I visited for dinner on Sunday with my mum. The decor is clean, minimalist and modern. Upon arrival…read morewe were promptly seated and given menus. We ordered fresh carrot juice which arrived about 15 minutes later and was very nice and pure, first veg juice I have had that tasted exactly like the produce used to make it! We ordered a starter to share of grilled smoked aubergine, egg, tomatoes, onion and garlic with a side of flat bread, which was very nice however I did add a little salt and chilli as I personally found it a bit bland. We both ordered lamb mains which came with a roasted tomato, salad and rice. The portions were good and the food very fresh. The lamb was very soft and juicy but again for me lacked depth of flavour. I did however enjoy the garlic mayo and chilli sauce which complimented the meat and rice perfectly! Although you do need to ask for it as it wasn't offered until my mum mentioned it. Due to the portion sizes we didn't order any desserts. My only criticism is about the service. It was very, very slow and extremely frustrating especially as it wasn't busy at all. I wonder how they would manage when fully booked! Unfortunately the staff spent most of their time standing behind the bar not paying any attention to the customers. In order to get any attention we had to wave the staff down, even when wanting to pay the bill. The staff desperately need further training. I would visit again however would try different dishes. I would recommended to those who don't enjoy strong flavours but do enjoy good quality food with subtle seasoning.

Delicious food, great value for money!!…read more I've been here several times now. Both for eating in and take away. All I can say is the food is amazing. Very fresh and authentic. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. For the quality of food and price it's definitely value for money. Would def recommend it.

We didn't like it. We travelled along way because a friend recommended it…read more The service was awful. The waiter seemed uninterested, unenthusiastic and unhelpful. He couldn't bother to tell us more about the food. The decor at the front with its sit down area wasn't for us. It was close to the entrance and felt too exposed and dark. We chose to sit down at a table. The chairs were uncomfortable and heavy. The whole decor was shabby. Whike we were eating, the waiter started spraying a table next to us with a disinfenctant. The spray trravelled to our table. It was awful. They shouldn't spray clean tables when people are eating. The room needs decorating. It's dirty, which makes me think that th kitchens are dirty too. Food was bland. Think of a curry with no spices and no sauce. Im sorry to say that I won't be going there again. I'm going to continue going to Knightsbridge, Kensington or edgeware road for Persian food. Go eat where real Arabs eat. Try the maroush in edgeware road. Ths Ilford restaurant is basically disgusting.

I am glad to be trying new cuisines to be able to bring these to all and this place is a real gem…read more THE MOOD: In Finchley and easy location to travel to. Authentic interior with a large bread clay oven at the front where all the fresh nans are made. A busy environment but easy to talk and make conversation so no loud music and good acoustics. THE FOOD: We had the following dishes: Kash Bademjan - Egg plant dip and although I am not a fan usually but as this was all mashed up and mixed with other ingredients it goes well with the nan as well as the sauces that come along with this. Big enough starter to share. Nan - This comes along as standard as far as I can tell and worth ordering anyway as you will need to see the size of this but 1 will be enough for 2-4 of you to share. This is made fresh in clay oven and as I say this is a must. Chello Koubideh - Lamb kofte style with rice and you get two long kofte style pieces. Nice dish and I dont think you will finish this so be prepared for take away. Morassah Polo - I am told this is the the King of all Persian dishes and comes with the Persian Jewelled Rice. The rice is amazingly fragrant and comes with a splash of colours and tastes of sweetness that complements the chicken perfectly. The chicken itself is coated with a tomato coating and chicken is moist and falls off the bone, it was just perfect. You also get a curry sauce that compliments entire dish. I actually cant wait to go back here and again lots of food so again be ready for a take away. Tadig - This is the golden crunchy bottom rice layer, the crowning glory of all Persian rice dishes! To me this is better known as the burnt bottom of the rice, in Persian cuisine, it is much sought after! This was served with some great soft succulent meat pieces served with an amazing sauce with beans and some fries. A sharing dish again and worth trying but then maybe hold off on a starter. THE VERDICT: A good place to come and actually I ordered too much but even with enough food for three maybe four the price is reasonable and food is tasty and great atmosphere with friendly staff. Ok you pack your own doggy bag but that's ok. I would recommend a visit. £50.00 for two
