Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the authentic Persian cooking, and the saffron rice alongside a lamb stew of aubergines, tomato and garlic draws the strongest reaction, from a first-time diner who never expected to be excited about rice. Close behind are the mix grill platter, said to be cooked perfectly, and the chicken and lamb shawarma. Diners also name a garlicky aubergine starter with flat bread, the soup of the day and a red salad as delicious. Most describe the food as fresh and flavourful, and one notes generous portions and reasonable prices. Staff come up almost as often as the food, described as welcoming, helpful and friendly. One newcomer says the staff explained the unfamiliar dishes and which combinations to try, and a parent describes them as patient and compassionate with an autistic child during a messy meal. A few mention a peaceful, lovely atmosphere, and one enjoyed the patio overlooking the river. Several say they would recommend it. One returning diner liked that the tea arrives in a traditional teapot.
