He visitado este restaurante en mayo junto con un par de visitantes del extranjero. Estábamos buscando un lugar con buena comida y música para bailar. persa La comida era fantástica, especialmente el kebabs. La música fue excelente y tuvimos un gran tiempo para comer y bailar. Este es un restaurante familiar y todo el mundo está trabajando muy duro para mantener a los clientes contentos. Si quieres una noche rodeado de gente buena, entonces éste es el lugar para ir.

Unfortunately have to report that this restaurant has now changed hands and is not as good,sorry to say

Este restaurante solía ser muy buena hace un par de años. Ayer estuvimos allí para una fiesta de cumpleaños. Parece ser que el dueño ha cambiado. La comida no era nada cerca de lo que solía ser antes.

Detenido en por casualidad mientras caminaba. Hija del propietario ofrecido sugerencias de platos diferentes para probar. Lo hice y estaba más que satisfecho! #36, #38, #50 eran todos ordenados por las personas alrededor de mí. Me decidí por una pierna de cordero con arroz y frijoles plana (fue increíble!). Después de un par de cervezas y de limpieza la placa me ofrecí mi tarjeta de crédito... su máquina estaba inoperable, así que él me dijo que pagará más tarde. Traté de conseguir efectivo, pero era demasiado tarde en la noche, así que él es conseguir una tarjeta de gracias, dinero y consejo para la cena y un regalo de ST LOUIS ESTADOS UNIDOS enviará a él de mí, como mi más sincero agradecimiento! Gente maravillosa que me alegro de haber visitado y comimos con!

La comida siempre es cocinado a la perfección y hemos estado aquí muchas veces. Generalmente pedir su pechuga de pollo en un pincho y tierna y sabrosa. Mi hijo normalmente órdenes lgrilled amb que también es deliciosa. Luego de la comida es muy similar a la comida persa y las porciones son muy grandes. El pan es preparado en sus tgheir claypot mientras espera y es delicioso como bebida de yogur especiado es su.

The staff is absolutely lovely and everything on the menu is delicious. I would highly recommend it to everyone passing by xxx

This place looks like a family business, usually those ones fail you but from the first time we went there which was few months ago every week we go there at least once, perfect food. from just going there and order few starter as dinner or have guest we always enjoy the food there,

I love the food at Azerbaijan Restaurant and would recommend it to anyone, however the last two times I placed an order it was declined by the restaurant. The restaurant never contacted me personally to explain or apologise. I only received notifications and an automated voicemail from JustEat advising me to try another restaurant. I hope Azerbaijan Restaurant can fix their service in the future as I enjoy their food.

Sólo 3 círculos como tripadvisor no tiene 'buena', pero es un poco por encima de la media. Mi pareja y yo vinimos aquí después de un día y éramos los únicos clientes. El personal estaba bien neutro, ni bueno ni malo simplemente haciendo su trabajo, pero el dueño o gerente (?) (?) sólo parece medio interesado. Está en una buena ubicación y tiene bastante buena pinta, y el menú parece bueno. He tenido una excelente comida azeri antes, así sé que puede ser muy bueno. Este también era muy agradable, especialmente el arroz que estaba muy bien ejecutados, pero pensé que era un toque caro ya que no era extraordinario. Noté muchos entusiastas, críticas "excelentes" de aquí, así que no estoy seguro de qué decir; quizás no ordenamos el derecho platos. Aún así, decir que es el mejor iraní en Londres? Puedo pensar de otros que le daría por su dinero - tal vez vale la pena una segunda visita para ver...

Yo soy iraní y han decidido llevar a mi familia y a mi madre a este restaurante, ya que había escuchado acerca de nuestros amigos.

