Nice food and friendly staff. Atmosphere good. Busy at 6.00pm so would recommend booking. Only down side is that there are not many vegetarian choices for main course.

Excellent service from start to finish. The menu was just right enough choices. The food was amongst some of the tastiest I've had in a while and good portions. Would highly recommend.

Very special restaurant and really tasty food using Persian culinary skills. Well worth a visit and widely appreciated by those in the know about the restaurant. Highly recommended. The owner demonstrates high standards from his team and he engaged with us throughout our dining experience. The food is prepared with great care and attention to detail. The fish tasted just wonderful and I can recall the saffron dusting the fish ever so lightly. The baklava was just wonderful with the rose flavour following the initial bite. Wow! Our taxi driver was also raving about the food on our journey home!

The food was wonderful and staff are really friendly. They even suggested a different side to better accompany my main course and wasn’t disappointed. You’ll struggle to find lamb as nice as this anywhere else

Delicious food and excellent service. The bread and hummus were better than any we had in the Middle East. Had one grill and one stew and both were extremely tasty. Also had Baklava and saffron ice cream and these were fabulous.

Pleasant, prompt service. Starters of falafel, halloumI etc were good, as we're lamb shanks in tomato with assorted rices. Wine and beers available. We liked the place.

The food and service here is always great; it's been a few years since I've been but I want disappointed. Excellent value and a nice wine to go along with the food. We were eating quite early so the ambience want quite as good as I've experienced previously (we were also downstairs) but we would definitely return and try some more dishes!

Delicious food, excellent service, reasonable price - what's not to like? Delicious mezze starters, rich stews, and the walnut and date ice cream is to die for.

We were a party of 5. The food was all delicious. The aubergine starter was particularly tasty. We also had desserts and the baklava was lovely - not too sweet which it often can be. The service was very good and the staff friendly and helpful.

Really tasty food and an exciting menu. Three of us dined off the normal evening menu and had three courses and soft drinks for £20 a head.

Amazing food as always.. Brag will always be my favorite lamb! Mux apptizer is lovely but not a big fan of dolmeh (stuffed vine leaves). Frash flat bread is amazing, and rice with betries to die for

Excellent service, obliging, tasty food with lots of veggie options; well sourced wine and very reasonable prices for a city centre restaurant. Cosy and not too noisy setting for small and large groups.
