  “You must visit this restaurant. The service was so welcoming, wonderful owner and staff. Nothing was too much trouble, a true gem. The food was authentic, huge portions and honestly incredible. Olivieh salah starter came with a huge warm naan, the chicken (zereshkt pollo) fell off the bone. The koobideh kebab was perfectly done. I could not reccomend this restaurant enough and I will be back again very soon!”

  “Absolutely delicious food. It is served quickly and the service is really friendly. The portions are generous, and you can't help but keep trying to squeeze more food in despite being full! It's worth noting that they don't serve alcohol here, but you can bring your own (I didn't notice if you pay a corkage or not). I'd recommend the grill platter for 2 if you can't decide between what to have as it has a few different meats on. It wasn't our first visit, so we knew not to fill up on starters as the mains are filling enough. There is a kids menu with the usual beige offerings if you have picky children. We just ordered a selection of things to share rather than order from that, and the kids were happy to enjoy the same as we had. I recommend this place to anyone asking for somewhere to eat in Middlesbrough. It's not a fancy restaurant, but it is an extremely good and friendly one.”

  “Well I'm not even sure where to start.... Firstly we were greeted with such beauty and kindness, we were seated and then the most gorgeous food arrived at our table. The food was cooked to perfection, absolutely gorgeous flavours and great quality. The rice was the most delicious rice we'd ever tasted. It was a calm warm atmosphere with a cute little canary singing to us whilst we enjoyed our starter and 3 mains. After our meal we had a pot of cardamon tea, which again was absolutely spot on, a little tea light candle underneath to keep it hot. The service was lovely, the staff treat you like family, they welcome you with open arms and they see you out with hugs and hand shakes. Smiles all around. This will definitely be our go to place for many dinner dates to come. Thank you so much for a splendid evening.”

  “The staff are so lovely very kind and helpful.. Can't do enough for you. The place is very old fashioned. But I rather like the culture. So maybe it's just their style. I struggled with the food. My meal was grilled to black burnt. So hard and crispy I tried to find flesh of sea bass but only couple of pieces... The serving if rice was like a mountain for anyone. I ate that to fill up. But just a few spoonfuls off the top of the pile. . I'm not a big eater. You shoukd try for yourself because if anything the other meals looked lovely. I picked wrong one maybe.”

  “Dining at this Persian restaurant was an unforgettable experience. The charming and authentic decor, featuring beautiful carpets, intricate tiles, and traditional lanterns, created a warm and inviting ambiance that transported me straight to Iran. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel like a cherished guest. They eagerly explained the dishes and offered recommendations, enhancing the overall delightful experience. The food was the true highlight. Every dish burst with flavor and authenticity, from succulent kebabs to aromatic rice dishes and flavorful stews. The saffron-infused chicken with barberry rice was particularly memorable, and the traditional Persian sweets provided a perfect ending to a fantastic meal. This place is a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine Persian dining experience.”
