I have tried almost all the dishes of this restaurant and I am a regular customer, all the dishes were excellent except Fasanjan which was really shocking, the original Fasanjan which belongs to the city of Rasht has a sour taste and is black, this Fasanjan was sweet and red.. Considering that not everyone likes sour, you could use a taste between sour and sweet, but this was too sweet and nothing like Fasanjan, it was so sweet that you can order it as a dessert....

I had a pretty poor meal. my starter of home made Hummus and flatbread was really delicious. Fresh and flavourful and very filling. When my main course came Saffron Chicken Stew I was very disappointed. The broth of the stew was watery and flavourless. The pieces of chicken too were over boiled boiled and had no taste. I wish I'd had the grill instead. but 10 out of 10 for the Hummus.

Fantastic portion, lovely succulent mixed grill, the rice was unbelievably soft and light quite possibly the best I've had.. The baclava was sensational too. Couldn't ask for more. 5*.

Just have recently moved to Newcastle from outskirts of London. I have been to the best Persian restaurants in London (Persian palace, Molana, Piano,… the list goes on) but this place has phenomenal food and easily beats them. Generous portions, fresh and homemade! 10/10 experience, very decent price and cannot recommend it enough.

I came to this restaurant based on my father’s recommendation; he told me that he used to eat at this restaurant 20 years ago, and yet this is one of the best Persian restaurants around here. The owner of the restaurant, Davood, is very hospitable and friendly with the customers. Everything in the restaurant is freshly made every day. Absolutely delicious food; highly recommended. They also have upstairs extra tables and spaces for family and friends' occasions.

A friend called in today at lunchtime whilst I navigated the city centre traffic! Asked him to get a chicken kebab .... option of rice or chips. Whilst the 7-8 pieces of chicken were flavoursome, there was no salad or any form of bread which I would expect with a chicken kebab, only a half grilled tomato! Served with skinny (frozen) fries!! My friend said he was made to feel welcome whist he waited. But charged £13.79 for privilege 😲. Very overpriced for a lunchtime takeaway for what was basically "chicken & chips" Really disappointed after reading reviews such as "great value" etc. 😞

We recently visited Persia . We were a party of four, including two adults and two children. We ordered the mixed grill for three, which was really good. It came with a variety of meats and vegetables, including chicken kebab, lamb kebab, chicken wings, and lamb chops. The humus and freshly baked bread were delicious as well. We also had Persian cocktails—they were on special that night! Everything was so good except for one thing: the quantity of food we got wasn't enough to fill our bellies. If you're looking for a parking space nearby, be prepared to walk at least 500 yards in any direction—we ended up paying £62.35 total (which includes service charges).

I had really nice experience in this restaurant , everything was good , i liked the home feel ,staff kindness and of course the food was top quality especially the Nans, this is one of the rare restaurants for which reviews actually match reality, Antonio did all what he could to make feel comfortable and happy, i wanted a fresh mint tea at the end and i got it and i don`t think this is standard menu offer , another gentleman in the kitchen was very kind and attentive also, he saw me glancing to the very appealing dessert (baklawa like) and kindly offered me to taste it and that was delicious (authentic taste and crunch ), i can`t tell you if this is authentic Persian or not as i don`t know much about Persian food , the food is very similar to oriental food and tastes really good i have enjoyed everything i have ordered .don`t hesitate a second to go and try their dishes you will be delighted. something to know is there is a 10% service charge automatically applied

The most amazing food in Newcastle. My colleagues and I spent 36 weeks living and working in Newcastle, and this traditional (and fully authentic) Persian restaurant became our firm favourite. We'd eat there at least twice, often three times a week! My only caution is that the restaurant was established for the local immigrant population in Newcastle; as such, do be aware that the food is authentic rather than Westernised. Wonderful owners, wonderful staff, and wonderful local Persians. We absolutely loved it. If you have the time (as we did) try everything on the menu. You'll keep coming back again and again.

Tried here because pursian bite was closed, what a disappointment it was from the off the restaraunt was cold, we kept our coats on it was that cold. Wife ordered a sabzi which was very watery, me and the son had a mixed grill for 2 which was alright I suppose, portion sizes of rice and frozen chips was pathetic tho, the service was slow and there was hardly anyone in the place so no excuse really. They added money onto the bill also which is the main reason I would never return, 1 mixed kabab for 2 @25.50 1 sabzi @11.25 2 nan @xxxx 2 275 ml coke @£5 1 bottle still water @2.20 Cost of bill £58 THAT'S SOME EXPENSIVE NAN BREADS THAT IS, ADDED SERVICE CHARGE WHICH THEY DON'T MENTION ANYWHERE.....MY OPINION IS AVOID AND GO TO PURSIAN BITE, HALF THE PRICE AND TWICE THE PORTION SIZES, OH AND THE FOOD IS A MILLION TIMES QUICKER, BETTER AND FRESHER

Booked for a weekday date after wanting to come here for several years. We ordered the sharing mezze platter, then shared the 3 skewer main with chips. The food was delicious, in particular the stuffed vine leaves from the platter. The staff were kind and caring, making our meal a great experience. We would definitely come again, and recommend to others. Thank-you for a lovely meal!
