Servers were lovely. Unfortunately the food let the place down tonight. The minced Lamb kebab skewer, I’m not sure if it was because it wasn’t cooked properly inside but honestly, tasted like dog food. The ‘Saffron’ Rice, you get a tiny bit of, scattered over the top and the rest is white and completely tasteless. The chicken skewer was chewy & bland and like the lamb one, the plate underneath was covered in grease. The Okra Lamb Stew tasted like garlic & a tin of tomatoes in a bowl and in the whole dish we only counted 6-7 really tiny pieces of Lamb. The salad was fresh and the drinks were nice and chilled. Wish I had something better to say, I’m sorry. We did let the gent know about the above issues and he took off the 10% service charge of £3.40. Cheers!

I ordered through just eat today and was totally unimpressed with the quality of food. Koo koo sabzi in particular was totally dry, tasteless actually looked and tasted like grass. Over priced at £6.50 I did not expect this at all. The food usually is better than this as I am a regular customer and was quite shocked with what I got.

The food served is of high quality but I am extremely disappointed by the service provided and the lack of care shown to my guests at our special dinner. Considering the price of the meal we paid for I would expect my table to be cleaned between courses and to have the staff check if our group was happy with our food and service or if we needed anything. We were charged for drinks which we did not have and I felt the meals were overpriced.

Came across this place by accident. Fantastic food we had the Khatoon special and the serving sizes meant a takeaway container was needed. Would also recommend the baba ghanoush. Well worth a visit when passing by or even a detour. Definitely planning on going back

ordered food for 50 people. they use substandard meat and 40 percent of people were sick the next day and the others had headaches due to the fat of the meat. we have ordered from here on 10 occasions with great results, but recently the level of food quality has been disgraceful. we have now chosen to pay extra for delivery and go to a restaurant in Finchley for our orders

I would give them Minus 10. The worst customer service ever. The waiters are extremely rude. We used go there almost every Friday but during covid we started ordering delivery. Lately The waiters taking phone orders are extremely rude. We decided not to order from there anymore. Harrow is full of better Iranian restaurants. They lost a regular customer with the entire family. I wouldn't recommend this place!!!!

For many years me and my family are their customer and always loved the foods, I just get upset when I saw someone ( caledon) wrote the review and said many bad things and when I checked his reviews for other restaurants and business I understood he has problem by self because he did the same thing for almost every one. I don't know we some mental people want bad things for others. Anyway thanks Khatoon restaurant

I went with my mother and brother and his family of 6, and we were instantly greeted by the friendly staff who immediately gave us seats. The service was equally good, delicious and plentiful food as always (we've eaten from Khatoon before) so we took some left over food home. Honestly? There is nothing bad I can say here, I highly recommend this restaurant and I would go there again and again. Great family atmosphere!

My girlfriend and I found this place by chance some time ago and we loved it. We come by every once in a while when we're around Harrow. The food is really delicious: we usually go for the mixed grill with several sides. The thing we love most is the Barg, the marinated strip of meat that's usually served in the centre of the grill plater.

Went in with my other half as we saw they accepted taste cards. Very lovely young guy served us. The food was okay. Nothing special, quite generic. We finished our plates, and waited ages for someone to come over, they were just stood behind the bar on their phones. In the end we got up and asked for the bill, asking to use our taste card, the woman behind the counter just shook her head. The men who was also perched behind the bar on his phone pipped up and told us that we had to call in advance. We asked what difference that would have made as we were the only people in the restaurant. He just kept saying that you just had too. They were totally dismissive and quite rude when we were just asking to use the discount they advertise. Their response was so unprofessional. You can’t trap your customers who are using a discount that you advertise and register to by making them jump through extra hoops just to avoid giving the discount you have advertised and expect them to ever come back.

After having heard good reviews about Khatoon I’m very disappointed. The meat was not fresh namely the chicken & lamb kebab. The meats were dry and tough and tasted like they were reheated and not cooked freshly. Very disappointed please do not serve reheated meats to customers it’s unacceptable.

Came along whilst in Harrow as a Tastecard holder having looked it up and really looked forward to visiting. Very disappointed to be turned away. We hadnt phoned ahead but when arrived asked for a table and that we had a tastecard and told "we dont take tastecard (but is on tastecard website) and we hadn't phoned" which was it, not taking tastecard or not phoned ahead? Plenty of tables available. Sorry we took our business somewhere else local. Also sorry you lost our money.

I went into Khatoon to eat and didn't really know what to expect. I was blown away by the food though. It was nice big portions. And the food tastes amazing. Really reminds me of iran. You can add also extras like kebabs etc without having to buy a whole seperate meal which is what most restaurants don't do because they're very inconsiderate of their customers. But khatoon is the best place I have been to where the service is excellent and the food is out of this world. Just delicious.

I visited for dinner on Sunday with my mum. The decor is clean, minimalist and modern. Upon arrival we were promptly seated and given menus.We ordered fresh carrot juice which arrived about 15 minutes later and was very nice and pure, first veg juice I have had that tasted exactly like the produce used to make it! We ordered a starter to share of grilled smoked aubergine, egg, tomatoes, onion and garlic with a side of flat bread, which was very nice however I did add a little salt and chilli as I personally found it a bit bland.We both ordered lamb mains which came with a roasted tomato, salad and rice. The portions were good and the food very fresh. The lamb was very soft and juicy but again for me lacked depth of flavour. I did however enjoy the garlic mayo and chilli sauce which complimented the meat and rice perfectly! Although you do need to ask for it as it wasn't offered until my mum mentioned it. Due to the portion sizes we didn't order any desserts.My only criticism is about the service. It was very, very slow and extremely frustrating especially as it wasn't busy at all. I wonder how they would manage when fully booked! Unfortunately the staff spent most of their time standing behind the bar not paying any attention to the customers. In order to get any attention we had to wave the staff down, even when wanting to pay the bill. The staff desperately need further training.I would visit again however would try different dishes. I would recommended to those who don't enjoy strong flavours but do enjoy good quality food with subtle seasoning.

