Excellent persian restaurant , are years that every time I come to London I come to dinner here. Beautiful atmosphere, you eat very well and the service is quick and nice. Low prices to be in London.

BEST iranian restaurant in the city . Their koobideh is delicious (pictured), and they make great hot bread . Definitely recommended.

Fay Abdulhadi

Finally a restaurant in London that you have to queue for because it's WORTH IT not because it's pretentious . Order the mixed starter and okra/lamb and.. the amazing bread . Best Persian in London!

Delicious food. Good & fast service . Kabab koobideh is a must ????????.

Prashan Ratnakumar

Bread is amazing & meat is so tender... serving sizes for some things are huge (mezze starter, Alounak special, Tuesday special), other things not so (the okra dish). Got really busy after 7.30 Tues.
