Alborz in Hammersmith and Fulham

Be cautious—this place feels like a rip-off. Always check your bill before paying. They bring items to your table that you haven’t ordered, and it seems complimentary, but it shows up on the bill. They also add a service charge, which isn’t mentioned on the menu and seems to lack any clear justification. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

I just had lunch here. The printed menu said my bill should be £16 (no mention of adding a service charge) but I was charged £17.50. The prices online add up to £17 now. I was given no paper bill. All very annoying after quite nice food. Might return but would be clear about prices at the outset. Doogh is tasty.

We all chose casseroles- ghorme sabzi, ghayme, and bamieh and decided to share. Each dish was nicely flavored and we were glad to have shared as each was very distinct. We had very friendly service and are glad we visited. Next time in the area, we will visit again.

4 glas (2dl) beer 30£!!!!! the food is average we didn't ask for dessert, they said it was a gift with the coffee

Never ever ate that disgusting food from my country. I don’t get why they open a restaurant when they don’t care about what they serve.

I ate Persian cuisine at this restaurant for the first time ever. Food was really great, service was excellent. Would love to visit again!

Brilliant place, great atmosphere, I felt like family. Awesome tea and Shisha

Great shisha, food super tasty and the service is some of the best in London

The grilled fish with rice is the best. I am a regular customer. Highly recommend this dish 👌

Just been with my wife, found it unbelievably disgusting. The Koobidee was raw, and even the waiter admitted that was not meant to be served like that. Not a word of apology from the Manager, bill was written on a piece of paper she was just interested in getting the bill paid.

very nice friendly staff, Nice place and perfect food Thank you for having us

Delicious food, friendly staff, excellent access, the best hangout for Iranians 😍🥰😍

Found this restaurant across the road from the exhibition we were visiting and gave it a try, wow so glad we did. Family run and it shows, they care about the guests and the quality of the food they serve. This place is all about the flavours and its authentic Persian cuisine. Delicious.

Lovely authentic Iranian food at amazing prices for London, the shisha and tea afterwards in the garden with heated lamps meant even during the cold winter we felt like we were almost back in summer time. Well worth the visit and well done

Got coerced into going here. Not the sort of place I was eat at. Seemed quite dirty and not clean, in general. Food was bland. Felt uncomfortable eating here as everywhere just looked and seemed so not clean. Would have left, had it not been for my friend wanting to be there!

Amazing place with great food and Shisha ! Friendly environment and incredible service .

Amazing Place been here for over 5 years

I went there for food, which was excellent! But the best experience was the cozy friendly service I got when having shisha in the back. I would definitely come back for that! Thank you guys! 🤩

We were charged an extra £7.50 when we asked the lady to split the bill!! I will not be going there again.

Delicious food and nice surroundings. Lovely family run restaurant.

The BEST Persian food I have ever ever had! The flavour is immaculate I eat lunch here everyday, the meat is cooked to perfection and the flavour in the saffron rice is unreal! The hospitality is amazing, so so friendly and not a long waiting time for the food!

My friends and i ate here today, and when I tell you they had the best food and best customer service ever, their lamb kebab is very underrated and they tea was top tier. Felt as if I were back home.

Very nice friendly service and delicious food

Food was average and a bit bland. The restaurant had a powerful smell of cleaning fluids which was unappetizing. We were allowed to bring beers from next door which was nice. Staff friendly but forgot one of the items we ordered.

The fooood is soooo good, and the portion size just right. They are so friendly and such nice people! Very attentive and friendly!

Great place for Persian food and the shisha is perfect with wide selection of flavours, highly recommended.

Sehr netter Service und die Shisha war gut! Kommen sicher wieder hier her 😊

Amazing food. Would love some music inside but other then that, wow!

Popped in around midday on a Monday, the whole place was empty. I am heavily pregnant and was desperate for a wee so politely asked if I could use their loo. They flat out said no. I can see from the below reviews others have had a similar experience. Very short sighted of the restaurant owners as they will just end up going bust. Bad business. What a shame.

Lovely family run Persian restaurant with great traditional food. Don't miss the Fasanjoon!

Nos recibieron de la mejor manera, comimos rico y natural y volvimos 2 noches de las 5 que estuvimos en Londres. Super recomendado!

Delicious food - perfect shisha - good service

I was a first time visitor, for a while ago… I ordered a Kebab kobideh £13 and asked for red wine. I was told it’s BYO (Bring Your Own!), but I could be “helped out”, so someone while eating was asked and he quickly ran out/in with a £6 bottle (Jacob’s Creek - Shiraz), which I was charged £26 for at the check out… !??! Food and wine charged on same bill (£39!!! for one person!!), so what’s the point with BYO? Is this even LEGAL, without an alcohol license…? Food and service ok, but I feel robbed/disappointed, for a bottle I could go and buy myself from literally next door’s convenient store, where their guy did the same…. Not ok!

مطعم مأكولات فارسي متميز من كل النواحي

Good it not good and payment it’s not regular.

