After seeing long queue at Nandos we decided to have quick food at this persian restaurant next to Nandos. It was quieter compared to Nandos... very very quiet, as there was only 4 customers having their dinner on one table only. So we took a chance and went in to try out this place before the movie.
Parking is not a problem , there are place parkings pots on the streets and the big car park next door.
Customer service I cannot really comment on that as there was no customers to see how they perform in pressure. So as we were the only second customers at the restaurant, we were nicely welcomed and offered any table to choose from, we decided to sit next to the window in the corner.
Quickly decided our food and one quick starter dish. The starter arrived within 5 minutes of ordering our food, the waiter left the plate on the table and said enjoy and left. Now I was a bit curious at this stage as to how are we suppose to eat this dish, Mutabal I believe it was, there was no bread, or crackers or something to use that dip as a DIP. So curiously I enquired from the waiter and then he revealed that we suppose to eat it like that as it is, with the spoons Maybe, he said, "this is how we persians eat", he said.
After listening to his justification I was just praying and hoping that the main dishes will be not a disappointment.
Lamb shank with Herb rice and Lamb steak with saffron rice was delicious for me to try it first time. I cannot say anything about its authenticity as it was my first every try of persian version of these dishes. For me these two dishes was delicious or maybe because we were very very hungry as well.
We enjoyed the main dishes, that we cleaned the plates quickly. The bill was double the price of what it would have costed at Nando's so a bit disappointed on the pricing, but what can say, they are sitting in the main busy central point to do business.
Overall experience is not VERY VERY good, its okay for first time try, I would not go back here knowing the prices are a bit too much for my liking.
And I would not recommend a friend about this place unless they accidentely went in to have quick bite only. read more
