Flame Grill in Bristol, City of

Third time I have visited this restaurant and it never disappoints. Fantastically fresh delicious starters, mains and desserts. Great atmosphere and incredible service by all staff. Highly recommend the lamb neck and Persian tea to finish off. Will definitely be returning.

I visited this restaurant and had a great experience, the food was delicious and high quality I tried the lamb neck which had an excellent taste. The staff were friendly and polite, i will definitely visit again❤️!

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and the portions were generous. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the music added a great touch to the overall experience. If I want to have high-quality food in Bristol, I will definitely come back here. Highly recommended!

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you and your team for the amazing food and exceptional service. Everything was perfect, from the delicious flavors to the professional and warm hospitality. We had a wonderful and memorable experience, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Delicious Persian and Middle Eastern food friendly staff, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A great experience!

Hands down the best Persian food I’ve ever had in Bristol! I swear by the Lamb Koobideh, Okra Stew, and the Mirza Ghassemi!! Back when we were studying abroad, we used to go there all the time and it quickly became our favorite good food spot. The food is always super yum and fresh. Sam himself is an incredible person, always so warm and friendly, and always secures us a table even when we show unannounced, which made every visit even more special. I graduated almost a year and a half ago, and I still find myself craving his food to this day. I hope I get to visit again soon 😢💖

food is sensational, portion sizes are amazing, parking easy to find on the streets, decor homely and cultural, service TERRIBLE! waitresses barely tried to explain what a dish was and just stared at me when i asked her to describe, they forgot barberries for the barberry rice ?? barely smiles at you or asks if the food is okay. thought it was a racial issue but they were like that with everyone else present in the restaurant! so weird. one male worker who i think is the owner/manager is really nice and welcoming though.

Always a great experience. Tasty food at a good price with big portions. A new favourite of mine.

I had chicken salad with bread . Chicken was very juicy and tasty . Also very friendly staff on counter .

Good food, service is okay. Atmosphere okay too.

An excellent restaurant with beautiful dishes, but the price is kind of high

It was a beautiful day, my first visit to Bristol, and I chose Sam Lenho restaurant, one of the most beautiful restaurants in Bristol. Choose this Iranian restaurant. I liked to change the usual food on it and it was a good choice Sam the restaurateur welcomes customers and the staff are very friendly My family surprised me on my birthday With the help of Sam, the restaurateur The food deserves 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. انصح الجميع في زيارة المطعم يستحق الزيارة 💯 🇬🇧الحسيني🇮🇶📿

It was one of the best experiences of my life.

We have visited this place multiple times to always order whole lam’s neck with fries and nan . Never disappointed, always a great choice. Delicious and mouth watering.

The best Persian restaurant in the south west!

Great Persian food ... I got the mixed grill which has lamb & chicken and cost ~£18... The portion is great !! Plenty seating at the restaurant for you/friends/family to use.. I haven't done any reservation. The chicken was good but the lamb was great !!

Excellent Sam does what he does best and does it well

Fantastic food in big portions, served quickly with great service. Relaxing environment, which felt authentic and reasonable prices.

The best Persian food, service and atmosphere of the whole Bristol... No one does what Sam offers to his customers... Traditional cooked food and a real touch of Iran 💯 recommend it

Low quality but with high quantity. Service was pretty nice. Kofte kebab was the worst ever had in UK. But chicken was average. I hope they will work on the quality and taste of kofte more. It is not soft.

I ordered ‘Dizi,’ and although the food quality was okay, I didn’t like it because they had added rose water, which was quite weird and made it taste similar to another Persian stew called ‘Gheimeh.’ The Fesenjan, however, was tasty, and we enjoyed it. The main thing to mention is that the wait time was too long, and I think the staff could be a bit friendlier.

Honestly, I have to say this is the best Persian food I’ve ever had. The service is great the food is amazing. Highly recommended.

I came here with my partner (who is Iranian) while on a trip to Bristol. The food was very tasty, good quality and portioned well. The atmosphere was relaxing and we were able to bring our own wine. Would highly recommend :)

Food is always amazing, the portions are generous and the quality is 5*. Sam is welcoming and the service is very good.

