Patogh Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Really bad experience! The place is not clean nor the waiters nor the food presentation and tase.

A restaurant in 2024 and still don’t have Apple pay, they only accept CASH!!

I have ordered through Uber Eats. The quality of the food was shocking. Ash reshteh was so bad, same as the Koobideh. That wasn't the

Very old place , very delicious Iranian food . It's one of the best in London in Edward road

Excellent place for Kabab, Had Fish was outstanding

We were in the area and given it's Edgware Road, we needed to get our kebab fix. Between the two of us, we shared two main dishes - the mixed koobideh and mixed chicken with half salad and half rice and a side of hummus. They were generous in portion size and tasty.

Visited yesterday- very rude staff and prices have increased whilst the quantity and quality has gone down. Very greedy owner who forces families to order for babies and embarass customers in front of others by threatening them to leave the table if they do not order for their children. This place used to be good but on my last few visits I have had a very bad experience and will not be coming back. Owners and staff do not care about their customers. Avoid !

Ate here with english and Iranian friends as highly recommended.Much hype about mediocre food and an indifferent ambiance.Have read the good reviews.Maybe they were having a bad day but I will not take the chance again.

£8 for a “big” bread … you wouldn’t get charged that in a restaurant in Mayfair! The restaurant cleanliness was not great, the food was average and the staff were dismissive. I wouldn’t go again.

Cozy little authentic place. The food came quickly and tasted good and fresh. The price was very reasonable. Huge recommendation.

Our very time at this small, friendly Persian restaurant and we liked it a lot, sat upstairs with local families who were regulars, and enjoyed the chilled-out ambiance and great food! Happy to try it again as there were dishes we need to explore next time round ....

My mother and I went there several times because it is really delicious. The waiters are super friendly, generous and overall a warm atmosphere. The tea is also very good. Kind regards from Germany & Poland ;)

Was expecting more attention when it comes to serving customers, they forgot items after ordering, none of them talking Persian and they lack English so was a bit of confusion, food was alright nothing special, as someone who knows the quality of Persian food, I could tell the food we ordered wasn’t fresh, also they only accept cash or direct bank transfer which is weird and when we asked why they just gave us attitude and showed us the bank account number!!! Won’t take my bf there no more, was first time trying there and no more, fix your attitude + food quality guys and rest assured you’ll have more customers…

Cute little spot with lovely family run atmosphere. Nice food, good portion sizes of salads bread and rice. Tasty Okra Stew for vegetarians.

Hidden Gem! Don't fall for the negative reviews here complaining about plates and interior is not "posh" enough. Excellent food, fresh, hot and exploding with flavor! First timers should 100% try the mixed koobideh and cucumber yogurt!

A very small cafe. The only starters they had other than yogurt was baba ganoush! So clearly not Persian! Charger £8 for bread which is unbelievable! When I questioned it, he said it was because u asked for big bread. The bread wasn’t any bigger than anything u get at Persian restaurants for which you pay £2-3. Small portions for main course. The prices are the same as proper Persian restaurants but to be honest for a small cafe like this, very unusual to have to pay same price. Quality of kebab was ok. Nothing brilliant. Also the salad that they put on the side of the dish was a disgrace! Overall very disappointed.

Awful place. Overcharge you for everything. Charged £8 for bread when Al other restaurants charge £2-3 for freshly baked oven bread. The place needs a proper refurbishment. They need to get proper plates.

Low quality bad service and I dnt recommend…. I am an Iranian and this is not authentic food and they only accept Cash so this place is also dodgy and not paying taxes….!

Sorry but this place doesn’t deserve any praise and I’m baffled by some of the positive comments and can only put it down to some people who are not Persian and have never eaten quality food. This place was not nice at all. Service was terrible they only accept cash and the meat and rice was just really weak and I dnt recommend anyone visiting this place unless u want to waste ur money

Very authentic food, nice staff and cosy ambiance. Can defo recommend!

The food was excellent in previous years, especially the Chengè tikka, but unfortunately this year the quality of the meat and rice went down a lot, and the tikka was dry and the pieces were smaller, and it was not the same as the previous year. This is why I revised my rating from 5 to 3. Note: The restaurant accepts cash payments, as do many oriental restaurants in London. Order as much as you can eat because they do not have a package (parcel).

