Cafe Persia in Barnet

Pedí un kebab de pollo y me llegó un plato de arroz con 5 pedacitos de pollo. El arroz estaba soso y la carne tenía demasiado cartílago. Además de ser carísimo tanto para la calidad como la cantidad de comida, me cobraron el Service Charge sin preguntar.

Heerlijke gerechten, vriendelijke gastheer, schone omgeving. De gastheer geeft goed advies. De verse sappen zijn een aanrader!

Cucina iraniana di discreto livello. Porzioni abbondanti. Locale carino. Personale gentile.consigliato per un pasto veloce e senza pretese.

I enjoyed my visit very much. I was welcomed by someone with a dry sense of humour, and a glint in his eye - I guessed this might be the owner. The meal was full of subtle and delicious flavours, which I enjoyed greatly. It only bore a loose resemblance to the description on the menu, but when venturing somewhere new and different, these things need to be taken in ones stride. The atmosphere was pleasant and distinctive. Clearly a resource for the local community the dryly-humoured one was latterly more interested in chatting to local pals than asking if I wanted dessert, so I did not have time to try what I had in mind. Again, as a guest such things must be accepted as part of the ambience. One very good thing was that free food is offered to homeless people; I guessed this might be at an appointed time towards the end of the evening, from a conversation overheard with someone who had been outside the restaurant talking to passers-by.

bad quality food,force you to buy all kinda food,this shop does not believe in fresh products.not happy at all,waste of money

The staff is very friendly and nice, the food is excellent and the place is very typical and beautiful. This cafe was a regular stop on our stay in London, I recommend it to everyone. The have best bread in London!

The food is so delicious and has plenty of options. They also do really fresh fruit juices and the homemade deserts are seriously tasty, we shared the most incredible rice pudding we've ever had. I'm a Return customer. The artwork is also amazing! Highly recommend.

My friends and I needed some breakfast after a night out and we ended up here. We were welcomed in by a lovely man, he could not do enough for us. He treated us like celebrities and gave is a lovely seat in the window. We all had the full English breakfast with teas coffees and juices. It was so nice. A lovely start to our day.

I have heard of this cafe before and was told it’s very welcoming, so now I have ordered my veggie breakfast and sat down, after a couple of minutes two locals have come in and ordered their food (I knew they were locals because the chef asked if they wanted the same) following this waited for about 15 min or so and the locals food and drinks have come and not mine I have went to ask why and they said it’s ready soon. I only got some mushroom egg and tomatoes. It’s sad to see that they prioritise there reg customer then someone who is in for the first time.

Very strange people and place. Would never step foot again. I asked for some takeaway chips which I’ve had before, the girl gave me an odd look and said we don’t have chips … it’s on their menu!! She then got another girl to come who said the same thing. I said I could wait for them to be cooked but they didn’t seem to understand. Felt very unwelcome and they seemed rude! Will never bother again.

Went to this place for lunch. Ordered Lamb Sabzi and kidney beans. What came back was sinews of Lamb and beans countable on one hand in green soup. I complained in person, the lady tried to gaslight me. Robbery! Would avoid like the pandemic.

I came here with 5 friends for dinner and we all had a really good evening. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very welcoming, providing a warm and friendly atmosphere. Very reasonably priced and a really good evening, I will happily come back.

A very good meal at a good price. Much recommended. Service good, quality good, everything good and the price.

The food was excellent. We’ve ordered kubideh, chicken kebab, ghorme sabzi and my number one - baghali polo bo gusht which was so delicious and tasted as in Iran.

Gave this place a chance and wanted to like it. Expected understated quality homemade Persian food. Wish I had read the reviews before. Meat was cold and undercooked. Rice was flavourless. Bread was cold. Presentation of starter was sloppy. Main was brought immediately after starter. Just rubbish.

Terrible don't order anything from here chicken was not seasoned or cooked properly I could not even eat it

The cafe is right opposite golders green station it is in a great location. We had full english breakfasts. Meal is a good price but you get what you pay for 1 bacon and 1 egg the breakfast is 5.50. We ordered fries to go with the breakfast but this was not given. It was very unorganised food was ok.

After a long day out at the footy and needing sustenance for the long journey home, this was the first place we spied coming out of the Tube. My knowledge of Middle Eastern cuisine is limited but when I've sampled it, it's been very good. Yara in Alderley Edge is the obvious example around here. Delicious food. Anyway, we didn't have a clue so just asked the owner and he very patiently explained the dishes. We shared 2 plates and they were just what we needed, wholesome and tasty. I should mention the big, bitter lump I tried half way through the meal. Turned out it was a roasted lemon! Fascinated to read the dirty and a hangout for drug dealers review, the place can't be that dirty as it gets a 4/5 stars on the food standards agency website. Admittedly that's not ideal but some of the reviews on here are by people with an axe to grind. Reasonably priced too.

Totally not worth the service. I was charged £3 for two glass bottle of coke, 9 pounds for Ghormeh Sabzi which didn’t have much meat on eat, basically rice and beans, and 1 pounds service charge. £16 for one main course meal. Totally not worth.