Por suerte una corta distancia a pie desde donde vivimos, nunca me he preocupado de probar este restaurante a pesar pasando por varias veces. Pero los huéspedes desde el extranjero solicitado cocina persa, hice una investigación, vimos las buenas críticas, y finalmente decidí probarlo. No nos decepcionó. La enorme meatball efectivamente era delicioso como todos los platos a la parrilla. Los postres eran igualmente delicioso, no demasiado dulce, y generoso en porciones. El chef también era muy hospitalario y nos ayudó a pedir una cantidad apropiada para nuestro grupo -en realidad, no se deja a los residuos. Sin duda volveremos.

Vi buenas críticas así que visitamos, el lugar estaba lleno pero no acuse de personal por unos 20 minutos. Tuvimos que esperar años para conseguir menú, y luego esperar años para para luego esperar años para que los alimentos lleguen (aproximadamente una hora había aprobado ahora) que estaba tibio en platos fríos ... En general una buena experiencia pero no parecía que un buen lugar!

Fantastic Persian foods, great service, we really enjoyed it. Desirable place with true Iranian character; charming,friendly and colorful.

We have been regulars here now for the last three to four months, and we have yet to have a bad meal or experience, the food here is superb in every aspect,freshness,presentation and a sublime wine menu to choose from.my friend anni normally on a Friday likes her mint tea which is served from a beautiful tea set ( like I said presentation counts)and if we are there on a Sunday a large full bodied red wine,smooth and rich.we are gradually going through the quite extensive menu.the sea bass I had on friday the 19 th was moist and succulent,anni had quail as her main and was just as impressed. From the traditional to the new Persian meals .this family run restaurant is in my eye, simply the best

Took my girlfriend for Valentines Day. Warm welcome, warm seats near the bread oven fantastic food and great service. Can't wait to return!

Warm, friendly service, helpful staff. We had an amazing time here, tried the aubergine-lamb stew, tender, delicious, melted in my mouth. Generous portions, my husband couldn't even finish his meal. The owner (manager) of the restaurant was kind enough to offer us some dessert on the house. All in all, we had an excellent time, can't wait to go back! Would definitely recommend!!!

I love this restaurant and keep going back as time after time they never fail to satisfy me. I'm Persian so I have eaten a lot of Persian cuisine and out of all of the Persian restaurants I have been in London, the food here is really the best! It's all about the excellent flavours and the attention to detail with their presentation. Most other Persian restaurants in London have very bland food and sloppy plates are often served to you. Not at Azerbaijan restaurant though. The staff are also wonderfully friendly and always quick with their service. It really is one of my favourite places to dine, whether it's for a quick lunch or a lovely evening dinner with friends.

What can I say about this place? It's absolutely amazing! The first time I went there was in July 2015, but I went again last night for my husband's birthday. The place was just as wonderful as it was last summer! The staff is so patient (I think it is run by a family based on conversation with the staff) and their recommendations are great! The first time we went was with my parents who were visiting from the US and my dad is very picky about EVERYTHING (I mean about where to sit, the food, EVERYTHING). The hostess/waitress was so patient allowing us to switch tables, turning down the music, patiently explaining the menu items, even getting a sample of their saffron for my dad to see for himself! Needless to say, he was won over by this place, which was no easy task!The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous! While the meats are divine, even our vegetarian friend was quite pleased with the okra dish she ordered. My lamb chops were stunning, and the naan bread was made fresh in front of us and was incredible! The prices are also very affordable and such a bargain for the portion sizes.All in all, this place is going to be a regular visit for us!

Lovely food and lovely customer service. We shared a started and had a chicken and lamb dish both cooked well well!

My girlfriend and I's first time eating Azeri food (chosen as the A in our A-Z of world cuisines!). Had no idea what to expect. The owner served us and was very helpful in recommending dishes. I had lamb shank with dill-infused rice, and gf had an aubergine and tomato lamb stew...both delicious! Highly recommend.

Ottimi piatti,buonissima la zuppa di lenticchie,il loro tipico pane,e il the digestivo..prezzi nella norma.. bella esperienza!

Fantastic food, excellent prices, they offered a nice side salad at the beginning and some small pastries at the end, which we really appreciated too! We really had a fantastic time there!

