We had the lamb and herbs stew, royalty grill and a vegetarian grill. Every dish had the same sides ('exotic' greens, same three different rice). The stew had definitely been prepared beforehand and just heated up prior to serving (and it was a small portion for the price). Unless you're desperate I would not recommend this place.

I can't believe how good everything here is. You must get the bread and lamb combo. I was very impressed with their aubergine dishes which is eggplant based for Americans. We don't really know what Aubergine is but my Brits friends made that known to me years ago Good portion. My favorite was however the bread which was freshly made and only £2.50. Great ambience to boot. Lots of single diners and family diners. I would definitely come back next time! Really the best Iranian food!

I took the butter chicken back to my hotel room and tasted a bite. OMG. It was fantastic. I saved some of it for the next morning and it was even richer.
