Recently awarded by tripadvisor as “The Best of The Best” in 2020 & 2021. "Traveller's Choice" in 2022, 2023 & 2024."Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years. Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes.

Everything was wonderful, from the ambiance to the service. However, the only downside was the portion size of the Valentine's special, which didn’t quite meet expectations.

The manager lady was not doing her job at all. It took 20 mins for our drinks to arrive at the table and we had to ask for water three times, this was still forgotten about so I had to get up and get my own jug off the counter. There were only two staff serving on a busy night and the service was just not there.
