The service was quite good, not super fast, but just right. The food itself was out of this world, the chicken kebab was so tender and flavorful. The buttery rice was extremely soft and tasty. My favorite part of the meal was the crispy rice. It was like a block of rice with a crispy outside to it. Overall, this restaurant is a great spot to have dinner!

They have an open grill which is wood and charcoal fired as well as s bread oven at the front when you walk in. The restaurant itself is long and narrow with s few table outside looking towards the river. Bit of a weird set up with Steins next door having a terrace that cuts across the back of the restaurant do views of the Thames not direct. Anyway the food was quick, fresh and absolutely delicious! Great for a quick bite of a selection of starters would extend your evening. Garlic and chilli sauce brought with food so you could help yourself. Staff attentive but no hassle. I'll definitely be back soon.

I shall say, Narenj was a good restaurant couple of years ago. But this time was one of the worst…read more The KASHKEBADEMJOON was perhaps two spoon of quantity wise and full of salt. The JOOKEH was to salty too. Too expensive for and not quality food. And when we told them as we paid for the food, the owner didn't offer any discount although my mom has been going to this restaurant many times! The view in the balcony is beautiful though. That's all.

Came here the other day with my coworker. I've never had Persian food but thought I'd give it a…read moretry. It's a fairly small place (unless there was more seating upstairs) and so the acoustics can be quite loud. When we got there, there were 3 American college girls. They were loud as hell and extremely annoying. I felt a bit embarrassed since I'm from the states and here for some work. Once they left, things got a lot better. Our waitress started off a bit cold but soon warmed up and was great the remainder of our time there. As a starter, I ordered the Dolmeh which were vine leaves stuffed with rice and herbs. The rice was cooked well and the herbs were perfect. My main course was Kabab Koobideh. It was 2 minced lamb kababs with steamed rice and a grilled tomato. It was delicious but watch out for the after taste you'll have the remainder of the day. I thought this place was pretty great, but again, I've never had Persian. Therefore, I have nothing to compare this place to. I would recommend giving this place a try though.

Definitely worth a try. I think to compare Saffron with the others, I would describe it as more... refined.

The staff are friendly and children are welcome. It was quite busy when we arrived but they were still able to accommodate us with no reservation... I had the doogh to drink, which was delicious. Unlike some other places, theirs is not as thick so it's easier to drink... Then I had a skewer of chicken with a skewer of minced lamb. The lamb was really nice but I found the chicken a bit bland. I'm sure it was really well prepared but I wanted some chilli sauce and they were quite busy so it was difficult to get their attention to ask for some. Everyone else thought theirs was delicious! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something to eat in the area :)

Faanoos has been there for a couple of years or so but, although I've heard glowing reports about it from various friends, I had never been there myself... until tonight. The decor is authentic, the music pleasant without being intrusive and the clientele a mix of families, couples and friends. It's smallish (probably about 30 covers), with a large bread oven in the window giving out a comforting heat on a cold night. The food was tender and delicious with generous portions - and incredibly good value! Between the two of us we had three starters, two main courses, wine, juice and coffee and our bill came to just under £28! I will definitely be going back!

The first thing you need to do as soon as you walk in is order the pita bread. The restaurant has an on-site clay over in which they freshly bake the pita bread. A good excuse to eat more of the pita bread is to order the humus to start. It is smooth, has a natural flavour and is enough for two or three people to share. Then, after you've ordered and gluttonously eaten more pita bread you are ready for mains get the okra-lamb stew with jasmine rice and the beef kebabs (meal size). It is more than enough to give you a couple of food babies. Let me start with the okra stew. Its light, has a very soft yet full of flavor. The rice is light and fluffy. I am sure they have a rice cooker to end ALL rice cookers. The kebab's are really juicy. It's just all very good. Very very good. Just go. Please. Now.
