Every Persian knows that there ain’t nothin’ better than Mama’s home cooking. But if we were to go out, this is where you’ll find us. Or at least, me.

Hafez I haven’t met one Persian in London who hasn’t been and who doesn’t like, Hafez. It’s traditional dishes are delicious and big! And the quirky restaurant decor adds to the Iranian flavours.

Kateh Tucked away in a beautiful part of London, Kateh serves traditional Persian dishes in a contemporary in a more contemporary, fine-dining setting. So the portions are slightly less in-keeping that what you’ll find at a traditional family meal, but the food is some of the best Persian cuisine in London.

Pardis Delicious, traditional menu with a tent-like covered courtyard out and heaters at the back.

Alounak Authentic, family-run and tasty.

Behesht As bright and garish on the inside as it is on the outside. Yummy food, no booze.
