and apple and a few others. The only thing I was not happy with was desert which was apple crumble but found it

The main course of rice and kebab was good too. Lamb Fillet layered across my plate with a good helping of rice and cooked tomato. This was a big meal and I just about managed to finish it all. JUST AS ONE SHOULD.
Iranian Food is the ONE. My last meal will probably be rice and kebab; with a side of Steak, Sushi and lots more too. IT'S MY LAST MEAL AND I'LL EAT WHAT I WANT.
Lavash is what I woudl expect for Iranian. I think the one issue is that they are tryign a bit too hard. Forget all the contemporary stuff and stick to the classics. Halloumi, Steak, there is no need for that.

Lavash is a contemporary styled Persian restaurant in the leafy London suburb of Finchley.
Growing up around a large number of Persians, including a few close friends, I am no stranger to Persian cuisine. In London there are thousands of Persians and as a result there is an endless supply of Persian restaurants to cater to them. I have been to many of them, but my favourite is Lavash.
The restaurant is stylishly decorated and the low lighting and soft music sets the mood for either a romantic meal or a relaxing get together with family or friends.
I have sampled most of the food here with Ghorme

I understand and actually cook persian regularly.
Didn't eat in Lavash so I wont comment on the restaurant and service.
The food delivery I received was extremely disappointing, The lamb shank was tasteless and everything else besides the rice inedible.
There's really not much more I can offer other than the food was terrible. There are many more Persian restaurants in the area I would be trying them.

What? I can't believe I haven't written a review on Lavash before. This is my favourite restaurant to bring groups of people to, as the fare is delicious, the atmosphere very warm, and the service friendly. The prices are great too. People can order what they want and I don't have to worry that the bill will be too high. There is almost always parking on the street out front. Highly recommended.

Can't fault this place. Food and service were excellent. But you pay for it.
If it's your first Persian meal then try the mixed starter, followed by any of the grills (Makhsoos or the boneless chicken would be good ones to try), finished off by some bastany (or faloodeh) and Persian chai.
Also try the doogh which is the traditional yoghurt drink.
Enjoy.

Lavash is the name of an Iranian bread but by swapping the last a for an i does describe this restaurant well! Tuesdy night is quiet but the food is consitently good - a table of 5 were served efficenintly and friendly. The food is is. Starters, if I am being honest are 'average', but the mains are excellent. They do grills and the lamb, either minced or chunks is done in a particular style that must be unique - the tenderness is to die for and the taste exquisite. The vegetarian option looked good too and everything was accompanied with light fluffy rice. The bread (lavash) is light
