A fantastic dinner experience tucked away in a quiet street in central London. Having eating lots of persian and afghan foods, I must say this was the best restaurant I have found in London, one could even say this is one of the best in the UK! The staff are extremely attentive to each customer’s needs even when the restaurant is busy with people, quickly attending to you and our meal was given to us efficiently too. You get some olives to snack on whilst you wait and when the food itself finally arrives, you can see it was absolutely wonderful. The mast-o-khiar paired with the broth of the lamb shank which they give separately alongside rice too is absolutely divine. So definitely recommend the lamb shank and also the chelo kebab koobideh. Pair all these dishes with their amazing naan and you will be in food heaven ! Even simply dipping the warm stonebaked naan in the mast-o-khiar or ghouzi’s (lamb shank) broth or green chili sauce is the best present you could give your taste buds. I therefore 100% recommend trying the dishes with both rice and naan and mixing it up with the lamb dishes and their condiments! Overall, an amazing experience and I will definitely be returning to and recommending this restaurant to everyone with a warm and cozy atmosphere, the most welcoming staff and hopefully trying some of their ghormeh sabzi and desserts. Thank you for this wonderful dinner!

I came to this restaurant with my Arabic speaking friend. Atmosphere is simple but comfortable. My friend was satisfied with the food, but this quality is definitely not satisfactory for an Iranian and it is necessary to improve the quality. The way of writing the invoice is related to ancient Rome and it needs to be changed, because the customer has the right to know the contents of the invoice and the prices. Despite the above flaws, I think the service is excellent and all the waiters have positive energy,especially an Iranian waitress who served us It was served perfectly. Overall, it is a good restaurant and I recommend it to others.
