Pardis in City of London, Westminster

Went as part of an Amex experience restaurant hopping tour within the london restaurant festival. Service was excellent. Restaurant decor and vibe was good. Food was good. We had stew collection - Bamich, gheymeh, ghormeh sabzi with Gin & lemonade

This was my second visit to this hidden gem. I was there with my husband before and loved the whole experience so much that I decided to take my friends there. we enjoyed the food, the portion sizes were just right, the owner and staff very friendly. My friends were muslim so having a Halal restaurant was great. one of my friends is a chefr hersel, so when she likes a restaurants meal I know that food is great. we had a great time. I have already recommended it to many of my friends and will be back.

Went to this restaurant last night and was treated like Royalty,in fact there were Royal Princesses present. The food is amazing and high quality.The Service was very attentive without being intrusive.It feels special but comfortable at the same time.I didn’t want to leave.

As a regular guest prior to COVID and refurbishment, I have been waiting for Pardis to reopen. First things first, the food is just as delicious as before and the atmosphere is just as cosy thanks to the charming owner. Besides some visual uplift, the biggest twist is to the concept. As the owner describes it, the inspiration came from tapas - the menu is very flexible to build many combinations and the portion sizes make it entirely possible to have a great tasting experience without overeating. For me, this is actually 'rightsizing'. The clever serving adds a nice visual experience to the traditional flavours.

The rice is cooked in a unique way and delicious… my kids ordered second portions of the grilled chicken and lamb kebab. The Persian lemon sorbet with rice noodle was something I’d never tried before and was really interesting. Staff were super sweet and its great to have them back in the neighbourhood.

Excelente comida y ambiente en este pequeño, acogedor y acogedor restaurante a solo unos pasos de la estación Marble Arch. La comida es increíblemente buena y el servicio de Maryam fue atento, amable y servicial. Ambiente encantador! ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar este restaurante si desea disfrutar de la comida persa adecuada! ¡Definitivamente regresaré!

Cualquiera que haya cocinado comida iraní se dará cuenta de que este es un mal ejemplo de la deliciosa cocina iraní.El arroz blanco hervido sin sabor tenía una muestra de nueces y sultanas dulces esparcidas en la parte superiorUn vistazo rápido al libro de cocina Persiana le mostrará que esto no es arroz iraníEl plato de pescado monje tenía una salsa deliciosa, pero ¿el cocinero omitió el pescado? Si no hay pescado, no lo sirva y cobre 19 por la salsaEl estofado de cordero estaba lejos de ser especial, ya que carecía del sabor esencial de lima secaQuizás alguna vez fue bueno, pero lamentablemente no más

He estado en muchos restaurantes iraníes en Londres, pero ninguno de ellos era lo suficientemente digno para que perdiera el tiempo para escribir una crítica. . PERO Pardis ha puesto el listón tan alto para que yo considere considerar ir a cualquier otro. . la comida era INCREÍBLE de calidad a sabor a porción. . No podía dejar de comer incluso cuando estaba lleno. . El personal era muy atento e incluso el dueño era un amor que me hizo sentir como un invitado en su casa. . el té rosado al final es imprescindible. . ahora incluso ordeno sacar por teléfono y me entregan la comida. . Cada vez que estoy en Londres, Pardis siempre está en la lista para visitar u ordenar. .

Ok pardis I had my favorite dinner here Which is nice Service very good Prices moderate Staff friendly

Conocí a una vieja y buena amiga para almorzar aquí. Ella había visitado recientemente Irán, por lo que quería que se me recordara un momento interesante.Después de leer los comentarios anteriores de Tripadvisor, estábamos preparados para la tarifa de descorche 10. Yo prefiero el vino blanco en el almuerzo, ella prefiere el tinto. Entonces, cada uno de nosotros trajo una botella y nos preguntó si podíamos beber la mitad cada uno por 10. La respuesta fue no. Así que los dos bebimos el vino blanco, que estaba bien, aunque el descorche era un poco más del costo del vino.Ambos tuvimos a Jooeh y compartimos una Taboulah. Perfectamente agradable y bueno, pero no excepcionalmente. ¡Más una montaña absoluta de arroz!Para terminar, me sorprendió un poco el té de menta, que era un té negro bastante fuerte con un par de trozos de menta y costaba 6. 50 para una persona.El personal era encantador y hacía todo lo posible, pero con 63 por un plato, más el descorche, no estoy seguro de que sea un restaurante de destino.

