Nice restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. Dishes were well prepared and presented with a good number of vegetarian options. I found the dish I had (grilled halloumi) a little over sweet to my taste, but otherwise very good.

Great food and service - lovely people. Could do with a good extractor fan as we all came home smelling of smoke and bbq which isn’t ideal if you are going on after dinner.

The best eating out experience for me is good food, a welcoming environment, and staff that treat me like a welcome guest not just a customer. Pistachio delivered all of these again! The food is fresh, interesting, tasty and beautifully presented. The restaurant is small, clean, bright and warm (important on a cold winter’s night). The staff are wonderful - they make time for a chat which I love when eating alone and they are proud of their restaurant and always working to improve it.

This place is amazing. Service is fantastic lovely atmosphere and the food is so good. Went for my husbands birthday and they even surprised us with a cake and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday to him. You have to go and experience this fantastic gem of a restaurant. The loaded hummus is incredible.

Delicious food and friendly staff. We had the aubergine and walnut hot dip and the pistachio, feta and yogurt dip; the lamb tangy herb, and the aubergine and split pea stews; and the baklava and saffron, rose water and pistachio ice cream. It was our first time trying Persian food and we loved everything!

Food was excellent, great flavours and variety and the service was friendly (genuine) and attentive. Minor issue is that hard surfaces (walls, floor, furniture) mean that there is nothing to absorb noise on a busy evening.

Lovely food and staff. Incredibly noisy, to the point I couldn’t hear the other person at my table talk. Only one toilet for all staff and patrons led to queuing

Pistachio is a gem of a place. It's a little out of town but worth making the effort to get to. The staff were super friendly on my first visit last night. The food was delicious and well presented. There are traditional Persian favourites plus other dishes with a contemporary twist. I had a hummus starter sprinkled with roasted chickpeas and pomegranate seeds served with flatbread followed by the lamb meatballs in a delicious piquant sauce served with saffron rice. It was all really tasty. My friend and I also had a lovely gin and pomegranate cocktail. I noticed that there were plenty of veggy and vegan choices on the menu too which I thought was good. I will be back

Fabulous local restaurant. Clean, contemporary décor; amazingly fresh, colourful food with palette pleasing flavours, and the gin cocktails are delicious! After a wonderful starter of assorted dips and plentiful warm flatbread, we didn't manage to finish our mains, which were swiftly packed into takeaway containers - tomorrow's lunch sorted! Perfect.

The staff are very helpful and friendly staff. The food is gorgeous, and there is a good choice for vegetarians/vegans. We go on a Saturday night, and it is very busy, so definitely recommend booking in advance. Nice leisurely meal, no rush to have to leave the table.

Great service, great food and a great price. We went here prior to an event at Motorpoint Arena and it's just a short walk to the venue. We were really pleased with our choice and would definitely recommend.