I reviewed the takeaway offerings way back in December 2014 and have enjoyed numerous such takeways since then but finally managed to visit the restaurant in early May. A little confusing as the restaurant is actually called Khatoon so not sure where Ice'fire came from (unless Khatoon is Farsi for Ice'Fire?)In any event we arrived around 7:30, the restaurant has about 40 covers and, as would be expected early evening mid week, there were only about 10 people in the restaurant (although more arrive later).In common with many Persian restaurants this one is not licensed but the soft drinks are ridicuously cheap.The ambiance is fairly plain and functional but not unattractive. Our waitress struggled a little with English but we managed to convey our order and the food arrived fairly quickly. As with the takeaways there was plenty of pure white rice with some saffron rice on top, most of the dishes (but not all) consist of various cuts of lamb and/or chicken prepared in different ways and again, as usual, very enjoyable. Persian food is a little bland so don't expect much in the way of spices but is nonetheless very tasty. We finished with Persian tea which was slightly spicy and very nice, we were also serviced with some sort of crystalised favoured sugar on a small stick which was incredibly hard but softened to be edible after dunking in the tea.The other diners were quite a mixed bunch, a couple with a young child, a group of younger people as well as more mature couples, most of whom were from the extended Persian region.The bill was an incredibly reasonable under £30 with 10% service added.A good experience overall and the restaurant is definately worth a visit and we wlil be going backPS I have ticked the box that says the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. It is if you have a manual wheelchair and carers/PAs who are able to lift the chair up a small step (about 2-3 inches). If you are self propelling or in an electric wheelchair, then no it isn't accessible

NO TISSUES EVERYTIME. I don’t know how much money they have saved by not supplying the tissues. This is not the first time, even though you go in person they always avoid giving tissues. it’s common sense that whoever is buying food will need to wipe his/her hands.

It was more synchronicity than accident that the first Wetherspoons emerged from the first year of Thatcher: the rise of this business model walked hand in hand with the gradual erosion of the Working Men’s Club, where subsidised beer was part of the overall energy of what was on offer. Back in the day, men would sit so very loyally in these institutions, often finishing a shift, going straight there to either nurse beer or watch what entertainment on offer. It wasn’t urban myth that women of the seventies and eighties marriages would walk to these clubs and serve their men the dinner there, or come in for a row. The proverbial stay at home wife still exists, though today a far different creature, being kept happy with holidays, cars and home furnishings. This bar has an ignored tourist base: all Wetherspoons now, regardless of geography should be aware of the Arbnb market. But, like all chains, it has no hope of dealing with this energy, preferring instead to deal with the constraints of blanket brand approach. Here, moments away from the most exclusive boy’s school in the country exists a dogged Trinity: heavily pierced and tattooed staff with relationship interconnectivity with staff elsewhere in Harrow bars, gossip with customers that are not too happily married. 2 fiercely compromised gentlemen of note need really badly to hold court: one a compulsive gambler and self appointed Town Cryer/Snitch, the other a coke addict, needing cheap boooze and proximity to a nearby club that facilitates more time away from the missus. Both are guilty of rumour spreading to qualify for Anglo Saxon Village punishment. Further back from the seventies, gossips, snitches and muck spreaders were Cukked: bathed in excrement and shamed. The third aspect to this Trinity is the barring policy of Spoons. Here the really nasty alternative life of a post grad is eased with the power to barr. The town itself has the barring from this bar as a kind of weird Badge of Honor. Everyone who has it in them to give money to this institution has been barred at one time or another. Note that it took a huge amount of effort to have Greene King barr a very irritating individual claiming to be the cousin of Tim Martin. His very best friend sits here whilst others remain barred. Another visit is due. The poor social media (almost), says it all. Wetherspoons has it’s critics but remains a great brand. Reliability, social cohesion and a sense of history are it’s strengths. BUT, it has a tendency to be one thing in the centre of things and another in the suburbs and regions. It need not be so. A visit to The Beaten Docket in Cricklewood is where a traveller will find groups of guys playing cards, backgammon, enjoying each other without a whiff of a chance of one of them stabbing the backs of the league. Centrally located Spoons are a boon. If thinking that this bar represents brand or locale it serves, think again, go instead to the Three Wishes in Pinner or the Spoons in Baker St.

This is an amazing venue if you want quality food, quality shisha and attentive service. I visited this venue for the first time with friends. The staff were attentive and welcoming. No pressure to order several shishas per group which has been my experience at other shisha venues in the surrounding areas in the past. I ordered the falafel salad and mint tea. The food was fresh and had been prepared with care. The shisha quality was also amazing. Usually I always feel that there is a harshness to shisha but at this venue it was soo smooth- clearly they are using quality shisha, flavouring and coal. The staff also come around to change the coal and remove any excess ash. One of the owners Naz was extremely friendly and actually sat with us and socialised with us for a while which was a great touch. The prices are also very reasonable. Overall a really nice chilled out venue. I would recommend and will definitely be returning.
