Atash Persian Restaurant

The small Dunbartonshire town of Kirkintilloch, just twenty minutes northeast of Glasgow, hides a pearl of a Persian restaurant in the form of Atash, whose menu is dotted with traditional and modern Iranian dishes. As an example of Arabic culinary culture, Persian cuisine is best enjoyed in a social setting, surrounded by friends and family. To this end, Atash have laid on the option of choosing three of their delicious Middle Eastern starters or a tapas-style introduction to what’s on offer. The paneer sabzi, feta cheese, fresh green herbs, tarragon, vegetables and walnuts served with freshly-baked naan bread demonstrates how Iranian and Indian cuisines have close ties, while hummus links Iran with the Levant. We recommend the saffron-marinated chicken breast or something from the charcoal grill for a mouthwatering main course. Find Atash up on High Street West.
