Almas Restaurant in Camden

Excellent food and friendly service!

food was very smelly .staff was very rude .

The worst restaurant ever. Meat was old and definitely microwaved. Rice microwaved as well for 1 dish. But for other meal looks cooked from 2 days ago. It smelled foul. Fresh orange juice, 1/4 seeds. Strongly disagree with any one who rated "one of best restaurant".

Delicious food which was fast.. Highly recommend the lentil soup and zereshk polo morgh

I recently visited this amazing Iranian restaurant, and it was truly a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors that transported me right to Iran. The service was exceptional, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Iranian cuisine.

A very elegant and beautiful Persian restaurant. The decor is absolutely stunning! However, we were quite disappointed with the food and service; my husbands kebab was a bit off, didn't taste right. The salad portions were very little, unlikely in Persian restaurants. The service was poor too, it wasn't busy but we had to wait for a bit for the waitress to take our order and had to come to the front desk a couple of times to order more items, she wasn't really present on the floor. The runner was not really attentive either. Overall, I don't think I will be back, sorry!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Almas restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The warm ambiance and welcoming was amazing and staff were very helpful. The service was phenomenal and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The food and the service were absolutely amazing and I do really recommend this restaurant 👌

Service was cold and unwelcoming, genuinely laughable at how bad it was. Waitress couldn’t have been less engaged with anyone who wasn’t her family. No opportunity to give feedback on food or experience and she obviously did not care. Food was mediocre - Barg was covered in butter, koobideh had no seasoning or flavour and rice was overcooked with a poor attempt at soggy Tahdig (embarrassing for a Persian restaurant). Definitely not the ‘best Persian restaurant in London’. (For the restaurant’s reference we came for lunch on Saturday 2nd Nov)

We’ve ordered from this restaurant many times, but this was our first time dining in as a family—and it was a letdown. The starters were good, though bread arrived halfway through. We ordered lamb and chicken kebabs, and my daughter had the meal deal with bagh and chicken kebab. The lamb kebab was drenched in butter, making it so greasy that it was nearly inedible. I let the waiter know, and he agreed to take it away but informed me that it would be charged which I wasn’t happy about as I only tasted the kebab, the rest was untouched. however they had taken it away when the bill came, which I appreciated. When the bill came, we noticed we’d been charged separately for the items in the meal deal instead of as a combo, leading to an overcharge of about £19. When I called to address it, they only refunded £5. With four waiters there, only ours was attentive, while the others stayed behind the counter chatting. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially from a place we usually enjoy.

What a beautiful restaurant and such welcoming staff. Food was absolutely delicious, the rice is incredible and chicken very tender and tasty. Thank you, we will return soon!

Good restaurant with lovely staff!

The best Iranian food in London. 👌🏼👌🏼

Amazing place and staff. Great food!

Koobideh with rice. Food was below average. Dry salad. Lovely service Female server algerian was very kind and attentive.

Great service, big portions, delicious yogurt dip. Shared a really lovely meal with friends here.

We had scheduled a graduation party for my son,the service and food was above my standards.If I had a choice I’d give this 10 stars

Amazing!!! The best Persian Restaurant in England

Great spot! Sara was very courteous and had great recommendations.10/10 would eat here again

Wonderful service by Sarah :) Flavourful food

I had a very nice time at Almaas restaurant for my 19th birthday , the staff was very accommodating and kind and helped me have a good time. Decor is beautiful. The food was delicious and the meat was cooked correctly and full of flavour, me and my friends had the mixed platter and there was more than enough to go around at a good value per person. We also had tabouleh, and it was also really nice, and then some chai as well to end the evening. Thank you to Almaas staff for being kind and helpful and I would return here for another meal or occasion :)

10/10 food , free chai and nice and friendly customer service cant wait to go backkk

Very nice place and tasty food,goi Service,highly recommend it

Very nice atmosphere food and service was great .

Had the best time celebrating my friend's birthday at. The vibe was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. The food we tried was on point, and the staff were super friendly and alert. We felt really special, and it made the day even more memorable. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend it for any celebration😆

Very nice food, friendly and polite staff. Special thanks to Sara. Recommend it.

The restaurant is beautiful and we went for Lunch during a quiet time, we ordered the meat platter and the sides were great but the meat was not good, it had a strong chemical taste and the lamb was very chewy. We commented this to the waitress but she just shrugged her shoulders and said “I don’t know” and took the payment. Very disappointing and would not recommend.