Estuvimos dos parejas que visitan Londres y encontramos este increíble restaurante persa.La decoración era acogedora, limpia y luminosa. El personal era amable y servicial, y nos aconsejó sobre los platos, ya que necesitábamos ayuda para seleccionar su menú. . . mucha comida encantadora para elegir.Cuando llegó la comida. . . ¡Guauu! La presentación fue buena pero el sabor fue aún mejor! A todos nos encantó cada plato y estuvimos muy contentos con toda la comida y la experiencia.Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera y definitivamente regresaremos cuando podamos.¡Bien hecho chicos, gracias por cuidarnos!

Había estado en este restaurante dos veces antes y me pareció bastante bueno, así que llevé a algunos parientes allí. Estaban bastante contentos con la comida. Tenía alitas de pollo picantes como entrante, que había tenido antes, y eran buenas. No estaba muy seguro de los pinchos de cordero como principales, sin embargo, eran aceptables. Lo que no es aceptable, y la razón por la que no volveré, es que cobran 10 por descorche. Esto no está, su sitio web menciona que puedes traer tu propio vino, pero no menciona ningún cargo, y esto no es honesto. 10 para abrir una botella, que tuve que comprar y llevar al restaurante? ¡Venga! Esta es una estafa inaceptable. Hicieron un beneficio de 10 y perdieron un cliente para siempre. Apreciaría una respuesta de ellos, pero dudo que obtenga una, no parecen el tipo de personas que se preocupansobre Tripadvisor

Fui al restaurante con mi familia para un restaurante familiar preparado y muy cálido dando la bienvenida a la señora del restaurante fue muy amableRespecto a la comida que pedíKappap y Shappze y BathenganToda la comida era excelente y deliciosa, no apestosa, muy ligera en el estómago.Es realmente comida casera.

Not like before Less food quality Service very good Pricey Nice out door seats Staff friendly Hope to see It better

Pardis is my new favourite local restaurant! After walking by this charming establishment hundreds of times, my partner and I finally decided to give it a go.

Ojalá pudiera dar este restaurante 0 estrellas. El servicio es el peor que he visto en cualquier restaurante de Londres.

The quantity and the quality are very good if you like meat dishes. One of the best Persian restaurants in London. The owner is really nice too

Mi esposa y yo hemos pasado este precioso restaurante persa muchas veces y a menudo pensamos que debería probarlo

باردس من مطاعمنا المفضلة محبب لدينا طلبت مرق شبزي ولبن دو وشاي بالبراد الخدمة جيد جدا الاسعار معتدلة

Really amazing Persian food. Quick and very friendly service. We were seated in the main room and were surprised how big the place is, so quite a bit of space. Loved the mixed grill kebabs and desserts. A wonderful hidden gem.

Best iranian food in the world highly recommend. I had Ghouzi which is rice and raisins on top of the lamb shank it’s the most fruity dish. My wife had bamieh which is okra stew. She loved it. it was magical flavor. Homely taste.

I eat out a lot in London with my family and have never had such bad customer service from the owner of the restaurant. The table was by the door and the restaurant was very cold. She upset the kids who were in tears. It took ages for someone to attend our table to take our order. This is an Arab restaurant and I felt that these are the only people they want to serve in their restaurant. Worst experience ever.

We attended the restaurant tonight with our family and the service was so shocking that I actually signed up to trip advisor. In no circumstance should anyone take their family there. As soon as we were seated by the door which was drafty and cold we were informed it was very busy and that it would be £15 per head which would include a baby, even though apart from us there was only 1 table occupied. The waitress kept coming up to the children of 18months, 3,8,9years and kept telling them off which ended with 2 of them in tears. As a family we eat out at least 4 times a week and have never been more shocked or dismayed at the service we received.

We stopped in to Pardis while wandering around London this week. The food was refined, seasoned well, and the prices were treasonable. Would definitely recommend!

