Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently single out the lamb, described as tender enough to cut with a spoon in one account and highlighted elsewhere as lamb chops packed with flavour, alongside the Spring Chicken, both called expertly cooked. Starters like the Kashk O Bademjan and Olivieh also draw praise. One diner felt the sides and decorative salad were unnecessary. Several mention a calm atmosphere and staff described as attentive.

“An absolutely fantastic Iranian restaurant! The food was full of authentic flavours, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. The highlight for me was the lamb chops — incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. The meat …”

“this was a very nice dining experience, 3 of use shared a selection of starters and main and the saffron ice cream to finish. Starters were tremendous with flatbreads! The main (2 meat and one vegetarian) superb also (lamb and chick were expertly cooked), if I have to nit pick I'd say the sides let the rest down, the mains' "decorative" salad is ok but not necessary, I'f want to combine the starter with the main using the started as a side (like the aubergine Kashk O Bademjam which is superb). It feels mean to give the food 4 ⭐ but with some small changes this would be tryllu balanced and superb. We had the following starters: 1️⃣ Olivieh (highly recommended 5 ⭐️) 2️⃣ Smoked sausage (very tasty) 3️⃣ Kashk O Bademjan (highly recommended 5 ⭐️) and the following mains: 1️⃣ Chenjeh (highly recommended 5 ⭐️) 2️⃣ Spring chicken (highly recommended 5 ⭐️) 3️⃣ Vegetarian (essentially grilled veg)”

“I was really blown away by this place in such a positive way. The atmosphere was wonderful - all too often restaurants have taken to blaring music at the highest volume as an "atmosphere", but here was a wonderfully tranquil experience where you could hold a conversation. The entire experience was so relaxed, the staff were very attentive, polite and friendly. The food was fantastic. There was not anything I would give less than 5 stars. The lamb and chicken we had were tender enough to cut with a spoon and delicious. From start to finish, it was incredible and I absolutely look forward to returning.”
