Enjoy Persian & Iranian Cuisine at Home
I stopped with friends for dinner and absolutely loved it! The food is delicious, the portions enormous and it really tasted fantastic! And the saffron ice cream is a must! Just one thing: the lights are a bit too bright and white fit a dinnery atmosphere... Nevertheless, I'll be back!!!
One of the best, I highly recommend it. I ordered a Persian dish that we called “ghormeh sabzi” , which was amazing. The staff are nice and welcoming. The restaurant has a very clean and friendly atmosphere.
A little gem in the heart of Kensington. We went there as a massive group and they graciously hosted all of us. The food was delicious and the mint and cardamom tea at the end was a great discovery, loved by all. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening, we’ll definitely be coming back again soon!