We went to Azerbaijan on a cold afternoon in late November. The restaurant was warm, the food hot and delicious. We are vegetarians and had gone to the restaurant because we were curious about Azeri food, and happy to find vegetarian options so we could sample the cuisine. We were not disappointed.We had an eggplant appetizer. The dish was cold (as it was supposed to be) and beautifully spiced. They made some delicious nan to be eaten with the dish in a tandoori oven in front of our eyes. It was one of the best naans I have ever tasted! We ordered 2 more entrees, and were struck at how different each of our 3 dishes were from each other, and all delicious in its own way. We rounded it off with a plate of baklava.Service was also very good. The owner was most charming and hospitable, as was the wait-staff.

Visited here with a friend, the owner and his daughter made us extremely welcome. We shared various starters and a mixed grill, Food was brilliant, cooked perfectly, will definitely be returning.

This restaurant is located just at the back of bus stop, and easily found. Meats are delicious. My recommendation is the hot bread baked in the walls of spherical furnace.

Had meal yesterday of grilled lamb shashlik. So tender & succulent! Worth travelling to from High Wycombe! Authentic Persian cuisine.

Beautiful food was really pleased with starters and main course and very nice and polite people .Would highly recommend. .............................

This is our spot with my colleagues whenever we crave for top quality food and we feel homesick. Definitely should give a go and I promise, you won't regret it!

We went in towards the end of lunchtime on Saturday and were served by who I think was the owner. The portions were massive and the service was the most attentive and personal I've ever had in a restaurant. We had the fresh nan (made in front of us), the oat soup (delicious, so many flavours in it) and chicken and lamb skewers which were served with tomatoes, a chili and tons of rice (with pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top). Also got a delicious free salad. Service was very attentive, like we were guests. My only complaint was drink prices were huge (~£2.50 for a can of sprite) but all restaurants seem to make their money on drinks! We'll be coming here a lot more

Went here this evening and I have never tasted such bland food in all my life. The starter was vile and we hardly touched it. The fish was tasteless and the lamb was over cooked. The manager asked us why we didn't eat our food and we said it had no taste. He still didn't offer us anything as way to compensate. £63 later and can't believe it. It's actually the worst place I have eaten at.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, excellent quality food made from fresh ingredients. Strongly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!

We arranged a business meeting here after attended a restaurant show in central. Really struggling to choose from menu but at last I ordered mahiche polo ( Shang lamb with rice) and asked very spicy. I loved it but found slightly cooked with more ghee but less spicy for me. Paneer sabji was like they bought from some supermarket and warm in microwave. Anyway we had given plate of salad and some sweet free. If you like semi hot curry, I will recommend to visit. Those who loves spicy should go nearby them like Potli, Indian Zink etc Indians.

Dolmas and eggplant appetizers were great and the lamb shank was out of this world. Recommend the green rice with the lamb shank. Friendly and relaxed service, great place to linger over a delicious meal.

2nd visit to this restaurant. Greeted warmly by the waiter and the owner. Table found straight away, drinks and food order taken promptly. Great menu choice, many different eastern inspired dishes with very fragrant , fruity and aromatic sauces.The aubergine dip and the hummous served with the warm flat breads were delicious.My main dish was chicken in a pomegranate and walnut sauce, sweet, fruity and a really deep nutty taste highly recommend.Very reasonable bill. Will definately visit again.

I say Top because I've said The best to many. But seriously I've always been satisfied with the food taste, quality and freshness. Chef's know-how is this restaurant's advantage. Service is not though.

The food in this place is pretty average and they will also try and take cash from you when you pay (which really frustrates me as a customer). I am really surprised with the high ratings of this place. Plenty of other restaurants that are better!

A warm welcome here. The aubergine starter was light but excellent. The khoresht ghormeh sabzi (lamb stew) was beautifully fresh, the herbs wonderfully green and the lamb nice and tender.

