Small but elegant and cosy place, tucked away off the Warwick avenue.
It seems family run. Very pleasant and attentive service. All adding up to definite up-market image.
V.s. usual Iranian places menu is refreshingly short, but still contains all the favourites. Cooking is obviously authentic and of high quality. Still not pompous and not chefy.
In order to cover wide variety of dishes, two of us tried non-meaty starter, stew and grill dishes. All very well cooked.
After enjoying Iranian food in London for last 15+ years, I can say that grill (veal and lamb mince) was of the highest quality. Also the desserts are very authentic and well presented. Lovely food, atmosphere and a bottle of very potent French red (£22).
Final bill came to surprisingly low and unexpected £70. Anything around 100 mark, for this experience would not surprise me and will not be difficult to pay. 70 is a big bargain. No, make that huge bargain. And one more very important detail: service is not included in the bill.
Will be heading back at my earliest convenience.