Our second visit to this wonderful restaurant did not disappoint ..... it was fantastic tasty food once again.

Very good restaurant, if you would like to try real Persian Food is definitly worth a try. Service good as well and price reasonable.

Carne fresca y el increíble arranque. Muy buen servicio al cliente y la relación calidad-precio. Situado muy cerca de la estación de metro de Marble Arch, ubicación perfecta después de un ajetreado día de trabajo

La comida es una gran variedad con buenos ingredientes y buen gusto. Restaurante un poco apretadas y las porciones son grandes, se puede correr el riesgo de pedir! Por lo demás excelente sabor!

Great food and atmosphere, lovely hosts In particular would highly recommemd Mirza ghasemi + pickles

This is my favourite Persian restaurant in London, I always bring friends here and they love it! The staff are amazing, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I highly recommend Pardis for all occasions.

Came in with a friend who suggested it and thorougly enjoyed it. Can't remember the names of the dishes but they were all delicious!

walked in here by chance and we loved the unusual decor , the friendly service and the menu. Good food persian style , can be too much if you ask for the larger dishes but good to share . Overall really good food and ambiance.

مطعم ايراني يتميز بخلطة الطاجن بالرز اكله مرتب ويعتبر من المطاعم الوسط في الخدمه والاكل مقارنه بمطاعم لندن

It's a nice small restaurant for everyone. We were there for dinner with colleagues and we tried different dishes. I had Joojeh wich is a chicken skewer with rice. Portion was huge and the chicken was cooked propertly although the rice seemed to be a little bit dry. I might visit it again in the future for a more proper meal.

We were looking for a good Persian meal and quite by chance came upon the Pardis - great find! Extensive menu, outstanding food, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices attentive service; a lovely spot to eat and one we hope to visit again on our next visit to London. Although the restaurant is not huge, it offers both inside and outside dining and some of the best Persian dishes we have had since our days of working in the Middle East. Unless you plan on eating fairly early in the evening, I would strongly recommend you make reservations. Five stars for a lovely dining experience.

This is a quaint little restaurant, with chandeliers and bits of red brick showing through the stucco. We had one of the aubergine appetizers (Kashk-e-bademjan), dolmeh, Ghouzi, and Fesenjan - they were all absolutely delicious. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. Go here!

On a décidé d'aller manger persan ce midi. On repère Pardis. Après notre visite de Hyde Park on y va en famille.A l'arrivée une dame buvait du thé juste à l'entrée sur le trottoir. On doit la pousser pour entrer. On l'a su plus tard c'était la patronne (No bonjour ni mer... ni même laisser le passage aimablement). On peut dire que ça a mal commencé mais la suite a bien rattrapé la chose.Nous sommes accueillis par un garçon poli qui nous aide à nous installer. La décoration est simple mais originale. On remarque la carte de l'Iran gravée sur le mur avec une planche reproduisant Persepolis. On est 1 semaine après le norouz (début du printemps et nouvel an persan) on trouve un haft son joliment présenté (les connaisseurs doivent savoir). Bref ça va très bien de ce côté.Pour la commande chacun choisi une entrée et un plat. On a commandé tout ce qu'il t'a de plus classique: jus de grenade fraîchement pressé (vraiment frais fait maison), ashe reshteh, panir sabzi, mast o khiar bien présentés et bons. Les plats: koubideh, soltani, joujeh ba ostokhan, shirin polo va ghormeh sabzi. Du safran (un peu trop dilué ornait le riz). On n'a pas été déçu ni pour la quantité ni la qualité.L'addition pour finir était dans dans la moyenne. Si vous voulez découvrir la cuisine persane vous trouverez l'essentiel, si vous connaissez déjà cette cuisine vous serez pas déçu.

This restaurant has a charming, cosy feel to it with delicious food and friendly staff too. I had Mast-o-khiyar and bread to start and Ghormeh Sabzi as a main, both of which were so enjoyable, I would most definitely visit again.

