**TERRIBLE ATTITUDE** No sympathy, cold hearted woman would not allow me to use toilet unless I was a a paying customer. What she didnt know was I had my family with me and we would have likely eaten there. I definitely did not eat there after that. People can have medical conditions and need toilet, but this ignorant woman (the owner) did not understand this. It was empty after a massive convention at the Olympia - I can see why!

I really wanted to love all the food I got as we had traveled from Lewisham to get there. So was very disappointed on the mediocrity of food, despite the very kind woman (manager?)
All the food I had was so bland: the smoked aubergine and the Fesenjan. But big portions so good value for the price, I guess? We got boxes for takeaway.
My husband had a chicken and saffron rice (which I wish mine came with rather than white basmati rice with some saffron rice sprinkled atop), with red berries sprinkled atop. He also got a side order of the yogurt and garlic sauce which was quite tasty. His verdict: nothing to write home about but good enough.
I ended up getting a side order of berries as well as mine was so bland (the Fesenjan sauce was practically flavourless).
My husband enjoyed the tea and baklava - it definitely doesn’t taste like the standard baklava which I enjoy more, as there’s more of a rosewater flavour.
Like I said, the server was so motherly I hate leaving a mediocre review. I’ve just had much tastier Persian food elsewhere.

Stunning Persian food from a lovely family. Value for money was exceptional. Best food in the area!
Vegetarian Around Cities
The food was very average. We tried different dishes but they didn’t taste of much. Quite a few vegetarian options. Service was quick and good until we had to ask many times to get a breakdown of the bill which still wasn’t broken down per dish. It seems we were bothering the waiter. I won’t go back.

The quality of the kebab was impressive. No salad 🥗 with the food except one tomato 🍅 & a slice of lemon 🍋. Maybe, we did not order any salad. However, I'm not complaining. Saffron rice 🌾 was flawless. I will return to this restaurant in the near future. But, not sure when…. Maybe in 3 years
Wanted to offer 5 stars, but changed my mind and I can only give two stars ⭐️ ⭐️ due to lack of customer service staff & an awful attitude of the customer service lady. She said she was the manager, but I expect a high standard from a restaurant manager! I could not truthfully offer more than 2 stars. She should change her behaviour or else, there won’t be any customers. Customer service is the primary pillar of every business.
