I can't believe how good everything here is. You must get the bread and lamb combo. I was very impressed with their aubergine dishes which is eggplant based for Americans. We don't really know what Aubergine is but my Brits friends made that known to me years ago Good portion. My favorite was however the bread which was freshly made and only £2.50. Great ambience to boot. Lots of single diners and family diners. I would definitely come back next time! Really the best Iranian food!

I ordered Blush Rose Pinot Grigio & received a white wine, £8 a glass! It took a very long time for drinks and food orders to be taken. We still had no food after 45 minutes. We asked three times for Coke Zero & Ketchup for our fries and had to physically visit the bar to finally receive what we asked for. We refused to pay the service charge of 12.5% and left a £5 cash tip which was generous considering how slow and disorganised the service was. At least take drink orders and deliver them correctly if the kitchen is overwhelmed. Fantastic Food as always but let down by poor service by the two male staff in the evening.

Portion sizing was a huge disappointment - my lamb gyro was tiny compared to the cost, and it was quite delicious which only added to the disappointment that there was so little of it.

Great lebanese food! Huge servings! Lots of choice!…read more I hope you are hungry when you come here, because the servings are massive! Each plate has 3 very large skewers of meat with salad and bread. We ordered the chicken taouk and the kafta meshwi with some sides of hommous and fatoush salad. Everything hit the spot! We wouldve liked the garlic sauce to be more potent, but it did the job!

The place was small with 5 tables. We decided to give it a shot. The help was great. The food was ok. The inside was colder than outside. The patrons all had coats on and one even a hood. The door opened constantly as the waiter delivered food and hookah to outside patrons. The food was ok: taboule and hummus tasty. The moussaka was more like ratatouille. Couldn't get out of there fast enough.

After a sumptuous meal for under 10 Pounds you are ready to get back into the hustle bustle of Oxford Street.

And the place wasn't even half full so there didn't look to be any excuse for it. Luckily the food was really good and we all enjoyed our meals, despite the I attentiveness.

On my last day in London, I had dinner at this hidden little gem that makes amazing Persian food…read more My friend and I were shopping around Edgware Road tube station and needed dinner. We noticed two neighbourhood security gentleman walking by and asked for restaurant suggestions. After asking what we feel like eating as there are many good restaurants in the hood, we settle for Persian and they walked us to the restaurant and asked the "uncles" to take care of us. We ordered the small plain bread (it's huge and enough for 3-4 people), hummus (so smooth and with a light touch of garlic), grilled lamb pieces with half rice and half salad (perfectly grilled and seasoned so well) and grilled whole fish (so huge and the meat was so moist). Needless to say, we gobbled the main dishes up quickly as it was so delicious but couldn't finish the bread as we were stuffed. Dinner for two was ￡35 which is a great deal in London. The restaurant has two levels and the open kitchen is on the main level. Seating for about 20 people so it's a little place. We noticed many people did take out. Service was straight and direct and once we started taking to the uncles they opened up. If I ever get back to London, I will be coming here for dinner again.

The chicken was citrusy, well-seasoned, and perfect. The lamb? Nearly falls off the bone and juicy.

After a few hours at pub we decided to take a taxi back to the Excel only to realize many of the restaurants around here were already shut. I walked in here and asked if they would kindly serve us a meal and they obliged. The menu is big and has plenty of choice for veg and non veg eaters. The hummus to start was very nice and flavourful and the shawarma from chicken that followed was also very nice. I had takeaway from here one night and it was also quick and very nice indeed. A decent place for a meal in the area and I would happily come here again.

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