Este lugar está bien ubicado, justo enfrente de la terminal de autobuses de Golders Green. Es bastante espacioso por dentro.Lástima que sean parroquiales: el WC estaba "fuera de servicio" y era "solo efectivo". Olvídate de las tarjetas. Cené con niños y quería tratarlos ". ¿Cuánto por estos mini muffins? ’Él dice 'todos 2. 50 pero tú 2. 00 'cuando el tablero los tenía claramente en 1. 50 (vimos esto después).Por último, tienen pancartas fuera de estofado publicitario a las 5. 00 o con té y ensalada a las 7. . Estos no están en los menús interiores y, cuando pregunté, me eliminaron con "muy pequeño". El pan en los sándwiches era una simple baguette de Sainsbury. Los excelentes lugares turcos cercanos lo hacen mucho mejor.Así que ten cuidado . Al menos con una cadena no tendrás esta tontería.

Visiting London stumbled across cafe Persia wasn’t disappointed very fresh and tasty not only that was cheap as chip

I came in and my card was declined. This didn't stop the owner serving me coffee and cake. And great coffee and cake they were too. I'll be coming back on my next visit!

Pedí un recibo por un té de menta que pedí y me dieron un pedazo de papel con 2 escritos en él. Cuando pedí un recibo de IVA, el propietario se enojó conmigo. Le expliqué que lo necesitaba para gastarlo en el trabajo y él comenzó a intentarlo y me dijo "no deberías sermonearme"Desagradable, grosero y bastante desorganizado.

Always coming here while waiting for my buses. Nice polite people, great food, massive portion, not expensive

Es un café, así que debes esperar que sea un poco básico y que no tenga licencia. Sin embargo, fuimos a comer por la noche y encontramos la comida muy buena, sabrosa y auténtica. Un lugar para una buena comida, pero no para una noche formal.

Cafe Persia es un lugar para que los traficantes de drogas se reúnan. Fuimos allí 3 veces, una vez nos dieron sobras para nuestro almuerzo pero nos dijeron que era "fresco". Una vez el dueño de repente comenzó a pelear y gritar con su hijo. La tercera vez solo queríamos tomar café porque en todas partes estaba cerca. El precio del café era más caro que Starbucks. No recomendar este lugar.

He comido comida persa muchas veces antes en otros restaurantes y casas iraníes /

Esta es una reseña especial que quería hacer desde 2013 por algo que nunca olvidaré de Cafe Persia. A veces nuestras vidas cambian completamente y suceden cosas inesperadas en nuestra vida y nos encontramos en una situación difícil, especialmente como estudiante en medio de los estudios universitarios. Llegué al Café Persia con miedo de haberme encontrado en una situación en la que no podía comprar un almuerzo adecuado. Nunca me había sentido así en toda mi vida y temía no tener suficiente dinero para poder comer decentemente. Pero los dueños de la cafetería fueron muy amables y me dieron la comida de degustación más increíble que jamás haya comido en un café persa. Lo que cuenta en esta revisión es la humanidad que mostró la gente de Persia y cómo ayudaron a un completo extraño haciéndome probar también una especialidad de berenjena y su té. Nunca olvidaré la amabilidad que Cafe Persia me ha demostrado. Ahora mi vida ha cambiado y he completado mi educación universitaria, pero este es un lugar que visitaré en Londres y llevaré a aquellos que me encantan para probar su comida. Este lugar me enseñó que la amabilidad puede provenir de personas que apenas conoces. Y esta es la mejor y más maravillosa cosa que cambió por completo mi visión de la vida y me inspiró a ver la luz y la positividad en los demás. Me ha enseñado que hay una amabilidad y generosidad increíble en la cultura persa que cambió mi vida por completo. Recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que venga a este lugar, porque la gente que dirige Cafe Persia merece recibir 10 de 5 estrellas. Siempre recordaré Cafe Persia como un lugar especial en Londres para mí y que me hizo crecer.

Ew, was not a big fan! Have had Persian food many times but this.....never again. Nice enough service but not for me thanks!

Hate speaking badly of a business but this place is not good at all.Very casual affair with strange manager and very little else.Not recommended

Popped in for lunch, Excellent food choice at good prices, wish I had found Cafe Persia the day before, however, I will be lunching again when on business in near future

My husband and I stopped in here for breakfast after arriving in Golders Green. We both got an English breakfast and tea. The food was very good and the service was quick. The staff were very nice. I enjoyed visiting here.

Worst place I have been to. Unhygienic, food is old and left for the next couple of days if not sold. Ants on the counter near the fruit and other pastries. I urge the health department to do something about this place.

We came back to Golder's Green station after a long day of sight seeing and we wanted hot soup. We were able to find a delightful traditional soup at Cafe Persia, along with courteous and prompt service.

Very friendly service and great quick and cheap breakfast! Highly recommend for those looking for a quick meal. The vegetarian and full breakfast are my favourites.

