Colbeh Restaurant

أكيد! إليك الDelicious Persian food, but billing needs more clarity 🍽️🤝

Apr 2025 • Group of Friends

We had lunch at Colbeh Restaurant – a group of six friends – and overall, the food was very tasty!

Good Points:
• We ordered one Ghozi and four Iranian kebabs with pomegranate rice – the taste was excellent and portions were generous 🥩🍚
• Service was friendly, and the staff were doing their best despite the crowd 😊
• The restaurant is small but cozy, and very popular – expect it to be a bit crowded 🪑👥

Note:
The final bill was handwritten, and we weren’t allowed to take a copy. This raised some concerns about price transparency. Hopefully, they improve this soon to make the experience more comfortable for future guests.

Overall:
Great food and atmosphere – just wish the billing process was more clear and open.

Colbeh - A Hidden Gem for Persian Cuisine in London
I've now been to Colbeh twice for takeaway, and both times the food has been exceptional. The meats are succulent, well-seasoned, and juicy, never dry, and packed with flavour. Every bite feels like a taste of authentic Persian cuisine.

Each visit, the restaurant has been buzzing with activity, with people of all backgrounds queuing outside. There's a strong Persian/Middle Eastern presence, which to me is always a great sign that the food is the real deal. The demand speaks volumes, with not only dine-in guests but also Deliveroo riders constantly picking up orders.

Service-wise, Ali has been a fantastic host—warm, welcoming, and efficient. Despite the long queues for dining in, my takeaway order was handled swiftly, allowing me to skip the dining-in queue.

I only discovered Colbeh by chance, regularly passing it while dropping off/picking up my children from school. Seeing the crowds outside intrigued me, and I’m so glad I finally gave it a try. Having eaten at multiple places along Edgware Road over the past 15 years, I can confidently say this is one of the best Persian spots I’ve found.

Highly recommended for both dining in and takeaway! If you love authentic Persian/Iranian cuisine, this is a must-visit.

Delicious and authentic Iranian food. Incredibly professional staff churning out the best kebabs in the city. Do not miss the Chelo Koobideh, kashk bademjan, and the yogurt eggplant dip. Also get some Zereshk on the side for your rice you won’t regret it. Also obviously get the special bread for the dips.

ENJOY and a major thank you to Ahmed for managing a long line of hungry people and for taking our complicated order and not forgetting anything! Best service, extremely professional, and sooo clean!

A good spot for authentic Persian cuisine! The food is of high quality, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels truly traditional, from the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the fragrant saffron rice. The service is also commendable friendly, attentive, and efficient.

The only downside is the space; the restaurant is quite small, and seating can feel a bit limited, especially during peak hours. However, it’s a great place for tasty Persian food with good service.

Absolutely amazing! Worth the visit although there was waiting time.
This cozy place is great serving the most delicious authentic Persian food. Service was fast and friendly.

Everything we've tried was super delicious:
- Ash reshteh
- Naan
- Mast o Khiar
- Chelo Kabab Koobideh with saffron rice and delicious zereshk
- Veggie Chelo Khoresh Baamieh with saffron rice
- Joojeh Kabab Boneless with fries

It was my first time in this restaurant and will come back again for sure.
