The main food was great, I actually loved the smaller portions compared to typical persian restaurants. The kabab torsh and morgh torsh were amazing!
It was a bit hot inside and the ambiance could have been nicer (eg the table placement), but the food was one of the best persian foods i have had outside iran.

It is a great place to grab some authentic/Fusion with a Western twist to Iranian dishes. With all the hype, it did not disappoint but didn’t live up to our expectations!

Being on Micheline guide, we were expecting more, to be honest!

I’ll break down the Pros & Cons here, as Persian;

- Great interior, nice decoration inside,
On the different floors, there is a portrait of Farrah, the former Queen and last Empress (شهبانو, Shahbanu) of Iran, and notes with the Shah from 70’s - and a few other historical pieces from the Persian Empire, which are always lovely to see.

Pros;

- Cosy and warm atmosphere inside, combined with great hosts, which are very charming and welcoming.
- Pistachio Cream Brûlée is the one to die for.

Cons;

Tiny portions, very twisted for Western liking rather than authentic Persian charm (such a shame).
The chicken was quite undercooked. While it was nice and tasty, it should have been grilled more to represent the Persian Jooje Kabab.
The modern twist and touch are nice, but for what you pay at any other Persian restaurant in London, you get to feed five people; only two can eat there.
- Wine is a bit pricy; again, their large glass is a medium anywhere else.
- Felt like a bit of a ripoff, frankly.

The service is good but can be better. It lacks professionalism or is a bit messy, but it's okay.

Would we return? I'm not sure.

I liked it but wasn't massively impressed. It lacks character and authenticity, and the portions are too small.

Thank You, Merci.

One of my best experiences in London. For me was one of my favourite combinations, the fresh herbs are really fresh, and all the sophistication that Iranian food brings was spectacular. The restaurant is very well located and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The place has a cozy vibe, intimate and I just missed some colours on their decor. The food was divine, specially prepared and one of the best experiences I had, we didn’t feel heavy after had different meals, proving how good they are. Highly recommend for people that likes Iranian food, or people curious about their cuisine.

So, this place is the only place in London that serves the best quality Iranian food you can get in London and they do have a decent wine collection but, if you are going there by yourself, expect to be seated downstairs literally “by yourself”. It seems they prefer to keep the upstair tables for group of people.