A cosy restaurant near Edgware Road. For starters we had the hummus, yogurt with mint and cucumber and the third starter was eggplant with yogurt! All three were great and to have them with hot bread was quite appetising. For the main course Lamb kebab Koobideh was divine! And to top it all the buttermilk was outstanding. The Sheesha garden was closed for renovations as this was another relaxing place to have your mint tea. Hope to revisit the place again!

The food was OK, but nothing special, yet very over priced. The staff were not friendly or welcoming. One particularly unfriendly waitress seemed to loom over our table so that we felt uncomfortable and under pressure to order. We were told that we could BYOB, so popped out to buy a cheap £6 bottle of wine which we poured ourselves. When the bill came we'd been charged £10 corkage! There was a set service charge that could not be removed even though our service had been poor. We were not allowed tap water. Is that legal? We paid almost £20 for a few olives and some hummus. It didn't even come with bread and when we asked for some bread we found later that that was added to the bill separately, and twice since the first basket of bread hadn't been large enough to eat all the hummus so we'd had to ask for more. Were we supposed to just eat it with a spoon perhaps? The loo was downstairs and we had to walk through a junk-filled storage area to reach it where the unfriendly waitress was hiding out and glared at us as we came through. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Ended up leaving still hungry and £80 lighter. AVOID

My nephew favorite He likes this restaurant The starters very goodKishk bathinjan Main dishes alsoMy nephew favorite I request okra stew with saffron riceThe others chelo Kabab and Chicken wings

A good assortment of fresh and cooked food, the lamb grilled or in stews melts in the mouth. The many rices sublime. A good way to experience home cooked Persian food in a family setting.

This is a small, family-run Persian restaurant that initially comes across as a great little find.I've now been here several times and have realised that actually the staff (who are a family) are only pretending to be nice. They are actually very rude and stuck-up, which is only made clear when you make a slightly odd request or chase the waiter up for your drink or something.For example, at one point our party of three was queueing to make a card payment upstairs and the staff member (who happened to be the mother of the family) was huffing and puffing at me because I keyed in the wrong pin for my card and there was a queue forming behind us. She was clearly stressed out because their card machine was suffering from a bad connection and she was fed up of waiting- how unbelievably unprofessional!The bottom line is that whilst the family-run nature of this restaurant initially seems like a blessing, over time you come to realise that it is truly to the restaurants detriment as it means that the staff feel like they are above you and lack professionalism.Also - the prices are extortionate.

Six of us had dinner in this charming restaurant. We all enjoyed the food and the staff charming and attentive.

All have chelo Kabab kubeda3 of us order the same with okra stewAnd Laban Nice food and serviceWe had a pot of tea outside in the outdoorVery aromatic teaBeen pleased from this visit we will be back again

Great food been many times and the owners are very welcoming. The place has good atmosphere as well. I'm always happy with the service I get to why I always go back.

Never been to a more rubbish place. The rates extortionrate and not value for money at all. Staff are so rude and take 10 minutes to move from one end to the other (which is rather bizarre since the place is the size of my bathroom) this probably explains why the staff change so frequently

The positive; the food is nice. It tastes fresh and tasty albeit a little more fatty then the lean meal I was looking to order. I looked forward to it, enjoyed it but the whole meal was detracted by what was to follow.The service here is beyond the rude. They do produce good cuisine and with an introduction of good manners and courteous service... the place would be great. The shisha garden is very pretty, parking convenient and brilliant prestigious location. However, the place is a shambles. The staff look like they're on the brink of tears. The owner is both obnoxious and insultingly rude. I have no idea how she can treat her customers on what borders on contempt. Oh they charge for water, don't have a liquor licence but insist on high corkage fees. Rip off prices for Shisha. Minimum spends. Minimum table time. Minimum order times. It's more complicated than the theory of relativity!! Surely a restaurant that is looking to maximise revenue uses more subtle techniques and pricing to achieve their objective. Works for the rest of London. Please avoid this place... this type of restaurant really needs diners to vote with their pay packet and force improvement. No customer merits this kind of treatment!

