The baba ghanoush was different and seems to be a deconstructed salad rather than what I've had elsewhere. The hummus was good. The grilled lamb and chicken kebab was quite small portions but very tasty. The bread was good. Overall not epic but a place I would not hesitate to return to.

I can't believe this place doesn't have a constant que to get in I placed my order for a mixed grill. I'm always a sucker for mixed sat down with images of kebabs and shawarma dancing in my head. I was settled in and ready to wait. The owner asked if I had been before and how I found the place. We chatted for a bit then he went to the kitchen and popped out with what he called a snack. To me it looked the size of a starter. Hummus, baba ghanouj, and something called a rabbi salad I think. They were all very good the entire time I was there everyone was very friendly and chatty much different that I usually get when I order take away On to the mixed grill I almost forgot I was waiting for food. The portion was insane easily enough for 2-3 people. There was lamb and chicken in various forms some ribs and kebabs and wings. All amazing the rice and bread were cooked perfect. Sadly I have to admit due to the large portion I didn't try the salad I had to prioritise what I shoved in my face. Perhaps I'll give that a go later after a burn off some calories I didn't look at much else on the menu but I did hear someone order a falafel wrap and it was only 3 pounds

As the Duke of Paradise I feel it is my duty and indeed my honour to award this exquisite…read morerestaurant 5 stars. Paradise is one of the finest looking restaurant in all of Glasgow. Its actually like a mini museum with hundreds of wonderful and ancient looking Persian artefacts and paintings adoring the walls and bookshelves. I could spend hours looking at all the stuff, but its not the real reason why I come here. Of course, the real reason is for the sumptuous Persian food. Persian or Iranian food is famous for its kebabs and these guys do some of the meanest kebabs I've ever had the pleasure of eating. In fact Persia offer a plethora of wonderful kebabs, like minced lamb, lamb fillet, chicken, fish and prawn. The kebabs can come singly or in various combinations and with different marinades and seasoning's. If you are struggling on what to order I would totally recommend a mixed kebab which comes in portions for 2 or 4 people. The mixed kebab for 4 also includes succulent grilled lamb chops, about 8 other various kebabs and rice or naan. I'm not even a fan of lamb chops, but in Paradise they taste so good. For a price of £49 this is an outstanding bargain. For non kebab lover there are also the famous Persian stews. These are often very rich and fragrant made with interesting spices and citrus fruits for example. For vegetarians, these will be you main options. The starters are equally good. As some of you know I am a bit of an aubergine freak and the Mirza Ghasemi (Grilled aubergine, garlic, egg and tomato sauce) is outstanding and tastes brilliant with their freshly made naan bread. Another firm favourite of mine is the Olivieh Salad, which is deviliciously addictive. If you are an adventurous type you may well fancy a shot at some of the peculiar deserts. Although most are not really to my likin, take for instance the Falode (Noodles mixed with crushed ice, rose water and sugar, served with a slice of fresh lemon) or Fresh Carrot Juice and Ice Cream. They are pretty interesting but a bit odd for our western palate perhaps. The baklava is always a winner though and the portion size can feed a few. It's worthwhile mentioning that Persia doesn't serve alcohol which obviously keeps the cost of the meal down considerably. I've been visiting this place for years and the quality of food has always been excellent. Therefore, if you fancy a taste of heaven, I would definitely pick Paradise :)
