Maryam's Kitchen 82 Saint Mary's Place, London W5 5EX

"I’ve been trying to go to Maryam’s Kitchen for quite some time and always remember when the cafe is closed! Well today was my lucky day. I managed to get a seat inside the cafe, the place was packed (as I understand they are on most Fridays). I ordered a lunchtime rice deal for £14 and a Special blend tea for £3. The rice dish was so delicious. The chicken was moist and melted in your mouth. The rice was nicely spiced and the side accompaniments were a perfect compliment. It felt healthy, but without the loss of deliciousness. I had the radio (the crispy base of the rice) and that was so buttery and crispy. I wanted more! Luckily for me, the portion sizes were huge and I got to pack away my leftovers for another meal. The tea was floral with a slight tang. I highly would recommend visiting this family business. It’s a great asset to Ealing. Maryann also runs her own Supperclub, which you can find details of on her Instagram and website."

"Fantastic lunch.very delicious, filling & fresh. Owner is lovely & staff all very helpful. Highly recommended this place to everyone!"

"Just picked up a takeaway and it was delicious! Lamb stew with beans and pomegranate, saffron rice and perfectly crisp Tahdig. Also sides of salad and yoghurt sauce. Yum! Definitely recommend it and it’s quick to pick up"

"Recently tried some wonderfully authentic Persian home cooked food I've eaten. As soon as you walk in the restaurant you're greeted with a warm smile and a friendly wave from the owners as well as a wonderful mosaic of spicey aromas coming from the back. The dishes I've eaten have some of the best quality cuts of meat, juicy dips and comforting stews along with fresh herbs and vegetables. The servings are both delicious and wholesome, with a warm hearty taste that, somehow, will remind you of your mother’s cooking. A testament to the talented chef. Finished off with the most light and moist slice of cake I've eaten. They also have a fantastic vegan/vegetarian range of dishes that, although I'm not strictly vegetarian, I'm salivating to try. The delicious food coupled with the friendly owners will make for a beautiful and memorable experience. Highly, highly recommended!"

"Great food, incredible hospitality… would recommend this food to anyone looking to try Persian cuisine."