Тем, кто в Лондоне пытался найти ресторанчик с вкусной персидской или арабской кухней, где еще бы можно было покурить кальян, наверняка знает, что сделать это совсем не просто. В основном из-за того, что закон о запрете курения внутри общественных помещений появился в Англии намного раньше, чем в России. Кроме того, все кальянные , в основном в районе Edgware road, не отличаются ни высоким качество еды и сервиса, ни чистотой и привлекательным интерьером. Pardis же находится не так далеко, в улочках между Edgware road и Marble arch. Располагается на двух этажах: с улицы видно только маленькую часть ресторана, а дальше по лестнице вниз - еще часть ресторана и крытая терраса. Еда очень вкусная, порции даже очень большие. Пальчики оближешь! Всегда предлагают что-то сезонное и особенное. Персонал очень добродушный, иногда даже чуточку надоедливый, уж настолько они стараются, чтобы у клиента все было и чтобы он всем был доволен. Любителям кальянов тут особенно понравится. Пусть цена и чуть завышена, но кальяны делают мастерски и с особой аккуратностью. Очень советую в этом месте заказать кальян на фрукте, они готовы его приготовить на чем угодно ( в других местах предлагают обычно только яблоко или апельсин). В Пардисе же кальян вам сделают и на гранате, и на дыне или даже на арбузе. Отличное место для посещения днем с хорошей погодой!

This place seems to have got some good reviews so I went along with a friend. Very disappointing. Firstly they had no lamb shank and given a lot of their dishes are based on this thats pretty bad for 8pm on a Thursday night.I've had persian (Iranian) food plenty of times so I know a good one when I see it, I dunno maybe the chef had a fight with this wife that day - but the lamb & split pea stew was terrible ! All tomato paste and no flavour at all ! The portion was fine and good number of meat pieces but totally bland.Now i know persona food is DELICATELY spiced but it does have taste and flavour, not his though. The smoked aubergine was the same lacked chutzpah boring boring boring. And the spinach and kidney bean dish with the crunchy rice was the same. The only good thing was the crunchy fresh naan they gave and that unfortunately was not enough though all th either portions were fine.Honestly, for very similar food with far better taste, go to Wood Green right by the station and eat in any of the greek places there - the food is amazing, you get bread and aubergine free followed by stonkingly tasty food ! What is it with rich areas their restaurants are terrible but everyone thinks they are good ?1 Come with me people let me show you a world of real taste lol...

As you can see from my other reviews we have been chowing down on a lot of Persian food lately.... good times :-) So having had an excellent meal here with friends not too long ago (see my earlier review) we decided to visit Pardis once more and also to order catering for two recent events in the local area. Success on all fronts, I don't just recommend this place for eating in but if you want take out you are also in a good position here. Lets focus on what matters most, the food and what really stands out is the high quality of the food here, you can detect straight away that they are using really good lean meat for example in the Kebab which as you know is the trump card of Persian Cuisine. Sure, there are several other restaurants around where you can pick up a cheaper meal if you wanted too but then you get what you pay for... and you feel it later on too! This is certainly not the case @ Pardis from the first bite you know where the extra money went, it went into top grade ingredients and care in the sourcing and preparation of your meal (not to mention the ambiance and central location btw). This time we ordered various hot and cold mezzas all of which were first class and for mains we had the famous Koobideh kebabs, Chicken Kebabs and the Stew with Okra...... all of which were polished off and then we moved onto scheduling our next Pardis experience! There is a Sisha garden out back which is full of regulars enjoying, Teas, fresh juices, Sisha Snacks etc so you can continue your evening if you like. The restaurant gets very busy upstairs and downstairs and as result its bustling most evenings, so I would recommend going in with your "chillaxed" head on and you will be just fine..... Enjoy!

It seemed like a nice local restaurant. When we asked for wine list , we were told that they have no license for alkohol but we could buy and bring our own wine . So we did : a little bottle of beer and 1 bottle of red wine ( total costs 11 Pounds) They never mentioned anything about corkage but put on the bill 1,50 for the beer and 10 pounds for the wine ! If they warned us about this at the beginning - we would have gone to another restaurant instead of running out to the nearest shop to buy wine and pay double for it . Turkish coffeee was overcharged: 3,50 for a little cup-at the nearby restaurant we had it-better quality!- for 2 pounds/cup. Also disappointing tiny portions of starters ! Service charge of 12,5 % was obligatory apparently Anyway , we feel that we were cheated and certainly will NEVER go near that place again