A superb restaurant to taste the legendary Persian and Azerbaijani food. Very clean, friendly and professional. The hot naan made in the oven on the premises served with various starters was a good way to start our lunch, followed by the most amazing dishes of meats, salad, Persian zafaran rice, chicken,etc. All meats were barbequed on charcoal, presented beautifully accompanied by excellent service. We're back inPortgal now, but will make Azerbaijan our first place to visit on our next journey in September.

We often dine here and find the food really fantastic, and the service is always very attentive too. Weekends you can pay a set price for a menu with music and dancing in the funky underground area. It has a very rustic feel and the food is good quality. The only issue I have encountered on more than one occasion is when they bring out sweets that you have not ordered at the end of the meal and then charge you for it when you are in a group - this is misleading and unfair - and frankly other restaurants like Maroush etc give you those sweets and even fruit after the meal at no extra cost. Naughty! so remember to say no thank you if they are bringing out things you did not order!

Well where shall i start off! I have been here many times as this restaurant has never failed to exceed expectations. From the outside the restaurant has a beautiful set-up complimented by a really cool motorbike owned by the manager. Then as you enter you are welcomed immediately by a friendly waiter or the manager himself. There are a variety of seating options as there is a downstairs venue as well that caters for any sort of special occasion. The atmosphere is brilliant, with music playing in the background and the different art pieces hanging on the wall that really makes you feel like you are in Iran or Turkey. The service was quick, and the food was cooked to perfection. We started off with a beautiful selection of starters accompanied by home-made bread all of which give a different unique taste to your pallet. We then had the main, i went for the quail, while my friends went for mixed kebabs and lamb chops all accompanied by rice and salad (which i must say is one of the best salads i have had they make there own salad cream). All the food was served hot and well presented. The price was very reasonable for the large amount of food we had. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for new experiences or too have that back home feeling.

There are many restaurants along king street but this one stands out for the great service as the staff is very attentive and offers us little extras on the house. Azerbaijani food is very similar to Persian/Iranian and is either a very fragrant meat with gravy or grilled kebab - this place does not hold hold back on quantities and at a descent price. Try it if you like unusual hearty food!

Azerbaijan is the latest in an enclave of excellent restaurants on Hammersmith King Street. The food is delicious and full of rich Central Asian flavours - pomegranate, 'turkish' green chillies, orange, apricots. The yoghurt based starters are deliciously savoury (and quite heavy); the grills are superbly succulent, and the gravy based dishes (we had fessenjan and bademjan) are subtly different from each other. The Azerbaijani Nan, baked in a clay oven inside the restaurant is a great touch - the smells make you salivate as soon as you come in.We've been here a few times now, as a couple, with friends and with a large family group. The food and service have been great every time, with one or two dishes 'courtesy of the manager' appearing on the table pretty much every time. Highly recommend this place, and if you're in the mood, go for a bottle of the Georgian red wine.

On New Year's Day 2015 me and my partner thought we would try a new cuisine and with so few places open we opted to eat here. I know that I'm tying this review 6 months later, but it was such a bad experience I remember it vividly.The place was empty apart from a couple with their noisy infant, which I didn't mind until the waiter sat us right next to them. It was a bit awkward for both me and my girlfriend an the couple as it was obvious the waiter should have sat us elsewhere. Eventually we was. The waiter wasn't too knowledgeable on wines so passed us onto the manager, we stated we like Malbec but willing to try something new. We tried a Georgian wine after deliberating and speaking with the manager. Wasn't our best choice but we did want to try something new.Our starters were bland, they wwere the hummus and tabbouleh. The fresh bread was much nicer on its own. We wasn't offered any water at all while we ate. Before we finished the starter we were given our mains so had a lot on our table. I ordered lamb with herbs and fresh lime with saffron rice. Instead I received lamb drowned in a dark green sauce that has the same colour as mint sauce from a jar, but as much flavour as the glass jar of the mint sauce. I found the lime, it was extremely sour and tasted off. The rice was just buttered, no saffron seen at all.Staff were clueless, food was poor The fresh bread was the nicest thing there. I do realise we wanted to try something new, but new as in a good experience not awful food.