You can find Persian dishes at their best quality here. Make sure you try the saffaran icecream. Will be a memorable experience

I’ve ordered Okra and I have been waiting for more than 30 minuets while the waiters having a Persian conversation above my head and when I asked the manager he kept saying “one minuet” after 40 minuets I said I have to leave and he replied with “ok” didn’t even bother to say sorry!!

Service was great, and they were very attentive. The food was very tasty, but the portion sizes were absolutely huge. I couldn't finish it all. The rice was outstanding

Excellent food and service! The owner Sam and his staff looked after us. Meals were the Lamb/kobideh and chicken shish of which both were exquisite. Sadly we live too far to dine here more often but it’s definitely a gem and I absolutely recommend!

Sam and the team a welcoming and polite. The restaurant is cosy and traditionally decorated, when we were there it got very busy and it seem a little bit stuffy but it wasn't an issue. The food was exceptional and the portions were very generous. We had a selection of different dishes all of which were cooked and presented really well as lovely platters. The saffron and pistachio ice-cream along with the tea was the perfect way to finish the evening.

The real taste of home with the amazing service of the staff! 😍 Don't miss out on this place! 🙌 A big thank you to Sam! #AmazingService #MustVisit #HomeAwayFromHome

I adore this place as it is a definite must go, we came here at the busiest time yet even tho bookings were full they let us in. The staff were as friendly as a baby golden retriever + more! And the food was mouthwateringly delicious, even the liver (a type of food I detested) made me rethink my decisions . As said again ,with not enough emphasis, the food is a must try! I would come back any time!

We were in Sam’s restaurant last week and everything there absolutely amazing. I am so glad I found that place. I live in Cardiff but I will be in Sam’s restaurant every week. Thank you so much for your amazing food and ice cream🥰

Lovely food but the waiting time is ridiculous minimum and hour waiting after placing order

Such a lovely gem! Authentic proper food cooked with love. The staff are lovely and respectful. The restaurant is well decorated and the naan is to die for. Good portions too at a fair price. Will come again. Recommend!

I had a fantastic experience here today! The kebab was delicious—flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion was generous. Beyond the great food, the owner was incredibly welcoming and kind, going out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. It’s clear they put a lot of love and care into their food and service. The price was a bit high, but overall, a great experience.

Top tier eats. I go every payday. I like to try new places, but I know wherever else I eat, I'm going to be disappointed when I compare it to sams.

This was the 5th time I visited this place, and I can’t get enough! I have taken my family this time and we had the best time! Every single bite was a delight! I had the Ghorme Sabzi. 10/10! Five stars all round!

Our first visit! How did we miss this jewel on Cheltenham Road! The food was absolutely delicious. A lovely evening.

The best place and food I ever tried. Place is very relaxing and clean. The food is very very tasty fresh and super clean. Price is very acceptable with the quality of food and service. Desi and chicken liver is our favourite. Qhassmi is a great starter. We are regular visitors for over a year now and My kids love the food.

I can't recommend this place enough. From the food to the service, everything was amazing. The staff are the friendliest you can come across. Will definitely visit again soon.

visited here a couple weeks ago and being from Bristol I don’t know why I’ve not been sooner! The staff are lovely, very friendly and accommodating. The interior is very peaceful and serene. We booked for 7 on a Saturday but was only 5 in the end but staff did not mind and was happy to answer questions on the different drinks etc! You have to try their desert and drinks it is amazing ✨ would deffo visit again, they’re halal and non alcoholic 🌸

I am normally very easy to please, but this place was beyond bad. Was it the food? No, that was average. The atmosphere? No, that was a little flat but nothing to complain about. Was it the waiting staff? No, they were polite enough. The issue is the owner. He is so arrogant and believes we are lucky enough just to be at his restaurant. We had a party of seven last Saturday night. It was a family birthday meal with three generations. We got there, had mains, and then we all ordered desserts and tea. After a few minutes of receiving the tea, the owner came to us and asked us if we could leave as he had others waiting for the table. We have never been so insulted. We had prebooked, arrived on time and were spending good money. We had only been in the plavlce for 80 minutes which is not all that long when you consider it takes 15 minutes until your order is taken and then another 30 minutes for it to arrive. In all my years we have never been asked to leave midway through a course of food. Absolutely ridiculous. We will certainly not be coming back. Also be careful if visiting on a hot day as they chanrge 50p per ice cube. Yes, you read that write. It's even priced on the menu. I must admit we didn't purchase any of the ice cubes so I cannot comment too much. Maybe they are the best ice cubes in the world.