In keeping with the review from September, we had a very similar experience. It appears that the owner is money orientated and willing to compromise on service as a result. Frankly I have never experienced anything quite like it and was compelled to write a review.We were charged £1 per takeaway request without being informed - a matter of principle as opposed to quibbling over a few pounds. A 12.5% service charge was also added for a party of three! When we spoke to the owner, she was aggressive and frankly very rude. She went as far to tell our group to 'kindly' eat elsewhere because we queried the takeaway and service charge.As a Londoner and a keen Persian food lover, I suggest if you fancy Persian food, go to a classy restaurant such as Alounak or Hafiz. These are more established restaurants that don't treat their customers like trash.

This tiny restaurant serves great food and the service is warm and exceptional.We couldn't have been treated better than at this tiny restaurant. The owner chatted to us and introduced us to her son. Actually we met him when we visited the restaurant in 2012 just after it had opened.The food is wonderful and reasonably priced (for London). Amazing appetizers and lamb dishes are best in class.Personally when I look at Tripadvisor reviews I ignore the outliers so don't take any notice of the people saying the restaurant is terrible, regard the majority who agree it's exceptional.Note too that there's a Shisha garden which is very nice, but I don't smoke...

We ordered food for a Sunday lunch, were shown outside and ordered. The food itself was average, however the service was dire. We asked for tap water (in addition to our drinks) and were refused. Something that has never happened to me before and is such a basic request that refusing it is rude to say the least.Having eaten we asked fro the bill and were told to get up and pay upstairs (so much for table service) where a tip was automatically added. In conjunction with the earlier terrible review I suspect the apparently parsimonious owner may need to consider sacrificing a few pennies of tap water/spilt card charges to ensure satisfied customers. Until that happens: AVOID.

We were a group of four intending to have lunch at this Persian restaurant. We started by ordering our starters and drinks. One of the party asked for a glass of tap water which was refused. When we asked why we were told that "the boss says so". I asked to speak to the boss, "the boss is the owner" "Well, can I speak to the owner please?" - "The owner is not here". We politely asked again and were still refused and ended up having to purchase a bottle of their mineral water. On hindsight we should have got up and left there and then, but some in the group were pressed for time. We had out starters and decided no to stay there any longer and asked for the bill. We had no intention of leaving a tip - but lo and behold it had already been added to the bill. The staff did not provide a welcoming atmosphere and were in fact quite arrogant in their attitude and didn't seem to care less. Sadly this is the first time that I feel strongly enough to write a negative review about a place I have visited. With so many other restaurants to choose from in London I suggest you give this place a miss".

First service and hospitality is perfect Food , starters , salade d'Olivia was just like what I had in Iran 50 years ago , we took various other starters , again , very good Then we took a mixed grill ,plus a Kabab Bagh , all méats were tender , very well marinated , the Djoudjeh Kabab was excellent To drink I asked for a Douk with Sparkling water , there was no problem , I could remember the real taste I Will come back to Pardis with more friends , I love this restaurant

I am not sure what happened to other reviewers because, in my experience, the service in Pardis was really good and welcoming. Food is ok but not the best Persian restaurant in London, to my taste. However I have to say that portions are huge, which is always a plus. If I have to find a negative, their toilets are so small and inconvenient! Anyways, I may go back for another nice and big meal when I am in the area.

We were a group of 8 friends who visited this restaurant for dinner. We requested a table outside, but were told that it would be a minimum spend of £20 per person for shish and we would have to order 4 shisha's for our group, so we decided to sit inside, where they insisted on a minimum spend of £15 per person. We ordered and were told that our order is too small, so we were forced to order some more food which we didn't necessarily need. After enjoying a relatively nice meal, we got the bill. The owner then proceeded to tell us that she can't accept payment from separate cards and would prefer one person to pay a bill of £150 as she would be charged for every card used. I have never come across a restaurant in london which refused to accept multiple cards. After arguing with her, she rudely and reluctantly accepted and allowed us to split the bill!! She even had the audacity to tell us that 'it's a Saturday night and you're only paying £150!!' Absolutely atrocious service from the owner herself!! You would think a small business would be more accommodating to their customers!!WOuld not recommend this place to anyone! The atmosphere and service is unacceptable!!!