Authentic Persian cosine. Good value. Friendly no frills staff.

**TERRIBLE ATTITUDE** No sympathy, cold hearted woman would not allow me to use toilet unless I was a a paying customer. What she didnt know was I had my family with me and we would have likely eaten there. I definitely did not eat there after that. People can have medical conditions and need toilet, but this ignorant woman (the owner) did not understand this. It was empty after a massive convention at the Olympia - I can see why!

I really wanted to love all the food I got as we had traveled from Lewisham to get there. So was very disappointed on the mediocrity of food, despite the very kind woman (manager?) All the food I had was so bland: the smoked aubergine and the Fesenjan. But big portions so good value for the price, I guess? We got boxes for takeaway. My husband had a chicken and saffron rice (which I wish mine came with rather than white basmati rice with some saffron rice sprinkled atop), with red berries sprinkled atop. He also got a side order of the yogurt and garlic sauce which was quite tasty. His verdict: nothing to write home about but good enough. I ended up getting a side order of berries as well as mine was so bland (the Fesenjan sauce was practically flavourless). My husband enjoyed the tea and baklava - it definitely doesn’t taste like the standard baklava which I enjoy more, as there’s more of a rosewater flavour. Like I said, the server was so motherly I hate leaving a mediocre review. I’ve just had much tastier Persian food elsewhere.

Delicious food, huge portions. Ice cream the best we have tried. Very friendly owner.

Stunning Persian food from a lovely family. Value for money was exceptional. Best food in the area!

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing host.

Highly recommend this place. We’re visiting from Los Angeles with lots of Persian restaurants. I can say without hesitation that the food here tops them all. The owners are also very personable and pleasant. A must try!!

Pleasant family-run restaurant serving authentic Persian dishes. Nice ambience, great food and a very pleasant owner who was genuinely grateful that we chose to eat in his restaurant.

Excellent food and service great value would thoroughly recommend

I really enjoyed eating here this afternoon, slightly past normal lunch hours. I ordered Torshi (a bowl of mixed pickles) and a main course of lamb skewers and saffron rice, and there was a flavourful tomato and a lemon wedge. Mixed together it was a burst of flavours and a juicy meal.

This is our first time trying Persian food so not sure what to expect/how it compares. But the food was delicious so that's all that mattered to us! Came to £44 total for 2 pax. Fair price and affordable. Starter was excellent, smoked aubergine, Mirza Gasemi was the star of the meal. Roti was great and we wish we got more. Mains were filling. The skewers come with saffron rice and a grilled tomato. Could do with a little less rice and a side salad as standard but otherwise, flavours were great. Lamb was tender, juicy and well seasoned. Same for the chicken. Ghorme sabzi, lamb casserole with kidney beans. Very hearty, good portion size. Meat was tender. Persian tea was also nice. The restaurant is quite basic. OK decor but no frills. Having fancy table wear and tablecloth is not important to us, just the food quality! No breakdown of receipt upon payment. The bill was accurate but it would be nice to get a proper breakdown. Staff were friendly and the service was very quick. Overall a nice meal.

Very friendly, lovely food! Would definitely come again!

+ Decent portion size + Reasonable price (cheap and cheerful) + Average quality food (satisfactory) + Good accessibility for parking in the area. - Low hygene score - Low vib - Low standard of cutlery and general cleanliness - Cash payment This is very personal but I felt the shop smells like a butcher shop. Maybe it is due to processing meat in the shop but I would use aromatic products to cover the smell.

Food and service were fantastic and the staff were very kind. Would highly recommend.

Good quality and delicious food with amazing service by kind staffs.

The food was very average. We tried different dishes but they didn’t taste of much. Quite a few vegetarian options. Service was quick and good until we had to ask many times to get a breakdown of the bill which still wasn’t broken down per dish. It seems we were bothering the waiter. I won’t go back.

The waitress with the hijab was unbelievably rude!

Wonderful food experience- we ordered a selection of starters . The aubergine hot starter was to die for! The meat (chicken and lamb) was tender, juicy and full of flavour. The Persian tea is delicious! Highly recommend !

Super sweet couple and such big portions! I loved it! Tried the saffron ice cream and it was super good. First time trying it!

Great lunch time meal , food was great , it’s really good and should be 5 stars really . The only thing that marks it’s down is they didn’t give free bread with meal.

The quality of the kebab was impressive. No salad 🥗 with the food except one tomato 🍅 & a slice of lemon 🍋. Maybe, we did not order any salad. However, I'm not complaining. Saffron rice 🌾 was flawless. I will return to this restaurant in the near future. But, not sure when…. Maybe in 3 years Wanted to offer 5 stars, but changed my mind and I can only give two stars ⭐️ ⭐️ due to lack of customer service staff & an awful attitude of the customer service lady. She said she was the manager, but I expect a high standard from a restaurant manager! I could not truthfully offer more than 2 stars. She should change her behaviour or else, there won’t be any customers. Customer service is the primary pillar of every business.