100% would recommend the lambs neck! It can feed two, you get loads of rice with it and a whole bulb of roasted garlic. Other food was tasty too. If you're really interested in lamb's neck specifically, call in advance and reserve. The decor inside is nice, quite a calming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and if you have questions about the food they can help you

Always such great service, quality and taste.

Very good food. Their lamb neck is the best. Turkey shank is also pretty goodm

I was told to go there for a Persian food experience. Everything I tried was very fresh and prepared by the chef before serving. I had the taste of spring starter with the homemade Naan bread and chicken kebab with the lightest and fluffiest saffron rice that I have ever tried. Persian tea is also highly recommended to try. The lamb neck was tender and succulent. The portions are generous, so you might consider shearing it you are not a big eater.

The shop owner talks a lot and explains a lot! You are another cook, why are you explaining so much bro!! Highly recommended, best Persian restaurant ever!

Went first time all the way from London with my family. Had yummiest Persian food ever had ❤️

Decoration and staff were nice. Kashko bademjan and bread was brilliant but the grill was too much salty for me. My blood pressure increased by 2 units after we came back home. Definitely not a healthy choice for those who have blood pressure issues. Not sure if I want to go back again.

Last week, my girlfriend and I had dinner at this restaurant. We traveled all the way from Weston-super-Mare. An unforgettable experience! The restaurant is just a short walk away from the famous Banksy district. When we arrived, we were welcomed with great warmth and respect. The atmosphere of the restaurant speaks for itself: a sturdy wooden design combined with plenty of plants. Even in the restrooms, you'll find real plants. The clean and pleasant atmosphere is beautifully complemented by Persian decorations. Now, about the food – simply incredible! The Joojeh Kebab was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. What my girlfriend had was also unbelievably delicious. And let me mention this: the bread is freshly baked on-site – it doesn't get any better than that! The staff were the absolute highlight. Charming, polite, and always ready to assist us. You could feel their inner happiness and satisfaction, which radiated outward. We picked up on that and enjoyed every second of our time there. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely travel there again! English: My girlfriend and I ate at this restaurant last week. We came especially from Weston-super-Mare. An unforgettable experience! The restaurant is within walking distance of the famous “Banksy” district. When we arrived we were welcomed with a big heart and a lot of respect. The atmosphere of the restaurant speaks for itself: a robust wood look combined with lots of plants. You can even find real plants in the toilets. The clean and pleasant atmosphere is enhanced by Persian decorations. And the food? Simply incredible! The Djudje kebab was perfectly marinated and grilled until tender. My friend’s dish was also incredibly delicious. Particularly worth mentioning: The bread is freshly baked on site - it couldn't be better! The staff was the absolute highlight. Charming, polite and always ready to serve us. You could feel that they were content and happy inside, and this positive energy was transferred to us. We enjoyed every second there. I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely go there again!

The lamb was delectable, however, I must express my disappointment with the chicken. It was devoid of flavor and possessed an unpleasantly rubbery texture. While the bread was delightful, it occupied an excessive amount of space on the table. I would respectfully suggest the implementation of a vertical stand for the bread to optimize table space.

We visited Sam's Master Grill while dropping our son at the university and were lucky to get a table without prebooking. It was our first experience of beautiful Persian cuisine, and definitely not the last! The kebabs, dizi, and lamb neck were outstanding, with tender, flavorful meat. The portions were generous, reasonably priced, and paired with excellent service in a lovely venue. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality—highly recommend!

