This weekend's crave was Persian cuisine! We spent the day in the northern suburbs and this place…read morewas right on our way back home. I don't think the location is ideal, but then again, I'm still getting to know Sydney and there may be more to do in the area than I know of... However, it was worth stopping by for a Persian feast! The place is not very big (although there is a second floor which I don't know if they use or not), but had no problem getting seated and ordering the food. The waiting time was a little long, but that was due to a massive order being taken for takeaway just before we got in. The chef came out halfway through to apologise to us, which was nice. We didn't mind as we were in no rush and were enjoying ourselves anyway. But then it came! The meal I was looking for, a big sharing Chelo Kabab which was very tasty and fulfilling. Particularly, I'm a big fan of the mince-meat from these restaurants. It was lovely. The waitresses were very nice and helpful too. I reckon we will pop round again if we are ever in the area

Location, location, location... and this doesn't have it…read more This restaurant is tucked away below, under and around the back of a retail complex in Castlecrag that also happens to be at the end of the street my mum lives in. Over the last 20 years I've seen 4 or 5 different restaurants come and go, and I feel for them because they can be the best places in the world, but nobody knows they're there and there's no foot traffic. The kit-out at Cyrus is terrific, it's cozy and classy all at once, transporting you right back to Persia (assuming that you've, y'know, been there before. Or hell, maybe you've just seen Aladdin about a hundred times). The menu is heavy on delicious, spiced lamb and beef shish kebabs, great mounds of fragrant rice, char-grilled chilli, minted yoghurts, and lots of eggplant dishes. I wasn't a giant fan of the pickled vegetables for entree - quite vinegary - but that probably says more about my palate than the dish itself. The lamb kebab was unreal, confirming my suspicions that I am indeed a Meat Man. Always was, always will be. Take that statement as you will.

Started with garlic yogurt, nice and creamy but no garlic, and a salad with a very strange lemon dressing. Next we had a fish kebab, very dry and tasteless, with only plain boiled rice. The vegetable casserole was ok but there wasn't much of it. It looked like an accompaniment to a meat dish. We couldn't have the Persian dessert, as they didn't have any that night, or coffee because no one could make it. Maybe it's better on a Saturday night, but I won't be back to find out.

While the dishes might seem simple there is a delicacy and authenticity to the flavours. This is comforting, family-style dining where you're encouraged to sit back, relax and forget about the time.
