About Persia Restaurant

Persia Restaurant is a Persian restaurant in Newcastle Upon Tyne, found at 14 Marlborough Cres. The mixed grill platter pairs three different kebabs with rice and chips, so a single order lets a diner try more than one kebab. Kebab koobideh also has a place on the menu, and lentil soup is available for those who want something to start. The kitchen makes its food fresh each day. Upstairs tables give families and friends room to gather for occasions.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often come back for the mixed grill, which arrives with several kebabs plus rice or chips, and diners describe the meat as juicy, tender and full of flavour. Close behind is the kebab koobideh, called the star of one meal, while the naan bread and hummus draw praise as fresh, soft and tasty. Lentil soup, a feta salad and a chicken salad also get mentioned. Several say everything is freshly made and good value for money, and a few call it the best Persian food in the area. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, welcoming and always smiling, with one reviewer noting a swift service and another that the owner is hospitable. Regulars mention coming back for lunch again and again. The one lukewarm review rates the service good and the place nice but finds the food not that great, without naming a dish. Upstairs tables for family and friends' occasions get a mention, and one reviewer returned because a parent had eaten there twenty years earlier.

  • Aliya Khaydarova
    “Really enjoyed this place! We ordered the mixed platter for one, a feta salad, and a chicken salad, and everything was so good. The naan bread was honestly one of the highlights – fresh, soft, and so tasty. The mixed platter came with three different kebabs, and they were all juicy and full of flavour. A big thank you to the lovely waitress who looked after us. She was so friendly, welcoming, and always smiling.”