The best Middle Eastern food in Bristol, don’t know why people bother with lona’s when this restaurant exists

Heard about this place by word of mouth and it didn't disappoint! Simple but delicious Persian food. Very easy to book via text, fast response. Staff were very attentive and helped us with not over ordering which is always a green flag, and gave some great recommendations. BYOB with small corkage fee was a major perk (very well stocked corner shop across the road). Seemed to be popular with local Iranians too which was another good sign. 100% recommend and will be returning.

Went for my sisters birthday, had to wait for a table in a near empty resturant, got the drinks wrong twice and was charged for it even though they never managed to bring the right drink out, juices are kids cartons from costco charged at £1.50 not even in a glass. Ordered a whole chicken was given the smallest baby chicken you have ever seen. Not the best persian food around. Service was extremely slow and lazy couldn't even be bothered to bring the bill and card machine to the table.

Great meal, authentic, tasty and healthy. The staff were very friendly and helpful in explaining dishes.

Wow first time going here my husband has been before we took our 4 children beautiful food loads for your money will be going again

This place is amazing. Such a wonderful welcome from Sam and his team. We started with the Saffron tea with dates, which was delicious. The portions are huge so go hungry! They don't serve alcohol but there is a great supermarket opposite. So we took some drinks. We can't wait to go back.

Fantastic food with huge portions of freshly baked bread and rice. Starter Chicken livers with caramelised onions, bread: Main, lamb stew with beans and preserved lime, rice. Great service and atmosphere. Value for money.

Really nice food, really generous portions and good service. The inside of the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. I think the sign outside needs changing to attract more customers - as much nicer inside than it looks on the exterior! Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

The food at Sam's Masters Grill is authentic and full of flavour. Portions are very generous and reasonably priced. A few stand out dishes I have had include the lamb neck, whole chicken, chicken liver starter and the lamb kofta. The rice should also get a special mention, it's fluffy, light and super buttery!

Really nice atmosphere once you're inside. The entrance can be a bit hot, the grill is right next to it. Do make a reservation ahead of time, there aren't that many tables. The food is flavorful, plentiful, and they have a good variety of options. The ice-cream is pretty good, especially the thing under the ice cream, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. While the flavors are excellent, it isn't exactly what I was looking for. However, the food is well cooked and juicy and you might enjoy it.

Excellent host and as always excellent food.

Wow. What a place! Had a lovely experience from start to finish. The food was fantastic. You definitely need to go with an appetite! The portions are very generous. We had the lamb neck, it melted in your mouth! We can’t wait to return.

Highly recommend! Definitely go with a big appetite as you will need to be hungry! Everything tasted amazing! Everyone has the Lamb Neck here so make sure you give it a try! We will definitely be visiting again!

Very delicious food, the portion size is great for students. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere feels like a family style restaurant.

Amazing as always. The best persian food I’ve ever had in uk 😍😍😍😍

Great Persian place with good food and an amazing atmosphere Positives: - Good starter, mains and dessert options - Large portions - Tried pretty much every dish on the menu and they all taste amazing - nice seating area - great service - the food comes pretty quick , didn’t have to wait to long - the jelly inside the ice cream was a nice surprise - Mint tea was amazing, extremely refreshing NEGATIVES: - The pistachios on the Saffron ice cream is very over powering. Does ruin the ice cream rather than complementing it, I recommend asking them to put pistachio shavings rather than just cutting them in half or better to have no pistachios at all

Nice ambience in the restaurant at the back. Party of 4 we had different starters and mains. Large Naan with each starter. I had skewers of heart and liver which was really good. Others had various meaty and vegetarian items in small hot cast iron dishes, all with good feedback. There is a large selection of stews for mains, though we had mostly grills. My grill was chicken and llamb. The lamb neck was huge and really good. These dishes all had large mounds of rice. We all really enjoyed what we had, and the mains are so large that next time I might share a main to leave room for a desert (baclava or 2 different ice creams). They have a few soft drinks, if you want alcohol it's BYO, reasonable corkage. It got busy, so booking advisable. Staff are friendly.

Best Persian restaurant in Bristol. No doubt! Love this restaurant 10/10.

Had a great dinner at Sam's, the food was delicious, the prices quite low and the staff was lovely. Would totally recommend!