Fui a comer con el lunes por la noche con amigos y no estaba contento con el servicio que recibimos. Pedí la comida de especialidad y me hicieron esperar alrededor de una hora. Una vez me habían servido mi comida me decepcionó descubrir que mi comida fría. Le pregunté a la camarera por qué la comida estaba fría y él me respondió que no estaba fría. Me decepcionó mucho y recomiendo este restaurante

Fui a este 'cafe' como mis amigos insistió, y con mi hambre yo no tenía opción pero de acuerdo con ellos. Me había sido bien acogida con un comienzo desagradable, pues tuve que esperar unos buenos 5 minutos para el camarero que incluso nos llevan a la mesa. Fue bastante sorprendente que cuando nos sentamos en la mesa, me había encontrado una gran cantidad de polvo. No sólo eso, cuando llegó la comida que hemos probado bastante sosa y tamaño de las porciones eran bastante dissatisfying. Por último, cuando me había completado esta comida atroces, que fue presentado con un sueldo, que era más de lo que habíamos incluso calculado. No lo recomiendo, o visite de nuevo para ese asunto.

Celebré mi cumpleaños 30 4 en Persia Cafe, el dueño y el personal muy muy bien organizada y profesional , mi invitado verdaderamente disfrutamos de la noche de música, baile y deliciosa comida casera persa. Me encanta la comida y la variedad de entrantes persas....

Ho fatto un buon pranzetto veloce e una merenda in questo semplice ma ospitale caffè' gestito da iraniani a due passi dalla stazione Golders Green della metro. Prezzi onesti

Food was room temperature when sereved. Meal was priced as £5.50 out side, it became £7.00 once we were inside.Service was a hot mess, dirty cutlery and food was bland.Tomato sauce from a tin, rice and over/under (no idea how they managed that) lamb.DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

I've eaten here twice it is ok for a quick tea or fresh orange juice. The food is ok I would be happier if service is a little better. Maybe it is best set up to accommodate take away.

Today was my 8th visit and have taken 4 different friends to the cafe over the year. Today l just wanted the coffee and sandwich at 2.50 advertized in the cafe window. Before l had even sat down l was being asked what l wanted, and telling me l should have something else instead of sandwich which when l asked was much more expensive. After that l was ignored and the owner and pos wife sat down for lunch and even when l got up to the coffee counter they would not look at me. There was 1 other customer in the cafe and he could obviously under stand ther conversation and looked at me sadly and confused. Well what can l say but last time and l will tell my friends. Maybe they are planning to close and they just dont care or maybe they should get some training on hospitality. Shame on them.

I chanced a light lunch at Cafe Persia as I strolled about Golders Green. A typical basic, simple Iranian diner with a nice elderly lady skewing nice middle eastern dishes throughout the day. What's most warming is the homey hospitality of its proprietor who treats every customer as friends. With a little more lighting preferred, this eatery is reasonably priced, wifi free and is a treat for Iranian music lovers, especially live on Fridays.

I had passed this place on several occasions when staying in London on Business. I decided to go in one night to give it a try. I wish I hadn't. Avoid this place at all costs even if you haven't eaten in days. The food is old ( mondeh) and is pre-cooked and kept in an old fashioned display cabinet. I had Bagalipolo and chicken. It was the worst Iranian food I have ever had. But worst of all when paying the bill the owner is very unprofessional and trys to over charge. They dont produce a proper receipts either. They give a bad name to all Iranians.....This place is a disgrace and should not have Persian in its name.

Very nice place to go for a coffee or sandwich,they have lovely cakes and staff is friendly,very good atmosphere.I keep coming back.One thing I didn´t like is that we were charged for card payment.

we had coffee only here with some friends. Which was neatly organised by the staff, no complaints. It felt pretty well full of locals who appear to frequent the establishment for conducting buisiness, this gave the place a certain buzz and somehow not feeling in London at all, but a decent place to return, should we be in the area agin.

abbiamo provato l'espresso in questo locale e non è buono ed è caro. il personale però è simpatico e l'interno del locale carino.

Popper in here for a cup of tea after a gruelling Megabus journey and job interview on one of the hottest days of the year. The owner is extremely friendly, though he loses a point for only talking to my boyfriend (who admittedly is Persian, but hey, I'm a person too!). It sells a variety of light meals and Persian sweets and pastries. We decided to get some food whilst we were there and we had loubia pollo (which is green beans, rice and a little chicken) and ghormeh sabzi (stew with lots of herbs and red kidney beans). My boyfriend said it was exactly like how his mum used to cook and felt very nostalgic. My boyfriend was short of £1.40 to pay and we still owe the proprietor (sorry, we will come back soon and pay).

We've been to this lovely caff and bakery a lot -walls painted to remind of IranLook in the glass case at the back and try khoreshes, kookoo greens and egg omelette and a host of other things from olives to aubergine dishes. You can also get sandwiches and wraps to eat in or take away. There are cakes and lovely baklava. Fresh Mint tea is a speciality but good coffee and juices too.