APPALLING service by the young girl which cannot be compensated for by the food unfortunately. Bibi in West Hampstead is a far better option for food just as amazing

Probably the best Koobideh I’ve had in the US so far

We went with 7 friends to this restaurant for an evening out but the service was terrible, food horrible and they don’t serve alcohol. I’ve been to hundreds of restaurants and I’ve got to say that this one was the worst! Avoid at all costs!

Service was very poor with the waitress not being attentive at all. Her recommendations for the starters were totally over the top. For drinks there was no alcohol served. Avoid at all costs!

Not impressed with this restaurant or the service provided. Although it wasn't busy, we waited 15 minutes and then had to remind the waitress to put water on our table. Food was only average considering the price we paid. Will not return.

The payment for service was weird!!

Being half Persian, I regularly go to Persian restaurants. Sadly this was probably the worst I’ve ever been to. I could have forgiven the sterile atmosphere & poor/cold service had the food be good, but the food was really very disappointing. Firstly the rice, which sound have been topped with ‘tadig’ (crispy rice) was soft & soggy! Then, the bread, which is apparently baked on site, was dry, stale, flavourless & tasted more like shop bought & warmed up. The Koobideh kebab was so fatty I question whether there was actually any meat content! We also asked for extra onions (twice), but this never came. The Gormesabzi was a disappointment to say the least & most of it was left. Finally, the bastani (ice cream), whilst it tasted nice, the texture was so weirdly glupey, that it was off putting for all of us! Such a huge shame as we had invited friends with us, who had never tasted Persian food before, and I felt quite embarrassed that this should be their first experience of it. Needless to say, we will definitely not be returning!

The food and prices were excellent. The food is like home cooked Iranian food which is rare to find. The owners are very welcoming and Sara the waitress was very helpful

The food is good! Maybe too good because there were no desserts left 🤭

Some of the best Iranian food in London!! And such great value compared to berenjak which comes in at £20 per kebab, this place does a platter for 4 people where each person gets a plate of tahdig for just £59. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to everyone!

The food and service was fantastic, Sara was our lovely host who made our experience so smooth and welcoming. We will definitely be returning - thank you for a fab evening!

Definitely worth a visit! Excellent selection of food... we tried a variety of the authentic starters, and got a mix grill for four to share. There was more than enough food and all very flavoursome at a reasonable price. Been to Behesht and Persian Palace which are also good and I feel do some dishes marginally better but that does not mean Almas is in any way bad. I would visit here again if I was in the area. Service was good and atmosphere okay too. Great location!

A lovely family run restaurant that makes the best Persian food in the country ! A regular spot for me and my colleagues once month.

Amazing food and service, was greeted by the lovely waitress Sara who very helpful and made our meal very enjoyable 👏🏽

It was the best restaurant in London

The food is nothing wrong, delicious in every sense of the word, and the food is clean 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Very good service and delicious food !!!

The restaurant is very elegant, the food is very delicious, and Abu Ibrahim’s behavior is very elegant and kind... my favorite restaurant in London... I highly recommend it

The best Persian restaurant in London, the owner is very respectful and generous. We had lunch there today and the food was very delicious, the staff were very respectful and helpful. A restaurant worth visiting and I will visit it every time I visit London.

Delicious food and great service.. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, beautiful restaurant, and incredible staff. 10/10 would recommend!

Wonderful place. I know I find a good one just from the look of it. Fried sea bass is perfect

If you want Persian food... do not come here, staff are nice but untrained and slow. Food quality low and little to no flavour, we came here based on the good reviews but we are disappointed. Nice outdoor seating area.

Always our pleasure to return to Almas

Quality food , clean and friendly staff .

Amazing food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere.!

I loved 🥰🥰🥰 the food was delicious

Very poor service no standard at all Food arrived in different timing keep other members of family waiting also meet has smell and bad taste

Very good, every thing was excellent.

The staff was very friendly and helpful Also very attentive, and kind especially Sara, service with a smile. Thank you

I had Jujeh Kebab, and I gotta say the chicken was flavourful and delicious. It was tender and well done - it came nicely with rice and some vegetables. I also had a garlic naan bread - it was good but not the best. I thought it had a bit too much oil. I could say it’s one of the best Persian restaurants in London, and I would go there again in a heartbeat

Delicious food!! Nice environment. Friendly people.