Tasty, delicious and delicious. For those who are looking for and want to try different dishes with a touch of the Middle East; Whole Lamb Neck with Persian Rice is the most popular and popular. Rumor has it that people from as far away as Bristol are driving and coming to enjoy this cuisine. It must be the main dish from Sam'd Master Grill. Don't forget to also try other dishes such as Mirza Ghassemi, Chicken Wing mixed with Persian rice which is good and delicious. Definitely satisfying and not disappointing. The location of the restaurant is quite challenging for those who come by car. Parking is very limited and challenging to get it. Most parking is on the street. Midday and evening peak times make it even more difficult with the presence of many people because there are also restaurants and pubs around. Those who take the bus are lucky because there is a bus stop in front of it and they arrive directly at the restaurant. Those who are nearby and in Bristol City Center can try and enjoy the cuisine from Sam's Master Grill that will definitely satisfy your family. Good luck!

The best Iranian food in bristol, possibly the UK. Amazing staff and amazing chef.

The food is very delicious and the quantity is large, and the service is wonderful from (Adeela) as well as the receptionist.. This is our second visit and it will certainly not be the last.. The food was delicious with generous portions. The service provided by Adeel was professional. The reception staff was also excellent. This is our second visit, and it definitely won't be our last.

recently found this place and love the food

Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people, the food is delicious, the service is super good, there is no service charge, 100 points! ! !

The food was beautiful, and I thank the host, Adele, for her kind treatment

We came here on a Saturday night just to get some dinner. The waitress had to check if there are tables as they were quite busy and she said she had one available for us but asked kindly if we can book next time which is perfectly understandable. She took us to our table and while we were walking, there was a very disturbing smell which smelt like feces but we gave them the benefit of the doubt which could have been the baby nearby. We sat down and before the owner/manager [Tall Male] asked us what drinks we would like, he told us to book next time. We get it, the waitress told us when we came in, being told once was enough. Then he came back and took our food order and told us to book next time AGAIN because he rearranged the tables and gave us the table his friend was supposed to be seated at. At this point we were thinking "Does he think we're stupid?" because why does he have to tell us 3 times? And he said it like hes doing us a favour, if we knew we were going to get hounded like this, we wouldve chose another restaurant. They were the first restaurant we went to for the night, we wouldve been fine if they turned us away because they are busy - we really arent fussed! And to tell us he gave us the table that was supposed to go for his friend, just made us uncomfortable like we arent wanted. Our food came, starters were lovely but the chicken was so wet, didnt have enough charring to it and just felt like it was undercooked and not seasoned enough. When we went to go pay, the owner comes up to us and guess what?!?! He told us to make sure we book the next time we come back. There is not going to be a next time :)

I highly recommend that you visit this restaurant at least once. Enjoy the warm and friendly service from the staff, the beautiful and pleasant atmosphere, and the amazing food. Everything was perfect and exceptional. The best dishes I have ever tried. The prices are very affordable considering the large portions and excellent taste. I absolutely recommend this restaurant; you will enjoy it!

me and my friend today around 7 pm, we have ordered Mixed grill and Royal Lamp Chops.. Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance with very friendly staff.

Food was amazing and came very quickly. The owner Sam was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing very good advice on what to order. Would definitely eat here again.

We were craving for something different - and Sam’s Master Grill hit the spot! We had the Lamb Neck on recommendation of another Google review. Scrumptious for meat lovers! Also had the chicken liver starter and the tastes like spring aubergine starter. Yum. Will be coming back again, and again and again. Staff were very attentive and friendly too.

