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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

**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!

As a Filipina, highly recommend. Went there for an anniversary and the set up and music was really chill vibes. Food did not disappoint. I only really tried their Filipino food and, even though nothing can ever beat my lola's cooking, Bintang's chefs definitely know what they're doing. That dirty fried rice oh my god🤌 Only Pinoy restaurant that feels authentic enough and worth the expense tbh. Shoutout to the two kuyas that served us as well because they were very attentive and fast with the food. Highly recommend it when introducing Filipino food to people for the first time too since they have a good range of meals and it's all halal too, so I'm definitely coming back with my friends.

Fui allí durante la temporada navideña. El lugar se llena rápido bastante rápido. El servicio es regular, y desearía que pudiera ser mejor. Ojalá la presentación de la comida pudiera ser mejor. El artículo popular era el pan plano que es delicioso. Probablemente probaré algún lugar para una cocina similar la próxima vez.
