Here's what we ordered and enjoyed most: Thyme kellaj: crisp, filled with delish zaatar, perfect for me Hummus: creamy dream, perfectly balanced Labneh: thick, creamy, dreamy. Chicken Fallouj: huge portion. Perfectly cooked, no dryness and full of flavor. Went very well with the labneh. Falafel: crispy, BIG, but not as big on the flavor as I was expecting. Did like that it came with a tahini sauce and pickled turnips which cut the heaviness. Actually wouldn't get again because the other items filled me right up. The only "miss" of the meal for me. Passion fruit martini is a MUST get for you fruity drink people. Really tasted like passion fruit. The old fashioned is a miss for my husband -- he couldn't explain why but he just wasn't into it. Please note that this restaurant is in a smaller space so you probably would need a reservation on weekends.

The beans (foul) were my favorite. The baba ganoush lacked the smoky flavor that I usually love about it. But everything else was tasty and hit the spot after a day of playing tourist in London. Service was swift and nice. I would certainly come back again.

Iv'e lived in the area for years, but have only just ventured into Pars on the Harrow Road, despite…read morelocal friends telling me how good the food is and the size of the portions. The menu is quite comprehensive, with pictures to help the dish discription (to be honest, most of the dishes looked the same in the photos). All seem to come with rice and salad. There menu features a full range of Persian dishes. These include a wide selection of grilled dishes such as kebabs, as well as stews and other authentic Iranian rice dishes. Many vegetarian options are also available. I went for the grilled Chicken Shish Kabab, which was charcoal grilled chunks of chicken with grilled onions, green peppers and grilled tomato. This also came with the salad and rice. The portion was huge. If we had known how much you were given, we might have gone for one dish between us and share it. I was given a box to take home to finish the rest of my meal. There is a limited selection of wines available, but at £12 a bottle I was expecting wine near to viniger, but it was actually not bad. Pars also has a nice atmosphere. There seemed to be a few Iranians dining, which I would take as a good endorsement. I also used my tastecard which gave us 50% off the food bill. So at a meal for two coming to £26 including a bottle of wine and service, it was really good value. I plan to come back, but will make sure it is when I'm super starving!

From the outside, Pars blends right in with the bland storefronts lining Harrow Street, but inside,…read moreyour senses are met by the smell of spices, the sound of music, and the brilliance of Persian décor complete with a colorfully tiled Persian clay oven. If you didn't know better, you might think you have been transported to Persia (present day Iran). The extensive menu features chicken and lamb as the predominant protein variety. We had to sample as much as possible by ordering the Pars Special Mixed Grill, with an assortment of meat and accompaniments that easily fed three big eaters. Lamb is rumored to be Par's specialty, but the chicken is equally delicious. The fish is also very good, but be aware that fish of all varieties are seasoned and pan fried whole. Pars does not serve alcohol due to London's expensive liquor license, but they do allow you to bring your own for consumption. If you rather not tote your own beverage, I highly recommend Pars's Persian tea, served in traditional tea pots and delicate painted glasses. The tea was so divine that I broke my "no caffeine" rule and had a total of six glasses, completely ruining all hopes of adjusting to my jet lag. In addition to indoor seating on benches decorated with Persian rugs and mats, Pars also have an outdoor patio. There was a private party on the patio the evening we dined there, so we were unable to take advantage of the outdoor seating. Nevertheless, we enjoy the merry-making and traditional dancing along with our jolly good meal. Pars's patrons appear to frequent the restaurant since the proprietor knows a large number of customers. The hospitality is first rate for London standards, although a bit lacking when compared to the United States. Either way, worth a visit.
