Naroon Restaurant

Tasty food , good portions, decent prices.
All the meats were cooked to perfection.
Very friendly staff all working very hard and well together.
Quite busy so unfortunately we didn’t have to wait a while between courses.

If you're looking to try Persian cuisine, Naroon Restaurant is highly recommended! The food quality and service are excellent. Plus, you can enjoy a free extra portion of rice and complimentary saffron Tahdig 👌

The chef of this restaurant is certainly not Iranian because, as an Iranian who knows the authentic taste of Iranian food, my experience here was not very satisfying. I would give this restaurant two stars. While the food wasn’t bad or stale, the flavors were significantly different from authentic Iranian tastes. These dishes might seem delicious to someone unfamiliar with Iranian cuisine, but for someone like me who seeks traditional Iranian flavors, it didn’t meet my expectations.

The portion sizes were small, and the prices were quite high compared to other Iranian restaurants in London. On the positive side, I must mention that the staff was very polite and friendly, and we were quite satisfied with the service. If you’re looking for a pleasant and friendly experience with the staff, this restaurant is a good option. However, if you’re seeking authentic Iranian flavors, it may not meet your expectations.

In a word: excellent. We visited Naroon Frizrovia a couple of times so far and we've found the food, service and experience to be excellent.

We visited with another couple each time and tried a variety of dishes - all were excellent, well prepared and very tasty. On our last visit we had the mixed grill (for 2), lamb and chicken. All were very well prepared, tasty and we somehow managed to finish everything as it was so delicious.

We also shared the aubergine slice, the baked aubergine and the hummus with house made bread - all were excellent with the highlight being the aubergine slice and hummus with the house made bread.

Our waiter, Moniy, who was from Uzbekistan, looked after us both times we visited. He was friendly, helpful and patiently answered our questions and he even remembered us when we returned and gave us a very warm welcome, which we appreciated.

The tables are placed far enough apart you can have a conversation without shouting and there is plenty of ventilation.

After we dined at Naroon we went to the Naroon cafe next door and had coffee and sweets. Again, the staff were friendly and helpful, explaining the sweets for us. Coffee was also very good.

We have several more dishes to try so we plan to be returning soon 😊 Thanks to the team at Naroon for a very enjoyable experience.

First time here, even though the food on display looked delicious. From the menu I tried the lamb kebab roll, and I would rate it just okay due that to it had minimal filling... just the bread lamb roll and two pieces of green peppers. Abit disappointed as it lacked more fillings.. such as more salad and sauce to add some texture and flavour.
