A stalwart neighbourhood Persian spot where the smell of baking bread from the front-window clay oven sets a homely, welcoming tone.
Ordering Strategy
Absolutely order the fresh taftoon bread straight from the clay oven with a spread of dips like panir sabzi or mast-o-mosier. Balance the meal by sharing a grilled kebab platter and a stew.
What to order
Chello Kebab Sufi
Reviewers describe the charcoal-grilled lamb and chicken fillets as 'very tasty' and 'wonderfully juicy,' especially when paired with the excellent salad option.
Baghali Polo ba Mahicheh
A hearty 'dish of the day' featuring a 'wonderfully tender lamb shank' served under a 'large mound' of multi-coloured basmati rice with dill and broad beans.
Kashk-o Bademjan
Called 'probably the tastiest' item on the platter, this medley of aubergine, walnuts, and sautéed garlic is perfectly paired with the restaurant's 'wonderful seed-encrusted flat bread'.

Good to know
It is a bit of a trek from the tube stations (about a 20-minute walk), so plan accordingly. The atmosphere is very informal and family-oriented.
