Ambiance
Pros:
"I was greeted by the warm and inviting ambiance of the restaurant."
"The soft lighting and tasteful decor created a cozy and intimate atmosphere."
"Very welcoming atmosphere, chef comes and greets you."
"The decor is tasteful and the atmosphere quiet because when we went there was no music - only talking."
Cons:
"Wouldn't recommend sitting by the front door as customers don't know how to shut the door and it's incredibly drafty."
"The interior is quite simple and cozy. The only thing that reminds you of Iran is a big picture of Persepolis on its wall."

"One of the best places for Persian food in the UK. The food was fresh and flavourful."
"Meat is melt in your mouth whether chicken or lamb."

"I have had a lot of persian food last 14 years but this one… I can not understand why people gave 4.6 average."

"Came in on a Saturday and they had had to seat a party of 16 so they had given our table away but were super apologetic."
"Staff were welcoming, prices were reasonable for the meal portion, food was delicious and service was great."
Cons:
"Absolutely terrible - do not believe the good reviews, they are probably fake! Had an awful experience here where the food was pretty bad and the service even worse!"
"This man has a violent, unstable temper that he unleashes on customers—enough to cause distress to anyone whom he takes a dislike to—and I pity those who must work with him."
"I was there last week and i had the Lamb shank I’ve got food poisoning a few hours later the manger was very grumpy."
"Rude customer service, hanged up the phone without attending my question."
