Dehkadeh

I asked a good Iranian friend of what in his opinion was the best Iranian restaurant in London. He pointed me towards here. Conveniently it’s only 5 mins cycle from Harrowall so as a climber it was logical to pair them up. A 4 1/2 hour climb had built up a good appetite. I ordered the Kebab Koubideh (minced lamb with bread) and the Pollow Koresh Ghormeh Sabzi (green herb lamb stew with kidney beans and served with with with barberries). Both were delicious & flavoursome as promised and portions were ample. To finish I had some Bastani (Persian saffron ice cream with rose water & pistachio). I’d never had this before, it had some a depth of flavour. The owner was friendly and came to chat. Overall it was a great dining experience and I’m grateful for the recommendation. Definitely one of the best Iranian meals I’ve had in london. They have some specials at the weekend I’m interested in trying, especially the Aab Goosht (meat stew) and Ghalieh Mahi (fish stew). The owner recommended if I did to phone 24 hours in advance to reserve a portion as it’s typically finished by about midday.

I love Persian food and if you're around this area and fancy something different then look no further. The food is prepared fresh in sight, all delicious. The kebabs were well marinated and in generous portions. We keep missing out on Sunday specials but hopefully soon. Great family run establishment

We traveled from Bournemouth to convince ourselves from what we heard about Dehkadeh offering authentic Persian food in London. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner and felt instantly at home. The restaurant is very specious with good access and very children friendly. We were amazed by the taste of several cold and warm starters we ordered which came with a delicious and very traditional Nan-bread which you usually don't find in any other persian resturant. We also loved the authentic taste of our mains which consisted of persian styled grilled meat with rice. Simply succulent!! Unfortunately we were too busy eating and enjoying our food that we forgot to take photos to share it with you. Thank you for your hospitality and hope to see you soon again.

We stopped by after seeing the positive reviews and we can safely say they have deserved every one. Not only is the food delicious (be sure to get the lentil soup - warms the soul, especially in the cold), but the owner/hostess is exceptionally sweet, helping us with a smile through our questions and requests. A beautifully decorated place as well, capable of transporting you to another land as you sip on their cardamom-spiced Persian tea.
