A most pleasurable experience. Without knowing anything about it, we just chose it because we wanted to eat Irani food. Normally, I hate eating out because something or the other is wrong with restaurant food. However, we tried a starter and a main course. Both were so good that we cleaned out the plates. Both were very traditional dishes. Kashke Bademjan and Ghemey Nesar. See photos for details. The roti was cooked right in front of us in the traditional oven. Best food I have tasted in a restaurant in a very long time.

The food here is truly authentic—every bite took me back to my Persian roots. The flavors were spot-on, prepared with such care and respect for tradition. The staff were warm and attentive, treating everyone like family, and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere made the evening feel special. As a Persian, it’s rare to find a place that captures our cuisine and hospitality so beautifully. I’m so grateful for this gem and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone craving a taste of home or a heartfelt meal!

Went to this restaurant with a group from work and everything was a good standard from the food to the service. The restaurant generally opens at 2 on Wednesday and we needed to get there for 1. They agreed to have the Chef come earlier to support us and the service was amazing. Lovely experience and all around great. Great flavours.

If it was possible to give this place more stars I would! The food, atmosphere and staff were fantastic. We hadn't been here in a while as the owners had changed a couple of times but I can happily recommend it now to anyone who is looking for something special. Out of the two Persian restaurants in this area, this is the one to go to.

It was our first visit here, and it was a quiet Thursday early evening, so I am not sure about the usual business. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The food was really good and plentiful (I had to take a box home as couldn't finish) and the bread was light and tasty - my wofe loved watching it being cooked! I really recommend this place as it ticks a lot of boxes so well worth a visit! I got to enjoy it all over again(ish) for lunch the next day with my leftovers
