A bustling, family-friendly Persian staple known for its generous portions, freshly baked breads, and warm, inviting atmosphere.
Ordering Strategy
Bring a group so you can order a wide spread. Always start with mixed dips and freshly baked naan, then share hearty mains like the chicken biryani and a meaty kebab platter.
What to order
Kebab Soltani & Fresh Naan
The benchmark Persian order: a mix of minced koobideh and lamb fillet, perfectly paired with bread baked fresh in their clay oven at a spot cited as one of the best Persian eateries in the capital.
Lamb Shank with Rice
A hefty, wildly satisfying plate of tender lamb served on a massive bed of saffron rice mixed with almonds, raisins, and crispy onions.
Khashke Bademjan
A rich, smoky aubergine dip that is a non-negotiable starter for the table at this popular Notting Hill establishment.

Good to know
Extremely popular with groups and families, so it can feel crowded during peak times. Note that the restaurant recently faced heavy fines and licensing reviews from the Home Office over employment practices.