This is a lovely restaurant with excellent Persian food. We have eaten here numerous time and have often taken friends along who have also enjoyed their meals. The quality of food is great and the atmosphere is also very pleasant (well-presented tables etc). There is a shisha garden downstairs which always seems to be busy but we haven't tried it. The staff are also very friendly. Overall, we would definitely recommend this place!

Visited the restaurant tonight (20th March 14) with some friends. Glad to see our table was nicely presented and the staff member was very welcoming. The food was delicious with great size portions and excellent value for money. The member of staff was really patience and waited till the rest of our friends turned up even though it was nearly their kitchen closing time. She was also very helpful in recommending and accommodating our needs. All in all I'd highly recommend the place and will definitely visit again.

Amazing customer service, beautiful ambiance and ever better food. Giant portions of delicious food we had to take away the rest! Shisha garden is beyond amazing. Hidden gem of London by far one of our favourite new places to eat. 10/10!!

I organised for my team at work to have lunch here this week and it was truly amazing. It's a lovely small intimate restuarant, with lots of character and the staff are really friendly. The owner helped us choose our food and it was "to die for!!" I would certainly recommend this restaurant as "the one to beat for authentic cuisine"

Discovered this gem by chance. The starters were excellent, and some new twists on standard aubergine and yoghurt based dishes. The kabobs are very good with the lamb fillets particularly of good quality. Service a bit hit and miss.

I had late lunch in the wonderfulIrani ( persian) restaurantIam been invited by my friendto it. The food and the servic very goodDespite the fact that the placus small but ut is nice

The outdoor space where shisha is served is decorated very nicely in the traditional Iranian manor, and nice atmosphere. The food was nice, but I don't think it's value for money- and even though its pricey and u will end up spending money there (they don't serve tap water, and it costs u £3 for the hot water to be refilled in ur tea pot)- they still have a stupid 2 hour seating policy- meaning u can't fully relax and enjoy your evening. This obviously makes it a disadvantage compared to its competitors only 2 mins away- so although I enjoyed the food, I wouldn't return therefor the reasons just given

We went here by chance and how lucky we were that day! The food was great, I loved the "Barg Kabob" it was just AWESOME! I have tried many Persian restaurants in different countries but this one was by far the best, the food was as good and tasty as Iran (if not better :D), HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I hope in the next experiences will be as good as this one :)

The proprietors really do want every last penny from you and never to return. No license for wine so they charge you £6 PER bottle to bring your own Sit in the garden? We agreed to buy shisha. Thereafter a sly POLICY comes out saying 1 shisha (£17) per two people! (no negotiation) - what if you dont fancy a lot of smoke after your meal!?Sit down for a meal followed by a shisha? Well finish in 2 hours (another POLICY) or they ask you to leave! We were, after being forced to buy 4 shisha for 7 people turfed out for taking 2 hours to finish a 3 course meal and smoke a load of pipes we didnt want!A table of 7 drinking own wine, forced to buy 4 shisha and turfed out after 2 hours - that will be £40 a head please!Hillarity - none of us are tight - most of us would have returned often, however forced to buy shisha you cant even smoke as you've been turfed out from 2 hours would be unacceptable to most on Tripadvisor I would have thought. IF you do have the misfortune to attend the premises please don't think that the majority of Iranians behave in the fashion of the proprietors. The proprietors are laughable. Watch their behavior for yourself to entertain yourself with what is actually good food with good waiters.

Upto the time we arrived the amateur waitress who seemed to know very little was trying to take our order, nevertheless she looked stressed and did the most she could. We waited so long that it was upsetting to eat so late. Their was no service, everything was slow, which was a shame as the food was decent. A lady that seemed like the owner of the place was ill-mannered and rude to all the staff and customers around her! We really don't know how she manages this Resturant unless she is a no body and making a bad name for this Pardis place.

