Patogh Restaurant

As lovers of Persian food, we had high hopes - but unfortunately, this place was a real letdown. The food was incredibly bland, lacking any of the rich seasoning or flavour you’d expect. The rice, usually buttery and aromatic, was plain, and the kebabs were dry and overcooked, not juicy or tender.

We ordered the traditional mint yoghurt drink, but it was so sour we genuinely wondered if it had gone off - or worse, if we’d been given someone else’s leftovers.

We paid £50 for two people: two minced meat kebabs with rice, bread, and hummus. Somehow, the server brought us the most expensive options without clarifying, when we’d asked for plain naan and two glasses of the yoghurt drink (£2 each), instead, we were given a £6 jug. These price differences matter, especially when the food doesn’t deliver.

Overall, not worth the money or the experience. We won’t be returning.

Authentic Persian/Iranian food. Great taste. Freshly made food. Tried their lamb kebabs. Restaurant is very small. Extra seating upstairs. Been going to this restaurant for many years. The interior needs some attention to improve the ambiance of the place.

Great customer service and same rusty atmosphere but sadly the food is vile cheaply made undercooked kababs, watery rice 🍚 and old salad 🥗 plus the tea was particularly bad. Please stay away from this place it’s not each cheap it’s £15 for a nasty Kabab you’re better off finding another Persian. As, I got a feeling no real Persians work there anymore or if they do they have become so greedy that they selling nasty food as fake good value you have been warned. The picture looks great but food so pure vile and nasty..this is a community announcement 📢 there are much better Persian restaurants nearby!

Decor rough and ready but friendly efficient service and great food at a reasonable price. No alcohol for sale but you can take your own. I would happily return.(normal bread was £4 and very good. Special bread is £8)

We were in the area and given it's Edgware Road, we needed to get our kebab fix. Between the two of us, we shared two main dishes - the mixed koobideh and mixed chicken with half salad and half rice and a side of hummus. They were generous in portion size and tasty.
