    I think this was #51

    The food! The service! The ambience! We were going to go to the KC Indian restaurant, but they closed earlier than expected so we made our way over to Saffron, and it was such a delicious surprise. I ordered the koobideh grilled lamb and grilled chicken skewers and they were to die for. All the staff is welcoming. The restaurant is pretty intimate and it gets pretty busy but it's worth the wait. We were pretty late at night so we didn't have to wait at all, if you're looking for some amazing Persian food in London this is a place to go!

    The restaurant was packed so we decided to try it. Service was lovely. Very attentive and kind. The naan bread is made fresh by a gentleman in the cubbie with the oven. We both finished our meals and were very satisfied!

    One of the best Iranian Iraqi restaurants in London . I visited always when I traveled to London. Clean, fresh and delicious food. Stuff was friendly and nice. I suggest anyone who interested halal food to try it.

    chicken kabab lunch special

    So while in London I was headed to Edgware Rd, the little Arabia of Marylebon, and as I was walking on Upper Berkeley headed to Edgware Rd, I stopped and saw a small yet inviting Perian Restaurant after smelling their kabab. IT PUT A SPELL ON ME! I went in and boy was it small! Something I'm used to seeing in London but this was especially small. But since I was there before the dinner crowd, I wasn't so claustrophobic. I ordered what seemed to be their lunch special, chicken kabab and persian tea which was approximately 7 gbp ($9.15 USD) and it was delicious! The rice wasn't dry, it was fragrant, but salty yikes! The chicken kabab was moist and delicious as well but could have used less salt as well. However the spices were excellent. Service was a bit slow but I did notice the waiters and staff arranging the tableware ambience and bar area so they were a bit busy to deal with their only lunch patron. However they were very warm and sweet when they had tended to me. Manager waved hello from the bar as well. Had the food not been so salty I would've enjoyed it more...nevertheless I gave this restaurant a HIGH 4 for attentive service and....read on.... I did leave my beanie hat behind on the chair next to me and the next day called and asked them to hold it. They said no problem. I didn't make it back over until a month later. As soon as I walked in the manager recognized me and brought before I was even seated. MY BEANIE HAT OFF TO YOU MY FRIEND for being so attentive!

    Filling and delicious for a cold freezing evening sure did lighten up the evening for me...!

    See all