Delicious in a way Eggplant kashk, mirza qasemi, and sliced ​​meat barg with saffron rice, bagli polobamhshi, banana meat with dill rice. And the Shirazi salad, frankly, is delicious. I will come back again. Thank you, Sarah, for her taste and her advice. May God bless you.

Very good restaurant with generous portions. We were very well advised during the service for the choice of dishes and we enjoyed ourselves!

Great Persian food and deserts.

Had the roast beef and it was lovely! Great Sunday lunch and a lovely atmosphere. Dog friendly pub and great seating - would definitely recommend

Deserves all five stars. Great food. The hommos is very smooth. The crispy saffron rice is delicious. Many different Persian entrees to try. Great service.

Nice seasoning on the koobideh The service was great. Thank you.

great food! such a chill spot for catching up with friends. lovely staff (accommodated us very well)

The food was very delicious, we asked for kebab. Quantity, price and the waiting time was excellent, as I would like to thank the staff, Marjan and Khalil for their hospitality, they were nice and respectful.

Delicious food, great service, and reasonable prices - a wonderful experience.

Great seating area, the food was delicious. I ordered the Momtaz grill and it came with the best rice I ever had. Excellent service, the staff were friendly and very helpful.

An elegant, quiet, beautiful and clean place The food is very good, tidy and delicious The service is excellent Worth a visit

The food was fantastic. Service could be better.

Amazing food, highly recommended, one of the best Persian restaurants in London! I've been to many Persian restaurants in London but the food here is on a different level! Very underrated!

Amazing taste,quality,service 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼highly recommended 👌🏼👌🏼 It was first time for me to order for my guests and I got impressed 👌🏼🙏🏻

Lovely experience here at Almas, food is lovely and Zara was hospitable. Very accommodating and food arrived at a timely manner. Thank you for the kind service!

I echo some of the other reviewers sentiments, food wasn't 5 star by any means, the fasanjoon wasn't tangy enough, quite bland actually. The chicken in the mixed grills was odd - they use thigh rather than breast which I didn't like at all. Service was slow, yet friendly. If I was local I might go back and try it again but I'm not and so many other options in London for Iranian food.

One of the worse restaurant I have ever been. Poor quality, poor service, and even after we have made a complaint, they never apologies.

I just had a birthday party in the V.I.P lounge and my experience was amazing, the staff was very helpful and lovely and provided us with whatever we asked of them. They were very welcoming and the food was very delicious, we were able to host about 50 people thanks to them and all the guests left happy. Definitly recommend.

Very clean neat place .. service is extraordinary.. food well served and decorated .. the area is quite and calming music .. bathroom very clean with area for kids change.. an area for celebration like birthday is available with all staff ..

**Review for Almasa Restaurant** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Almasa, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly smiles and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The staff at Almasa are truly exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a fantastic dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food—simply amazing! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. From the appetizers to the desserts, each bite was a delightful journey for the taste buds. The menu offers a wonderful variety of dishes, each more tempting than the last, making it a challenge to choose just one. I highly recommend the [specific dish], which was a standout favorite for me. It was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Overall, Almasa is a gem that should not be missed. The combination of great staff and incredible food makes it a top choice for any occasion. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended!

One of the best Iranian restaurant, nice food and really good atmosphere and staff are friendly

Good lamb, good rice, good meal

Very good service, excellent food options and highly reccomend

Almas Restaurant provided an exceptional experience for our friend's surprise birthday party. From booking the private venue downstairs to the attentive service during the event, every detail was flawlessly executed. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met, and their approachability made the planning process seamless. The food was delicious, and the ambiance created by the stunning decor and lighting added to the magic of the evening. We highly recommend Almas for any special occasion - they truly know how to make moments unforgettable. A huge thank you to the entire team at Almas Restaurant!

Best Persian food in town! Fantastic service, delicious dishes served piping hot and the bread is freshly baked! Highly recommend Almas you will enjoy every bite!

Very hearty and good meal, the service was very pleasant

The best Persian food I’ve eaten by far. A lovely restaurant for the family with great service and even better food. Will definitely be returning and recommending.

nice place, super friendly staff and great food I'll be back again for sure.

If you’re looking for the best Persian kebab koobideh, then look no further. We have tried almost every Persian restaurant in London, nothing compares!

Excellent food, Service was good Must try

Absolutely amazing food and service. The koobideh was one of the best I’ve ever had! Will definitely be back

Delicious food, wonderful service and atmosphere. The best place for authentic Persian cuisine in London.

We had been starving before we found this Moslem restaurant. Almas has satisfied us with wonderful meals.
