Alounak Restaurant Bayswater

"Great food the meat kabab was great and tasty but I wouldn’t recommend the chicken it was below average to be honest"

"FOOD GOOD NOTHING ELSE!! So went here because I was offered 50% off through a separate loyalty scheme if I had to pay full price it would have less stars not because of the food but the service. Good points ▪️food was nice, it was succulent pieces of meat and salad etc was fresh ▪️ prices are reasonable for this area of London THATS ALL FOLKS Bad points ▪️menu was ripped and hard to read ▪️made us sit right next to oven and extractor fan was off so almost died of smoke inhalation ▪️took over 30 mins to get food although only 2 other people in restaurant ▪️staff lacked English so much it was difficult to just tell them what we wanted or ask directions to the toilet ▪️after finding where the toilet was be prepared to walk up a thousand stairs ▪️small restaurant To summarise I would go again because the food was good but expect long delays and bad bad customer service. Plus this is not a place for disabled people who use wheelchairs."

"I have been going to Alounak for more than 15 years. Yasmine who served us was attentive and an absolute delight. The tafton bread is freshly made in a traditional clay oven, served with the mixed starter which includes the houmous, mashed aubergine, aubergine with tomato and salad olivere. For mains we had the mixed grill, the portions are big enough to feed two people. Rice, salad, chicken and lamb. Also, I recommend trying the Ghormeh Sabzi, it's one of the restaurants specials on a Friday and Saturday. Lemonade is freshly made and delicious. There is a queue almost every time I visit, but definitely worth the wait. This place is authentic with a simple menu, portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Highly recommended."

"Wow. Packed with locals. Warm, traditional and delicious Persian cuisine. My lamb kebab with rice, salad and hot pickle was beyond superb. I highly recommend. Lovely, attentive staff. I will be back ❤️"