Absolutely amazing hands down best food I have had in the U.K. in a long time must try

Excellent food and service don't miss on visiting this place when u come to Bristol best Iranian food ever and value for money

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sam’s Master Grill, and I am delighted to leave a five-star review. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by incredibly friendly and attentive waiters and waitresses. The customer service here is top-notch, making us feel welcomed and valued throughout our visit. The decor of Sam’s Master Grill is pristine and elegant. The restaurant is impeccably clean, and the atmosphere is enhanced by a beautiful water fountain that adds a peaceful and serene touch to the environment. Our meal began with a selection of appetizers that set the bar high for the rest of our dining experience. We started with the Kashk o Bademjan, a delightful dish featuring aubergine, caramelized onions, mint, walnuts, garlic, and dried yogurt, served with fresh naan. The combination of flavors was both creamy and savory, and the naan bread was exceptional—thin, soft, and perfect for dipping. We also tried the chicken wings and the Grilled Halloumi Cheese. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection, with a subtle hint of lime that elevated their flavor. The Grilled Halloumi Cheese was equally impressive, bursting with rich, smoky flavors. For the main course, I opted for the Lamb Kofteh Kebab accompanied by rice. This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the meal. The rice, mixed with butter, was the best I’ve ever tasted—fragrant, fluffy, and incredibly flavorful. The Lamb Kofteh Kebab was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a Homemade Ayran, which was freshly made and wonderfully tangy. The drink added a refreshing balance to the rich flavors of the kebab and rice. To conclude our meal, I indulged in the Persian Tea with saffron crystals and Persian Dates. The tea was beautifully presented, infused with delicate flowers that added a unique and delightful twist. The saffron crystals sweetened the tea just right, and the Persian Dates provided a lovely, sweet finish. Overall, I highly recommend Sam’s Master Grill. It is an excellent choice, especially for Muslim diners, as the establishment is halal. The staff is friendly and attentive, the ambiance is peaceful and inviting, and the food is simply outstanding. Sam’s Master Grill is a true gem, and I look forward to my next visit.

Authentic, friendly service , good overall experience, will do it again .

Delicious food, nice service, always good

Amazing food, consistent quality, good prices, and nice people. I will miss you!

The best Persian and the best grill food ever I had in my life

Great food, great service and a very friendly welcome. A really nice place - will definitely eat at Sam’s again.

Having found this truly Persian foods heaven in 1-hour radius of Cardiff, I have turned into a patron of Sam's Master Grill with my family and friends. The owner, Sam, is a genuine Persian restaurateur and knows how to host Persian food lovers with great respect and of course taste. The waiting staff are truely professional and augment the the sense of Persian-style hosting. Highly Recommended and commended👏👏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

This restaurant is full of caring staff and amazing food! Not to mention the high hygiene. It’s so good that it was worth for me and the family to drive 1 hour from Cardiff. I fully recommend coming here, every feature for me is 5 stars!

Tasteless food Bland taste No flavours at all and very pricey. will not recommend

Absolutely scrum-diddly-umptious! Translation: it was fantastic. Huge portions. The grills are enough to share, and the BYOB policy is awesome! Would definitely visit again! £38 for two ppl with BYO wine. We ordered the whole chicken grill & king prawn stew.

I have been here a few times for lunch and dinner and I always leave full of praises. The food is absolutely incredible - with an extensive menu full of Persian dishes that are primarily categorised by ‘Stew Dishes’ or ‘Grill Dishes’ for your main course. The interior is absolutely beautiful - do not be deterred by the plainer looking exterior because once you step in, you can immediately see the fresh food cooking by the front of the restaurant. You will also be greeted by Sam himself, the owner, who is one of the warmest and most welcoming people! Every dish I have tried so far has been incredible, the service is always good though it can take a bit longer as the attendants want you to properly look through the menu before they take your order. I also enjoy the Istaak drinks which are malt non-alcoholic drinks in various flavours which taste amazing! Overall, I constantly recommend this place to my friends and my colleagues but it’s about time I actually do a review of such a gem in Bristol. Thank you Sam!

I usually refuse to give any 5* rating as I'm a firm believer that there's always room for improvement in some aspect but in this case it would be unfair for me to do so. The food was amazing! Value for money, very good portion sizes. The only reason I've given 4* for service is there was a slight misunderstanding from a staff member that we didn't have a booking. The manager came over and sorted it out in a timely manner.

Great food. Simple but really well done.

It was very good. The portions are huge. The food is delicious. I would recommend the lamb neck it is a clear satisfaction!

The Persian tea was very nice. The portions are big. The service is pleasant.