With my family on a trip to London while fasting we decided to open our fast at a restaurant and picked up Azerbaijan because of reasonable reviews on trip advisor, I am shocked as I never had such bad experience in my life,the food was badly cooked slowly served,the waiter looked unwell and only two he suggested to my wife please use the same spoon as we are busy and can't get you another.I usually ignore these things if the food is good,but it was bad and 3hours later it proved how bad my only meal of the day was I had cramps in my tummy felt nausea and had lots of diarrhoea.my worst experience ever.

The food at Azerbaijan is lovely and not like anywhere else. My favourite are the stews with lime or lemon. It is also worth trying the special rices that accompany any dish. I had never tried Azerbaijan food (where else could you?) but this is lovely. It is unusual but tasty. Definitely worth trying something different.

The three of us were staying in Hammersmith. With so many ethnic restaurants to choose from we decided on Persian. Did we ever get lucky! The Azerbaijan offers excellent food, service and atmosphere.

Walking through king st with a dear friend we discovered this lovely place. Neither of us had tried this cuisine before so we were a bit unsure at the beginning, but decided to give it a go. Service was really good, very welcoming and always eager to help and make recommendations on food/wine. Complementary salad while waiting. They prepare flatbread there an then in an oven by the window. We tried Georgian wine and it was really good. Our food was very very tasty. Portions are on the large side so those with bigger appetite.A definite must to try.

Evening started with a complimentary salad whilst we chose our food. Good wine choice, Georgian wine is really good. They made amazing flatbread to go with our starters of houmous and aubergine yoghurt dip. The waiter recommended some dishes and we weren't disappointed . Great chicken in a rich walnut , pomegranate sauce plus a massive dish of grilled lamb chops. Great , friendly service and good value. Will be back

Great food, very friendly staff. Definitely worth every bit of it. large portions with great quality

Great food and service, staff make you feel welcome. The food is always fresh and high quality. Would recommend to all.

This is my favourite Persian restaurant in London. The quality of food is superb and prices are very reasonable. We have tried many of their starters and main dishes and they have all been of good quality and very tasty. My husband is a vegetarian and it is very hard to find good quality vegetarian food in other Persian restaurants but he is always very happy with the food there.

Wonderful food, especially the aubergine and tomato dip and flatbread. Sat next to Persian couple who said it was just like home cooking!

We visit this wonderful at least once a week and have tried almost everything on the menu! The food is delicious and is just like my mama's cooking and very reasonably priced. The service is always warm and welcoming. We would definitely recommend going here as both the vegetarian and the meat dishes are incredibly scrumptious. A real treat for your tastebuds!

Never eaten this Iranian/Azerbaijan cuisine before but the food here is incredible. With us being big foodies, we didn't think it would be this good and value for money is superb. Highly recommended and you must try the yoghurt drink!

The food was delicious. Staff very polite and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the service was poor. However I would highly recommend the restaurant.

Very lovely Resturant lovely food high quality thank you

Eating food at this lovely resturant is so enjoyable, the food is amazing and the owner and the staff are so nice and approchable.You will also have a two free starter including a big plate of salad for free.The grill kebab is amazing. We have tried many resturants in London, and this is one of the Best.

Very lovely Resturant lovely food high quality thank you

food was not special,unbelieveably expensive,service was inappropriate,It was the first and last time that i visited there,I don,t recommend to others.

The food was good but the service was terrible. The plates were so big that we didn't have enough space on the table left for our drinks. Reserving the table we asked for no music; however, to our surprise, a table was chosen for us in the basement where very loud and badly played music was being played. It was so loud that we couldn't hear one another. The food took ages to be prepared. It was my birthday and I regret that I chose this restaurant to celebrate.

