  “Meat was cooked well. If u are interested in strong flavour, this place might not be for you. However, since when was it normal to charge for a takeaway box ????!!!!! You used to go to a restaurant and they would pack the leftovers for you…now you go and they chuck you a takeaway box and charge u for it. Service was alright some people were good and some people not. Decor was alright. They don’t do platters which is quite silly because u can’t try different things and end up spending more… I’m guessing they r making more money with singular meals”

  “Found this place along our route travelling back to London. What an absolute treasure. The food was incredible. The rice was just right, the service was great and they even had ice cold Istak… honestly would highly recommend… it was the perfect meal to end our girls weekend away. Would definitely come back if we travel this way.”

  “We had dinner in Sam's Master Grill recently and it was great. We both had the mixed grill which was plentiful and the kebabs were wonderfully flavoured and tender. The accompanying Persian Rice and flatbreads were great. We ate in the newly refurbished restaurant which was spacious and very nicely decorated. We brought our own wine and paid a (very) small corkage fee on this. Overall, a great experience. We will return again soon.”

  “The real plants, the dimmed lights and the tasty decor gives this place a really nice atmosphere, especially compared to similar restaurants with all those plastic flowers and overly colourful decorations. You can actually hear your own voice while sharing some good food. They mostly serve meat, but there are plenty of meat free starters (and two of the starters constitute a full meal, especially with the size of the naan bread 😉). No alcohol is served but they have a variety of really nice fruity alcohol free beers.”

  “Sam’s Master Grill on Cheltenham Road is hands-down one of the best Persian meals we’ve had in the UK. The staff are genuinely warm, polite and attentive… real hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. We turned up on a busy Friday evening with no booking (we’re not locals and had no idea how popular it is,, definitely reserve in advance!), but the team still managed to find us a table without making us feel like an inconvenience. That alone deserves huge praise. The food is exceptional and astonishingly good value. Portions are massive and everything is packed with flavour: • Chicken liver – silky, perfectly seasoned • Tzatziki – fresh, garlicky and cooling • Mixed grill with lamb kofta & kebabs – succulent, beautifully charred, melt-in-the-mouth • Zereshk polo with chicken – the jewel-like barberries and saffron rice were an absolute highlight • Aryan – ice-cold, fizzy, salted yogurt drink that cut through the richness perfectly. So refreshing and authentic! Everything arrived piping hot and quickly, helped by the clever call-button system on each table (such a simple but brilliant touch). The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, with lovely Persian music and a constant buzz of happy diners. Waiting times were minimal even on a packed night. If you love authentic Persian food served with heart and generosity, this place is a must. We’ll be booking well in advance next time – already counting down the days until we return! Highly, highly recommended.”

  “We had lunch here with friends and were genuinely impressed. In my opinion, this is one of the best — if not the best — Iranian (Persian) restaurants in the UK. Atmosphere & Service: The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and professional. The manager was also very kind and had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Food Quality: As someone of Iranian background who truly appreciates and understands Persian cuisine, I can confidently say the food was exceptional — authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s the best Iranian food I’ve tasted in the UK so far. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Persian dining experience. Will definitely be coming back!”

  “Third time I have visited this restaurant and it never disappoints. Fantastically fresh delicious starters, mains and desserts. Great atmosphere and incredible service by all staff. Highly recommend the lamb neck and Persian tea to finish off. Will definitely be returning.”