Yesterday we went to pardis with 5 of our north American friends visiting London from California. We wanted to impress them with the best of london's Persian cuisine and they were beyond impressed. Pardis excelled one more time in terms of quality,service and that special touch that continues to touch and affect....Thank you all my good friends at Pardis for a lovely day. Hope to return and enjoy your fabulous food and service for many years to come..Shiva

Cozy restaurant, friendly owner, fabulous food, delicious flat bread cooked where you can see in a clay oven. No alcohol sold, but you can bring your own bottle of wine for a corkage fee.

I loved the food and the serviced was excellent. It is one of the best Persian food i tried here in London. The cost was very reasonable too.

Had planned on going to an Italian restaurant, but when we came to Connaught Street, it was closed. So we looked around and Pardis caught our eye.The food is really tasty and so fresh. We had a few starters to share, for main we had lamb and chicken. All very tasty and tender.The only thing we all disliked is that the portions were so large. None of us could finish what was given to us, and it feels like a waste of food. If I go back (which is likely) I would ask for a smaller portion.Service was good and friendly.

great food, real atmosphere loved the spicy lamb and the bread made on site in the tandoor. it does not sell alcohol due to its Muslim culture. but you can walk four doors down and buy wine which the restaurant will serve. loved the babaganoush entree. go for it

Hands down a highlight of our trip, we stumbled upon this restaurant not far from Marble Arch for lunch. I haven't eaten much Persian cuisine, only a few other times in Dubai. The owner was present and it wasn't busy, so she chatted with us about Persian cuisine and its many variations and where much of it comes from geographically in Iran. She recommended this absolutely mind-blowing lamb, nut, raisin and cranberry dish over rice that was one of the most delicious meals we've ever had. Such subtle and unique flavors, mix of sweet and savory. We also ordered a mixed grill that was cooked to perfection. The owner, which name I wish I got, was really very interesting: she told us about Persian cuisine, and her own variations of it. She gave us a free appetizer, yogurt, cucumber and mint with flatbread and this eggplant tomato and egg dip that was very different from Baba Ghannoush. Downstairs, a beautiful garden with arguileh (hookah), perfect for an evening of relaxation if we'd come for dinner. Would absolutely go back and recommend to anyone.

An excellent family run Persian restaurant with many traditional dishes and very high standards. Has a lovely intimate atmosphere with a number of interesting spaces to sit, including a hidden garden at the back. No licence, but tolerant of taking your own!

We discovered this little Persian gem very late at night whilst looking for somewhere to eat and were still accommodated. In the back is an unexpectedly lovely little garden with Persian carpets, fairy lights, seating and shisha. The typical Persian food was wonderful and the service very friendly. Not the cheapest of Persian restaurants but worth it anyway as you can bring your own drinks! We were pleased with this discovery and will be going back!

I've been to this restaurant many time by now and every time I get more convinced that it is the best Persian restaurant I have ever been to in London. It is a small restaurant near Edgware Road and in my opinion it serves better food than all middle eastern restaurant in Edgware Road. I have tried half of their menu and I loved all their dishes except one I must say called Tahdeed. The Sultani and The Quzi are not to be missed for the main course and The Mirza Qasimi from the appetizers. If you like shisha, the restaurant has a small garden where you can enjoy your meal and have a shisha, however, it is better to make a reservation if you want to be seated in the garden.In addition, the restaurant staff are so welcoming and the owners are always there to insure that customers are satisfied with their order.

I was starting to lose hope as one by one the Persian restaurants in London were either going under or going downhill fast. Would I ever have a decent Barg again? Fortunately, a friend told me about this place just off the Edgware Road which was a relative new comer. The place has got plenty of seating inside and out, they even have a Sisha garden tucked away at the back of the property. We tried it out for Sunday Lunch. Lovely food and good service too, We had Koobideh, Barg and Khoresht aka the holy trinity. All were tender, flavorful and just generally a cut above similar kebabs we have had all over the place. For those of you who are regulars on the Persian Cuisine Scene (that rhymes!) just go, you will not be disappointed and those who are new to it I would really recommend this place, Persian food done right is a real treat and surprisingly not as well-known as you so many other staples in London. The fresh bread and mezzas at the start are also beautifully spun - Good Job Pardis!