This restaurant does nice Iranian food and has a great warm atmosphere.The food is also unique as it originates from the Turkish area in Iran which is difficult to difficult at any other Persian restaurant in London.Went there with my family, liked it very much and would be definitely visiting again... Soon

I wish i could make a comment on the food on offer but unfortunately we never got to even taste it. 1) place takeaway order at 7.30pm. By 8.30 nothing has been delivered to our address which is about 10 minutes down the road. 8.35 i make a call and politely ask about our order. I am told by a very dismissive and angry man that it is on the way. By 9pm...still nothing. Call again, just to be told that the delivery man has had a car accident and he is delayed. I say im very sorry to hear that but still wonder what is happening with our order. The manager assures me that by 9.30 we will have our food. Well 10.30, still no food i make the third phone call quite angry and the manager claims that the delivery did sort of happen but they couldnt find our address. I ask why he didn't perhaps call me and he claims they did but my phone was switched off (it obviously wasnt). At this point i just say that i dont want anything from them but a refund for the food i had already paid online. Not sure i will be getting that back either as the manager said he can still deliver the food (3+ h later) and i am being difficult for not wanting it anymore. Shocking service and shocking attitude. Will never go back even if the food is divine.

We booked for 30 people dowstairs as it was my friend and my birthday. The staff were really tired and unfriendly and I had to wait half an hour for a drink at the bar!As they thought we were drunk they tried to charge us twice for a drink!( they get the money right when you order the drink)As they had a bar!!!! They did not let us open a champagne I got for the occasion!The singer was awful!All he did was to pretend he was Ebi! For heaven sake we were there to dance and party not to listen to his sad music!Overall I will never go back as it was a waste of money!At least if the manager was more friendly we wouln't feel that bad!

Ordered lamb shank dish with aromatic rice, and another lamb dish with lentils - all very tasty, tender lamb with Asian automatic spices, their version of naan bread is freshly baked in an open bread oven - light and delicious. Good choice of mains, and generous portions, complimentary fresh salad was a nice touch, friendly staff - sit in or takeaway, was definitely worth a try.

Very good food and very fresh! Definitely one of the best Persian food I've had.

It has been over a month since my wife and I dined at Azerbaijan but I still can't forget the exceptionally fine Azerbaijani dish I was served, a single lamb meatball with a savory gravy such as I've never had before. It was large enough that I almost had to leave some--and should have--but simply couldn't. The flavors were so rich and complex and the texture was tantalizing, compelling me to keep eating until it was all gone. My wife's lamb, though not quite as unique, was also perfectly done and bail utterly delicious. Our server was gracious, attentive and informative, explaining that the meatball dish, though certainly not the priciest thing on the menu, was something that was quite special and worth trying. His wine recommendation--the house wine--proved an excellent choice, and the whole experience was delightful. We'll certainly go back next time we're in London.

Schickes Restaurant sehr freudliche hilfsbereite Bedienung die gerne bei der Auswahl der Speisen hilft. Essen war geschmacklich hervorragend und für englische Verhältnisse günstig. War ein sehr schöner Abend. Komme gerne wieder.

Great food, nice to try something different

Die speisekarte bietet vorspeisen und hauptgaenge aus mittelasien. Eine gute auswahl an huhn und lammgerichten. Auch vegetarische und fischspeisen sind auf der karte. Wir hatten verschiedene vorspeisen und hauptspeisen......alles war sehr gut zubereitet und gewürzt. Der sevice war auch sehr aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Zahlen kann man allerdings nur bar, karten werden nicht angenommen. Alle speisen können auch zum mitnehmen bestellt werden. Wir kommen bald wieder um hier zu essen.

Great food, nice to try something different

We booked a table for my friends birthday party for downstairs. The food and service was ok but the keyboard player was awful.The old guy was playing out of tune and didn't have a clue about music.My wife is iranian and I really enjoy persian music but,I think they must get a new keyboard player. Someone who can understand proper persian melody.All my iranian friends left the restaurant earlier.what a shame.

