Alborz Restaurant

Just been with my wife, found it unbelievably disgusting. The Koobidee was raw, and even the waiter admitted that was not meant to be served like that. Not a word of apology from the Manager, bill was written on a piece of paper she was just interested in getting the bill paid.

The BEST Persian food I have ever ever had! The flavour is immaculate I eat lunch here everyday, the meat is cooked to perfection and the flavour in the saffron rice is unreal! The hospitality is amazing, so so friendly and not a long waiting time for the food!

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.

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.
