Smart move by the restaurant to only offer the banquet on Friday and Saturday nights as this means they can just mass produce all the food and save the hassle of getting any orders wrong or any large delays in serving meals. ENTERTAINMENT The highlight of the night was when the belly dancer came out for a good 20min show. Here I thought she was just going to shake her belly like a good belly dancer does but no. She had props as well!! Fans, swords and walking sticks! She even pulled some people out of the crowd to dance alongside her which really got the energy in the room up. After her it was back to the DJ to transform the restaurant into a Persian night club. Dance floor was packed with people dancing to modern Persian beats. OVERALL The restaurant only opens at 7 for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. Advisable to book as the place was packed the Saturday we went.

    Interesting place with unique food offerings. Went for lunch one day (so have no idea about…read moredinner). The dining area is massive so it looks like it was designed for functions. For lunch they have a bain marie type setup with pre-prepared food waiting to be ordered. We tried a few of the chicken dishes (one was a square box looking thing of chicken and rice). They have multiple varieties of rice to choose from. Seating area is quite comfortable, and lots of room. Big window seats, but the view is of a car park. Food was nice, but the box shaped chicken rice was a bit dry. Service is friendly