Three of us came to this restaurant in Hammersmith last night. We received a friendly greeting, seated and given our menus, and asked for our drinks orders. Items on the menu were exp!aimed and we ended up with a starter of breads with mixed dips - absolutely delicious. A salad is put on the table (free of charge) to go with the started. For main course we had one stew,one chicken dish and one lamb dish. They came with rice but we chose to have the rice with fruits of the garden instead. We shared the food between the three of us. We did not want a desert but I had a fresh mint tea to finish with. The owner came over for a chat before we left. A very good evening, reasonably priced and good atmosphere. Will certainly be back and would recommend.My son has also had a take away from them. Just as good.Do go and try it out.

Had a nice shared meal for 4 last week. Really tasty food and great staff. Would recommend if you are in hammersmith and want to try something new.

Very good food and very fresh! Definitely one of the best Persian food I've had.

Had a great meal here and really recommend it. Managers and staff were friendly and attentive, food was really good (best Persian food in the area!) and all at a great price.

I tried this restaurant with some friends recently. None of us had any experience with traditional food from Azerbaijan, so we weren't sure what to order. The staff was very accomodating and gave us some good reccomendations. We started with a variety plate of dips with bread - all were quite good, but were I to go again, I would skip everything and just get a large helping of hummous - it was great!At the waiter's recommednation, we did a family-style platter of various grilled meats for the main. The various lamb dishes were all tasty, and the chicken was good if not spectacular. The saffron rice was very well put together, and one of my friends tried the rice with dill - he enjoyed it very much.As a bonus, the saffron ice cream was a treat, and they also had a decent selection of wines (we ended up going with a Georgian wine - they had many that weren't on the menu, so if you know anything about wine, ask and see if they have your favorite)

One of the best Persian restaurant, great service, great quality

First time ordering, ordered a vegetarian main course and received a lamb dish. Didn't receive the starter salad and received three rice instead of my food. Phoned to let them know and they said they would send the replacements, 50 minutes later and no sign of the dishes I ordered. Disappointing wouldn't order again

I booked this restaurant a Friday night for my wife' birthday surprise last January, we had about 25 Iranian/ none Iranian guests.It looked we have booked whole restaurant, their service was great, they could do better when collecting and cleaning the tables, but in general they did their best.The Music (Mr, Salahshoor) was excellent, he made the night for all of us.The food was great and freshly made. We had set menu, but they served few more dishes for couple of vegetarian guests.They even decorated the tables and prepared balloons.All went well.

The taste is better. The choices more interesting. The service superb with lots of help. Don't miss this great dinner out..

Azerbaijan is not too well represented on the London cuisine circuit...there are rarely more than a couple of restaurants at any given time...one closes as soon as it gets a bit known. So go try one before its abandoned! This one is in Ballards Lane, East Finchley, not too well served by public transport, and the parking isn't that great either. Azerbaijani food is pretty much the same as Irani, with a hint of Turkish perhaps...so you won't find anything unique so much as lovingly prepared. The atmosphere is great: a sense of wide open spaces..and on the week-ends there is Azeri singing, with all the guests joining in the dancing: women and children - with the latter more likely to be in the men's arms than the former! It really is like being at a party. The staff are attentive, helpful and patient. The only pity is the extremely short wine list - just two bottles of Georgian wines - a red and a white. If only they had a BYO policy...a lively night out would be made even merrier!

... according to my boyfriend. This restaurant offers the standard Persian fare (various kebabs with rice and stews) with a few Azeri/Tabrizi extras. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail in that butter was provided without asking (I have been to too many Persian restuarants where you have to ask for it to be brought out) and the food was also served with soomagh (sumac). I'm not a fan of doogh (Persian yoghurt drink) myself, but my boyfriend declared it excellent. The restaurant was also very tastefully decorated, which belied the unprepossessing exterior, with photographs from Tabriz in northern Iran. It was very quiet at lunchtime, so I think this restaurant is best visited in the evenings. The manager seemed to be taking a lot of bookings over the phone whilst we were there.

