Persian dining experience in London

“We popped in for a slice of Persian Love Cake for Mother’s’ Day. Absolutely delicious with subtle cardamom and rose flavours. Delicious Green Goddess smoothie too! Will be back to try your food when lockdown is over.”

“Having been ordering from here for years now, since they opened! I am half Persian so know about good Persian food as my dad is an amazing cook and this restaurant has top quality food and it’s always cooked to perfection every time I order or dine in. The koobideh and joojeh is my favourite but for a stew I always have gormeh sabzi. The chips are really nice too. I have also had catering from them for a party and as usual they gave a great service! Highly recommend.”

“A great find. The food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. Whilst I have eaten in Persian restaurants before this seemed to a cut above. We ate in and it was pretty quiet but then it was 2.30pm on a Monday in January. Even then the food was fresh, moist and delicious. We shared a starter of Aubergine and walnut with amazing bread (Kashnk Bademjan) for mains we had slow cooked lamb neck with excellent rice. (Baghali Polo) Tender and tasty together with a first for us, Dizi a traditional lamp chick pea and veg stew in an earthenware pot (Which we got to take home) that you crush then roll in bread with fresh herbs and pickles - eating the liquid as a soup. Divine. I can't say if it is authentic but I get the feeling it is. I can say it is definitely great food and generous portions. Highly recommended”

“Food is amazing, kebab koubideh and hummus was delicious! It's great to have traditional middle eastern food here in Walton that's actually made well! Waitress even served some complimentary tea and freshly made baklava! 100% would recommend”

“Absolutely delicious and well prepared food. The staff are polite and welcoming. We had Kabab Barg and Shishlik (lamb chops) and loved both dishes! Don't forget to try their home-made Dough!”

“Great experience. Kids enjoyed as well. Food was delicious and well prepared. Didn't wait for the food for long. Nice decoration inside and out. Couple of chair was out ( probably for smokers). And inviable service. Thanks for making my daughter BD special. Be back soon.”

“Great food with an adorable personal touch. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and, upon arrival, we were greeted with a candle lit table, rose petals arranged into a love heart, and a bottle of chilled prosecco! Serious brownie points. The food was great with fresh salad and good quality juicy meat. An easy 5 stars!”

“Incredible tasting menu with such personal and friendly service. Wine pairing was perfect for our anniversary dinner!”

“Brilliant dining experience. The food was very tasty, ample quantity and reasonably priced. Excellent service. Will definitely be visiting Diba again.”

“Whatever you imagine that you need to enjoy Shisha is there”

“Absolutely lovely tender food. Reasonably priced with a polite, smart young lady on the front desk.”

“Last Saturday we had a gathering of 48 guests in this Restaurant. All of them received a very warm and homely welcome. The atmosphere was excellent as was the ambiance. No task was too difficult for the manager (Reza) to perform and the service was ‘‘Par Excellence‘‘. Food looked very appetizing and delicious. I would recommend Lavash Restaurant and with full marks. Nahid”

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

“The last evening of our trip and our search for Persian food paid off. Best service, best suggestions, best owner, and by far the best Persian food I’ve ever had. When we return to London, this will be the reason. I forgot to take a photo of the meal before we began eating. But as you can see, we savored it.”

“This is a very relaxed and cosy restaurant with really good food and good service my husband says it’s best Persian food in London. They also have good vegetarian options. Really good freshly made bread.”

“Excellent hidden gem in New Malden serving up excellent Persian fare by the owner-chef. Service is excellent and the dishes full of flavour. The breads are cooked in a traditional tandoor in the dining hall are as fresh as they come. Highly recommended.”

“A must-try while in London! I seriously cannot recommend this place enough, absolutely no regrets. The food is fresh, filling and tastes amazing. Staff are very welcoming and kind, giving an overall wonderful experience! Joojeh breast was very tasty, lamb biryani was very filling, the koobideh was so yummy and juicy, and the naan with the oil and spices added the finishing touch. Paired with the classic saffron rice, these are classic dishes served right. Hats off to the chef for the incredible meals! We'll be back the next time we are in London.”

“One of the best Persian restaurants I’ve been to. The portions sizes are more than big enough and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend the lamb shank, it was soft and melts in your mouth. Also the shisha was excellent. Will definitely come again.”

“Highly recommended this branch of Farsi Restaunrant, Staff nice, food was delicious what I was expecting, reasonable price. Definitely visit them again.”

“Amazing quality and great service. Attentive staff. Nice atmosphere. The food is exquisite and the wine excellent! A must for a nice evening meal. Truly recommended.”

“Booked for a Thursday evening around 8pm. Very small place but love the intimate setting and small menu. Service- wonderful and so friendly, very happy with the overall experience. Food- so affordable and yummy! The definitely recommend the lamb with potatos and the fish curry. Thank you for lovely dining experience”
