It is a big tradition in our household to have a take out for our family gathering over Christmas…read moreeve. What a feast it was , the best ghorme sabzi, delicious and juicy chicken kebabs, amazing starters and nan bread. Darvish restaurant t is on of a kind, amazing hospitality, authentic food, best ingredients, everything bought on the day and when you order, cooked to perfection so you get to enjoy a unique eating expedience.

During the 3 years I have resided in Leeds, I have bought 1 take-away from here back in the days…read morewhen I lived on The Calls and had the food delivered. My Partner and I enjoyed the food but as we rarely had take-away and lived far from Harehills (where the restaurant is situated there are no pre or post meal bars within the vicinity to make an evening of a visit) so we never dined and experienced the tea house. Fast forward 2 years, I live very close and an Iranian has just moved to Leeds and into my house share. Therefore, it goes without saying that a visit was inevitable! My other new Housemate who is Indian joined us too. I ran into the restaurant on Saturday afternoon and booked a table for 8pm. We arrived just after 8 pm and had a lovely table by the front of the restaurant. The decor is very traditional with painting and artefacts of Iran. I wasn't keen on the small TV above the door but it turned out to be a godsend as the Iranian male wasn't too bothered about joining into the conversations. There were 3 other tables dining (2 British customer and a table of assumed Iranian's). it was enough to create a decent atmosphere but also to ensure we had plenty of attention. The restaurant does not have a licence to sell alcohol as in advance I had purchased some wine to match the flavours of Persian cuisine. There is a £3.00 corkage fee which I would of disputed if we would have bought numerous soft drinks but we only had saffron tea and coffee to complete the meal so I believed the charge as justifiable. The food was delicious and I polished off the boys main meals too. We ordered 2 starters between 3 and these came with 2 massive freshly made Arabic knobz bread, followed by 1 stew and 2 kebabs between us and rice. The price was £38.00 in total and we left a tip. I am due to make a return visit with my Boss on a Wednesday at the beginning of April!

I've been here a few times and I came here last week. I'm glad to see this family business has…read moresurvived the ever changing restaurant and bars on Burton Road. They offer some delicious Persian dishes that are rich in flavour but not heavy. There's also the option of rice or half rice and salad to go with your main dish. On my recent visit, I had the chicken kebab with fluffy rice and colourful salad. It also came with some beautifully charred peppers, shallot, mushroom and tomato. Unlike other middle eastern restaurant, they don't serve the usual hummus or babaganoush. Instead, there's a range of yoghurt dips, which I'm not really fond of. Still, we had ordered garlic bread so we tried the Musto Khyar - cucumber, dill and lemon in yoghurt. It was nice enough but you couldn't really taste the lemon or the dill. Next time I will try one of their tapas-like starters! The restaurant had been nicely decorated and I know their doors open in the summer and you can sit outside. The service is good too! If you live near by I'd definitely recommend a visit!

After we left Wine & Wallop, we went into Burton Road looking for some place to eat. On a Friday…read morenight. Without reservation. we felt very, very lucky when we got a table straightaway at the very full looking Pomegranate, which I admit, was not our first choice. We went in, considering none of us had had Persian food before. We ordered this drink called doogh, which was a salted lassi kind of thing with sparkling water and mint, a persian tea and a Bailey's. For food, we skipped the preamble and jumped straight into the main course. we got 2 fesenjoons, a lime and thyme chicken and a grilled vegetables platter. we got this with saffron rice, sprinkled with pomegranate kernels. The rice was very good and fragrant. The doogh was interesting to begin with but as the fizz died out, it kind of fell flat. The biggest surprise of the night for me was the fesenjoon. It had that sweet/sour tamarindy/jaggery combination, similar to the brown chutney one gets with a samosa. It is good in little portions, when eaten with something spicy and rich but on its own, it can be quite overpowering. I am not saying the food was badly prepared, quite the opposite in fact. The chicken was well cooked and succulent, but we didn't expect to be hit on the face with this tamarindy sweetness. Having said that, I wouldn't mind going there again at a time when they're less busy and trying something else. The service was pretty quick, but I would like a little more interaction and input from the staff, which I can't expect on a Friday night. Which is why I'd like to go back when they're less busy. I'd still suggest people go there, get a taste of Pomegranate (no pun intended) and let us know what they think.

We dropped in here for a coffee after completing the Leeds Owl Trail around the town centre, and it…read moremade for a pleasant end to the afternoon. There was quite a few of us, so we took over the upstairs seating area - unfortunately wasn't aware until we were leaving that they also have an outside patio area - which was ok, I guess it would be better if there was more comfortable seating! Prices are very reasonable though, and this will probably attract me to go back again - less than £3 for coffee & a cake!

I've been back, and despite promising myself that I'd try the tea, I failed to arrive early enough…read moreto do so. It's fine though, as we arrived in good time to grab a late night bite and a shisha. We grabbed an apple juice from the fridge, ordered chicken, houmous, mushroom and cheese sandwiches, and sat in the outdoor area to await the food and the shisha. I can't recall which flavour I chose, but have to say, it was delightful -fruity, sweet and lovely! (Of course, that's if you're a fan of shisha.) The sandwiches came promptly, and were simply delicious. The chicken was cooked beautifully, the toasted bread was stuffed to the brim with fresh houmous, mushrooms and melted cheese and the plate came with a helping of salad to eat alongside the sarnie. Incredible! The space is fabulous too; when you enter, it feels like you've gained access to a secret club, where only a select savvy few know it exists. Despite the main shop being empty, we walked in to find a lively hub of folk, all with the same great idea to side-step the noise of Leeds City Centre. The staff are really accommodating, regardless if you're a little wobbly, and it makes for an excellent little hide away from the busy late night streets of Leeds. Given that it's two minutes away from most of the bars along Call Lane, it's the perfect spot to soak up some booze with their varied edibles, relax with friends and escape the rowdiness of town. The best bit? The food is practically take away prices, with none of the awful grease -now that's worth knowing. Yes, sometimes, all you want is an awful kebab, but for those who don't have such a calling come 1am, there's Kadas. Hidden, tasty, friendly and just really flippin' cool. Get involved.
