  “This place was recommended to us by Iranian friends, and we really enjoyed it. The food was amazing. There's a good choice of kebabs, stews, and other specials. The staff are really friendly and helpful if you want advice on menu choices. We finished with baklava and Persian tea, which was a perfect end! Highly recommended.”

  “Table for four. Ordered 3 Koobideh kabab and Barg kabab. The koobideh was perfectly cooked and delicious, moist and juicy, the rice was fluffy and properly cooked. The customer service was on point. And the wait time for food was less than twenty minutes. Very satisfied overall and will definitely be coming again when I come to Hull.”

  “Had the most delicious solo meal here and enjoyed every second! The warm aubergine and tomatoe dip with a rich traditional lamb stew were just what I was looking for on a cold March night. Will definitely be back again. The service made you feel welcome and at home! I couldn't resist trying the Persian ice cream even though it was a week night! Thank you for a lovely meal and experince, see you soon! I need to try everything on the menue! Thank you 😋”

  “Really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and full of flavour. The waitress was very welcoming, which made the experience even better. Although part if my takeaway order was missed (chips) i would definitely come back”

  “We had a fantastic experience at The Persian. We ordered the Koobideh and the Soltani, and both were absolutely delicious. The meat quality was excellent really well cooked, full of flavour and the portions were very generous. I’m also genuinely happy that, after years, I can finally taste authentic Iranian flavours here in Hull. It really made the whole experience special. A special mention to the restaurant manager, Ali Mazrae, who was genuinely warm and welcoming. He managed everything brilliantly and made sure everything ran smoothly. You can tell he really cares about the service and the overall experience. Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be back!”

  “The food was superb quality but the service was absolutely appalling. We waited an hour for food when only 5 tables in. Never asked for drinks and when I complained we were offered a free drink that met arrived. Really disappointed as we knew the old owner and I knew the food would be good. We paid in full as the food was delicious and well cooked.”

  “Incredible, authentic persian food! We was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We went for the "luxury selection" for 2 people and wasn't disappointed. It was great value for money too! We absolutely recommend the mirza ghasemi and the koobideh - but everything we tasted here was really good! Would definitely return!”

  “Had a great experience dining at the restaurant. Tried Kobdeih on the recommendation of the staff. Cooked to perfection and piping hot. It smelled so fresh. Loved it! Will come again and highly recommend. Edit: Tried for the fourth time today. Amazing taste. Taste has improved from the last time. Went again on 3rd September, and the taste was not great. Will try again or else reduce the rating. Pictures attached”
