Diba

I have had the pleasure of dining at numerous Persian restaurants across the globe, but my recent visit to this hidden gem in Wimbledon, London, left an indelible mark on my taste buds and culinary memories. From the moment my wife and I stepped inside, we were greeted with an inviting atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The ambience at this Persian restaurant is nothing short of exceptional. It effortlessly blends the warmth of Persian culture with modern design elements, creating a welcoming and cozy environment. The tasteful decor, ambient lighting, and soft Persian music playing in the background transport you to a different world, making it the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a memorable family gathering. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is its exceptional staff. The team here is not only incredibly polite but also remarkably knowledgeable about Persian cuisine. They take the time to explain the dishes, recommend pairings, and ensure that every guest feels valued and well taken care of. Their genuine passion for Persian cuisine shines through in their service, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the food. Persian cuisine is known for its rich flavours and aromatic spices, and this restaurant masters them to perfection. The menu offers a diverse selection of dishes, ranging from traditional kebabs to mouthwatering stews and fragrant rice dishes. Each plate that emerged from the kitchen was a work of art, carefully prepared and bursting with flavours that danced on our taste buds. What truly impressed us was the affordability of the food. In a city where dining out can often be pricey, this Persian restaurant offers a refreshing change with its reasonable prices. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave with satisfied appetites and happy wallets. My wife and I have had the privilege of exploring Persian cuisine in various cities around the world, from DC to Tokyo, and we can confidently say that this eatery has earned a special place in our hearts. It stands proudly at the top of our list of Persian eateries, and we eagerly look forward to returning to savour more of their delectable dishes. In conclusion, if you're in Wimbledon and looking for an enchanting dining experience that combines a delightful ambience, friendly and knowledgeable staff, wallet-friendly prices, and, above all, an explosion of flavours in every bite, make sure to pay this Persian restaurant a visit. It's not just a meal; it's a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.

Very nice restaurant, the atmosphere is busy but in a good way and the service was on point. Everybody was super nice and available when needed. It was the first time my mum had Persian food and she was delighted. The food now, I loved it! The portion are generous and I was here for it. The naan made in front of you, the flavours just great. I will definitely go back.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very romantic. Staff is really nice, professional and helpful. They make sure you feel comfortable and the service is great. The food was delicious and fresh. The only thing I wasn't happy with is the amount of prawns you get as I don't think that is enough. Overall, a really good experience and would highly recommend.

My husband and I have been to Diba in Wimbledon quite a few times now and it has been amazing every single time! The atmosphere is just beautiful, they really spent a lot of time and effort in making the restaurant absolutely gorgeous, classy, romantic and traditional persian all in one, a photo from any angle looks brilliant. It is great for a couples date, friends & groups or with family. The food is delicious! Whether you have in inside the restaurant or order for a take-away (in the photo). Diba recently catered for a party we were having and everyone loved the Kabab Koobideh! We have been to the Wimbledon Branch and Chelsea branch, the service was exceptional at both places, the staff really know about the dishes and recommend which dishes goes with others. The desserts (Havij bastani and Faloodeh Bastani) are the best ones I have had in any persian London restaurant. We frequently have dessert in Diba and then order ourselves a take-away version for the next day. Fully recommend Diba, and we are always looking forward to our next visit!!