Booked this restaurant for my wife's birthday party. We reserved for a table of 16, and asked on two separate occasions prior to the big night that each guest would choose 'a la carte' so that each person can chose what they want. The evening started with a selection of Persian starters, including aubergine dips, yoghurt dips and fresh salads. This was fairly tasty and came with bread.The main course however was not as expected. Rather than allowing us to select off the menu as arranged, without knowledge, several large trays of kebabs were placed on our tables, and whilst still halfway through our starters, the plates with our dips still on where quickly taken away from us mid-bite and replaced with rice and kebabs!The rushed nature of the servers was not to the taste of any of our guests, however, there was a time and place to talk to the staff about it, but now was not the time so as not to spoil the birthday.The food was very below par! The kebabs were overcooked, dry and tasteless. With Persian cuisine normally fragrant and full of juicy kebab, I was very disappointed at this sub-standard selection that was put in front of us.The chicken kebabs were tiny, (almost quail sized), the koobideh was awfully dry and had no taste, the lamb kebab was burnt and the rice was cold!Normally I would have sent it all back, but I didn't want to embarrass the event in front of my guests.There was live music which was ok, the singer made a half hearted effort, but was missing the will to make a good night of it. In fact, if our party was not in the restaurant, the singer would have had an audience of about 3 people!This restaurant is in an affluent Iranian part of London, (Finchley) and therefore should be much better, but I strongly advise avoiding this place and going further down Ballards Lane to Behesht Barin where everything is much much better, and without doubt one of the finest Iranian restaurants in London.The final straw was that at the end of the evening, each guest was slapped with a 26 pound per head bill, which for all of us was an extremely expensive evening for a poor effort.I will not be returning to this restaurant, nor do I recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Really fresh and tasty food. The cuisine is similar to Turkish or Lebanese cooking, with a few Azerbaijan twists thrown in. The bread is gorgeous and the ice cream out of this world. Service was a little slow but not so bad that it ruined the evening. The dishes were explained to us and the waiter also made some recommendations of his own.Highly recommended.

It is the gratest restaurant experience.i don't know where to start? warm and friendly reception, excelent food, the most energic live music, and polite staff. PS they have delivery service too!!when you leaving you feel that you have been in a party with lots of joy in heart and full stomac.bon apetit

The staff are excellent, the service is superb and the food is superb in it's quality. We found abundance of choice on the various Azerbaijan and Persian menus. Loved starters. Fresh hot bread with special cheese and butter, great salads, tasty various types of rices, kebabs etc. Got there at 7pm, left after midnight. Great Live music = Lots of dancing! We enjoyed it so much, so decided to come here every month. We have been to many Persian restaurants, but this one is the Best!!! and you get two in one (Azerbaijan and Persian Cuisine)

I was wrongly expecting a Persian/Turkish type restaurant with saffron chickens and huge piles of rice - and while this is also an option, I didn't expect Azerbaijani food to taste so completely different to anything else I've ever had. Much like trying Japanese or Thai for the first time, the flavours are strong and unique - and utterly delicious. I can fully recommend to start: the Azerbaijani special (a roasted aubergine dish with lamb, spices, local cheeses) and the oat soup - which I expected to be fairly tasteless and filling. How wrong was I? It was one of the most fragrant and delicious soups I have tried since a Tom Yum. The mains were equally impressive, my koresh fesenjan was unlike any other dish I've ever tasted and is a dish which will keep me going back again and again. Service was impeccable, you usually only receive service as well executed as that in very expensive restaurants - and the decor made you feel like you were in someone's living room, making the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is something which adds to the experience; huge persian families and young children, some dancing to the persian music which is supplied on a Friday and Saturday evening (although, they really should tell you that they will charge you £5 per head as cover for the music). There is a realy sense of being a part of someone's else's culture in here, twinned with brilliant food and wonderful service. Don't expect the wine to be great though - drinking isn't really this part of the world's forté.
