  We visited here at the reqof my 19 year old for his birthday. Its one of his favourite places to eat. The booking process was easy online. The staff we very attentive and looked after us and left a space for me to be seated. The food was absolutely delicious. We had some shared platters between our party of 5. The cost for all of us was pretty good too. We were able to bring our own birthday cake. Staff provided us with plates and forks to enjoy the cake. Only downside the access to the disabled loo was up some stairs. We look forward to visiting again!

  Fantastic food - had a sharer platter for three and it was uniformly excellent. Don’t miss the baclava, I had one piece (a portion is four) and my eyes got itchy it was so sweet.

  Absolutely the tastiest kebabs in town. We’re regular customers, and they never disappoint. The Shashlik, Koobideh, Chenjeh, and Jujeh are all healthy grilled options, perfectly marinated and cooked to perfection every time. It’s also a paradise for mezze lovers, with delicious yogurt-based dishes like Mast-o-Khiar, Mast-o-Moosir, Kashk-o-Bademjan, and Borani. If you’ve never enjoyed aubergine before, I highly recommend trying their Kashk-o-Bademjan; it might just change your mind! The portion sizes are very generous too, making every meal great value for money and the staff are always welcoming and professional.

  Came across this by chance - what an absolute gem! Had the saffron marinaded chicken with rice and barbaries. Recommend this restaurant. Staff very helpful.

  A taste of Persia in the heart of Nottingham! 🇮🇷✨ The ambiance feels authentically Persian, though it could use a touch more heritage mostly just photos of landmarks on the walls. I went for the famous Koobideh kebab, and it did not disappoint. Flavorful, satisfying, and served with a smile. A lovely experience that I’d happily repeat!
