"Our new favourite local Persian restaurant! High quality, fresh, and authentically flavourful Persian food. We have converted all of our friends and family to come here now. Reasonably priced and a nice big restaurant, great for large groups too. The service is always great—the lovely ladies at the front are always lovely and so is the owner. Highly recommend!"

"After a long working day ,what you need is a good meal and a place to chill and enjoy that meal,found this restaurant by chance as i was passing by tbh i hit the jackpot, super clean toilets which for me is not only an important point to decide about a restaurant but also this shows how mindful are they about hygiene in their business. Talk to the owner Me kiumars and gave him the compliments straightaway;He is such a gentleman btw. The food was good aswell, tried their large kabab koobideh .the waitresses were nice ,kind and polite, took my specific notes in the order and did spot on . Thanks for the amazing experience."