Good food and fair price. Friendly service

I used to come here all the time, When i live in London, many years ago, and i have never forgotten how lovely their food is, I’m hoping to come back soon.

Lovely dishes with delicate spcies. I really loved the skewers. Be aware that most of the dishes will serve with safron rice so the portion is quite big!

Very good food! If you are a chicken lover get #24! The tea is amazing and the dolme is so good too.

Mrs. Sara and her husband are very friendly. As for the food, in addition to being delicious, it is clean, pure, affectionate, beautiful, fragrant, comforting. It is worth the visit and several returns.

I loved the place and the friendliness of Mrs. Sara. A sweetness. The food is simply the most delicious comfort food you will ever find in your life. And they are still open on Christmas! Amazing!

One of the most delicious Iranian restaurants in London, I advise everyone to taste it .

Great authentic persian food. Got the mixed grilled chicken and lamb for 2 and it was delicious. Hummus solid too

delightful Persian restaurant with delicious authentic food, lovely service.

Went to have some lunch after VegFest today. Had lentil soup followed by lamb kebabs served with saffron rice and a grilled tomato. Good selection of dishes and would have loved their traditional rosewater ice cream but I was too full. Next time ... definitely! BTW - recommend a big pot of their tea. Lovely and scented with cardamon.

It is one of the owful Iranin resturant in London, I can't believe their unprofessional staff acts, I was sooooooooo bad. And about food , I tried I felt are not clean

Great restaurant! Delicious food with fresh ingredients. A truly Iranian experience. The service was very prompt and we felt very welcome. Would definitely recommend it!

Alborz London restaurant given poor hygiene rating after '2-week-old curry found in fridge' Check the news Avoid!!

المثل يقول..لاقيني ولا تغديني..هالمطعم يعطيك الاثنين (استقبال حلو واكل احلى ).

I came from North London to order,restaurant was empty and the owner didn't serve me because he was on the phone. Highly not recommended

Really great meal. Can only be recomended. Very friendly staff there.

Very good food, especially the Baklava and very friendly staff.

Amazing hidden gem in Kensington. Authentic Persian food without the London's rippoff. Prices are good and portions are big. I personally recommend the Fensajan chicken and Saffron ice cream for dessert.

Such delicious food served in large portions. Lovely husband and wife owners provided us with excellent service. Thank you Sara, we will be back for more.

The best persion homemade food i ever eaten in london from a long time the staff was so friendly and they had a lovely baklawa desert. Worth 5 star review

Excellent persian food , very good taste and the service is exceptional, they are very kind.

Food not great. Used to be much better.

Great and very delicious food with nice people

Very rude female waitress. Eagerly awaiting their rude response to this review

This place was great! Stopped in for a quick dinner after work, and was very impressed with the friendly service and the generous portions. Everyone working there was lovely and seemed to take pride in the service and the food. Would certainly recommend it.

Stopped by for a quick meal with my mom earlier today. It was our first time trying Persian cuisine and it was a wonderful experience. Rice cooked perfectly and uniquely seasoned meat served in minutes. Gladly took the leftovers home becayse I couldnt part with the taste yet. I would surely return if I visit London again. Love from Romania! ❤

Lovely tasty food, very friendly and helpful service. Always my favourite Persian restaurant to visit when in the area.

Excellent meal helpful knowledgeable staff great choice. Bring your own bottle as per there culture ❤️😘👍 Brilliant 🤩

Average food, unconcerned service. When I asked the server why the end of the bill way so much he blamed the calculator… we paid £35 instead if £23,

I came here and had the mince lamb , the prices Have not increase since before lock down ! The kebab with rice was £11 , most restaurants charge £16 but then these were very thin , the bread only £1.50 was not as fluffy and much smaller than usual . But then you are paying 40%less ! You pays your money and make your choice !

First visit and I thought it was pretty good, food was good and coffee was good. Food choice is good. Lots of biscuits and cakes on offer too. The place could do with spruce up but the staff are very friendly and welcoming. 👍

I've been 4 times in this restaurant. Food is really very tasty, different from Turkish or Greek. Family restaurant worth visiting!!

We tried this restaurant our first night in London and the food was fabulous. We shared an order of hummus and the dinner of 2 kebabs. We had a kebab of chicken and the other was lamb. It was served with rice and a baked tomato. The portions were so large that we could not finish everything. The service was outstanding and the owners were extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

Food was Great but service notmso good. Angry guy working as a waiter

Really delicous food (y) Will come again when we will be in London.

Excellent food. Very friendly staff.

Amazing! Relaxed atmosphere, great food, good service. Looking forward to coming back!

I didn't like the food. Maybe it was because we were late on Sunday. Don't know. Staff were respectful tho. However, they actually kicked us out because there were closing and it was just 9 30 pm!!!!!

Lovely and reasonably priced Persian foods, with friendly and welcoming owners. Will definitely visit again!

Very delicious food, super friendly staff, great service!

Great family run restaurant in Kensington, affordable prices

Fantastic authentic Persian food

Great food great service - huge portions as well!
