My partner went to McMaster and after showing me the campus and her old neighborhood we decided to grab an early dinner on King St. So glad we stopped in to Nannaa. I love that they offer organic beer. Everything we got was very fresh, high quality, and full of flavor. All of the meat was juicy and tender. This is on par with some of the best homemade Persian meals I grew up eating at friends' houses. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again if I'm in the area. read more

I don't usually like to put such low scores! But the service was absolutely terrible. The young lady didn't want to answer our questions and answer them fast and just want to sit us and get it over with. Over 20 minutes with 2 trips to the counter to tell the servers we are waiting to place an order and still nothing. The food was just ok, lots of rice but smaller kofta than other places. Sorry, our first time here and probably our last!! We were here Saturday August 10 at 6:40 pm read more

Nannaa - Out door seating - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Located near McMaster University campus, Nannaa offers great Persian dishes with student-friendly prices. The inside is nice and cozy, with a patio in front of the restaurant. Service is very friendly. The menu offers classic Persian / Iranian dishes, with lots of vegetarian options to choose from (some of which you can make vegan by ommitting the yogurt sauce or cheese). Vegetarian dishes that we tried: 1) Salad Shirazi (diced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and mint, dressed with lemon and olive oil vinaigrette) - Classic Persian side salad, perfect accompaniment for any main dishes. Light and refreshing. 2) Pistachios, Beets, and Greens Salad (mixed greens, beets, and pistachios with homemade pomegranate dressing ) - Flavourful salad with tasty dressing, loved the mix of different textures (including the crunch from the pistachios). 3) Eggplant & Mushrooms Tachin (saffron-crusted rice layered with eggplant and mushrooms, topped with barberries and almonds, and served with a side of Maust-O-Moseer / Persian yogurt shallot sauce) - I liked the crunchy, slightly burnt outer layer of the tachin, and the yogurt shallot sauce that came with it. But the inside seemed to lack content (there were only small bits of mushrooms, and not much eggplant). 4) Dahl Addas (potato, cauliflower, and lentil stew with tomatoes, spices, and tamarind; served with saffron-infused rice) - Tasty and hearty stew. Very filling! This was my favourite dish at Nannaa. 5) Vegetarian Kotlet Plate (Persian-style lentil and potato patties drizzled with Nannaa special aioli, served alongside saffron-infused rice and signature Salad Shirazi) - I found this just so-and-so. The patties seemed to be mostly potatoes and didn't contain much lentil. Overall, it's a pretty good Persian restaurant with casual ambience, friendly service, and dishes that taste clean and healthy (extra points for the good selection of vegetarian / plant-based dishes). read more

The food is wonderful, and I have a new favourite from my usual stews. They have this chicken sandwich that is just heaven with these tasty little Persian pickles on it. The fries are crispy and hot. And one of the few places where I can get a decent cup of tea. The service was great - pleasant and quick. It's a pretty place in Westdale and decorated inside with tiling, trays and so on in the Persian fashion. Love it. read more

I went here with a few friends on a Saturday night. It wasn't busy at all, we had no problem getting a table for 5. I had the koobideh which is beef kabob with saffron infused rice. It was good. I didn't like how for the price they didnt include more than one side and I had to pay extra for the borani which is a cucumber dip. The whole meal was pricey for the amount you received. For 2 meals it was about 40-45$. The service was great and the restaurant is clean. I would go back here if you got more bang for your buck. For an eatery located in the McMaster student area, I expect more affordable student prices. read more

Came here as a study break to have a snack and chat with a friend. Wasn't super hungry so didn't get to try the main courses available and I'm not too familiar with Persian food either. Decided to get the Nannaa fries and Nannaa Iced Green Tea. The aioli that came with the fries was pretty good although a bit sour. The sourness added a taste to the fries which was different than what I've had before. The green tea was good but wasn't super special, the fries was given in a decent portion the drink was a bit small though. read more

Nannaa - Nannaa fries and Nannaa Iced Green Tea - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Decided to come with my Iranian friend on a whim. She very much enjoyed it and found it quite authentic. It was quite unique and nothing like I've had before. However, it is not my particular taste. The service and decor is great though. Definitely a spot you could come for a nice chat with friends, family, or a date. Very comfortable seating. You order at the counter and get your own cutlery/water, but the staff will serve your food for you. read more

People who are not adventurous eaters should not write reviews on authentic cuisines. Read between the lines and consider the source! This is a wonderful restaurant to try Persian food! I came the first week it was open, and was introduced to Olivieh Persian Salad, which I have enjoyed ever since so much that I learned to make it. I recommend The Classics, such as Fesenjoon, which are reasonably priced for what you get with generous portions. Be prepared for an informal set up where you get your own menu, napkins and flatware, and you order at the counter. That is why I didn't give it five stars. read more

Save your money. This place has Bad food, see my pic. 19$ for cut of meat and small salad. 0/5 is not allowed but this place deserves 0. I have had same exact meal for around 18-22$ at more than 5 restaurants in GTA , I've never seen such a horrible version. They are new, it's a shame they are so bad. read more

Nannaa - Barg (takeout) 19$ before tax - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

My wife is Persian, and to please her the food has to be authentic and to her standards! Nana passed with flying colours, we shall return!

Decided to come here opening week on a whim, with a couple of coworkers over lunch. Service was slow due to a large rush and new operating business, and lack of segregation of take out orders and sit in orders. However the owners have another restaurant in Burlington, so it's a bit surprising it wasn't more organized. It didn't help that it's a small location too. Took about 30-40 minutes for food to arrive, which came out it spurts. By the time one person was finished with their food in my party I was still waiting for mine to be served. When the food did arrive it was semi warm. Taste was alright of the Dahl, but not comparable to other Dahl I have had. The rice portion size was large, but of very poor quality. It had a musty smell and after taste, indicative of a low quality source and not being washed out for starch prior to cooking. The flatbread was outsourced to an external bakery, I saw it arrive prior to my service. Was expecting something freshly made. It was alright but cold and not heated. Overall I think this place has potential, but there are better places to eat in the neighbourhood. Hoping they organize themselves better. read more

Not sure why the low score. It's a solid kebab and a very nice interior. A bit pricey but Westdale is becoming like that.

I tried Nannaa during the first week of it's opening. I was really excited since it's only Persian restaurant in McMaster's vicinity. I was truly disappointed. I ordered the chicken breast with rice and I regretted it instantly. The quality of the rice wasn't what I expected. Furthermore the chicken did not have any taste (no seasoning whatsoever). I think this place has potential if the owners stop cheaping out on the ingredients for dish that ends up costing $20 dollar per portion. read more

Tried the fries, kebab and tea. I was impressed with the taste and quality of the food. I do agree that the price point was a tad high even for Westdale. read more
