Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the lamb, described as tender enough to cut with a spoon, with the lamb chops called juicy and packed with flavour. The chicken comes close behind, with the spring chicken and chicken kebab both praised. The aubergine starter Kashk O Bademjan is named by two diners as superb, alongside the Olivieh starter and the Chenjeh main. Reviewers describe a tranquil room where conversation is possible, friendly and welcoming staff, and an owner who made one table feel at home. The one real criticism comes from a reviewer who felt the sides let the mains down, calling the decorative salad unnecessary and the vegetarian main essentially grilled veg. Several finish with dessert, including saffron ice cream and bastani, and one diner was glad they went for it.

“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 …”

The owner was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. You can really tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. Highly recommend Antler Restaurant to anyone looking for outstanding Persian cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!”

“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)”