Very bad, the kebab was very mediocre, I didn't like the rice, and the area was basically bad

The worst food , it was not fresh ,cooked hours ago , the lentil was still not cooked , I did not like how they sherredid the meat rather than chunks of meat, is a cheap way to say money . The younger was warm , I ordered 4 main course and all failed ,not worse a penny

Terrible food. The Bandari Kebab had a very bad taste.

Great little find. No frills but authentic Persian food, reasonably priced. Cash only when we visited. Would recommend and visit again.

Authentic Persian food ! Been going for a while always the same fresh food !

Great cheap and honest Persian food

Amazing authentic place with its own charm, remains great value for money given its location.

Consistent quality and flavour keeps me coming back

Delicious food,good quality & good portion size 👍🏼

Bread was good but meat and rice was very poor quality. I regret bringing my Persian parents there.

An excellent restaurant with good food and fast service

Food is very tasty and prices are fair. But be ready for a hectic service and atmosphere. Guess it's part of the experience... definitely not a place to have a calm meal with friends, just order, eat and leave.

We’ve ordered 2 dishes ,firstly the kebab which was less than normal and secondly sultani kebab was bad and smelly. You can pay with two methods either bank transfer or cash. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant ever

Wouldn't never of thought to go in but we read reviews and had to try this place. The good was amazing! Only problem was the shop was small but otherwise worth the it!

Fantastic traditional food! Located just off of Edgware Road before the Mcds. It’s a very small and cramped restaurant that’s been there for a very long time but I visited it after 17 years and the food was beautiful! I ordered the Special koobideh, lamb was full of flavour n very tender, chicken was well cooked and tasty. Service could’ve been better just got a little creeped out by the staring staff because everyone and everything is so close together.

I had the ground lamb and lamb kabobs on bread with an appetizer that tasted like baba gonoosh. Highly recommended: delicious lamb and a great value for the money. I would have been happy splitting this dinner with someone else and there would have been plenty. Look at the pictures before ordering if you don't want leftovers.

So sad to see the big change in the quality of food and service. The prices are also inflated so it was zero value for the money. This used to be one of my favourite places.

It is an Iranian restaurant (the employees are Moroccans) and it only accepts cash. It is very small and is located on Al-Jawwar Street (known as Arab Street). The food is good, but not as it was described to me. Perhaps it is one of the best restaurants that serve barbecue in London. I don’t know. Its price is very reasonable at £41 for two people, a plate of meat kebab, shish tawook and a plate of hummus (canned) that is not fresh.

Small cosy restaurant that serves big plates of delicious food, wanted to try something different and the reviews for this little corner of Persia were through the roof, and rightly so.

The food is delicious and amazing, but their downside is that the place is sometimes cramped, the place and the tools used are not clean at all times, and the payment is cash only. We went to the restaurant an hour before they closed, but God willing, it was crowded.

A small cozy Persian family restaurant that serves by far the best lamb kebab I have ever had. Try the minced lamb kebab for 15 💷with rice or salad but I’d go with that buttery flavoured rice. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting London to not miss it out. Don’t forget the tea . They accept Cash only OR money wire.

Didn’t let us just share starters. Told us they won’t serve them without mains, totally unacceptable. I had food here before and it was great. But I didn’t expect this as no other restaurant ever told me this before.

I was truly disappointed. Lack of staff, awful food. I would never go back there again

As always, the food and service were impeccable, as well as the prices are very reasonable. Only downside is the cash only policy.

Sub-zero quality Bland rice and rock-hard meat cubes Truely disappointed

So expensive, and they didn’t except Visa

Service was v efficient. Food was very tasty. Lots of different flavours. Big portions. Couldn’t finish them. Reasonable price too. Good value.

Amazing food. Been regular customer for last 10 years. I always try their kebab with saffron rice 🤤🤤. That butter on rice is just cherry on top. Must try and yes dw about the spare changes and consider it as a tip in advance 🤣. Keep it up guys and get a bigger place .

The food was awful and the grilled meat smelled really bad, the shallot yogurt was the worst yogurt of my life. The price is high and the quality is very bad.

Terrible and awful food, no fresh food , frozen kebab was served heated in a microwave No heating in upper section , cold and damp I shall never visit again

The worst experience I’ve had in a Persian Restaurant! Service terrible and food not worth the money…!

The food is great...but the service people is very bad... But one thing the kitchen staff is very good and hard workers also friendly...

4.25 💶 Price/Value: appropriate for London. 🕯️Ambience/Athmosphere: quite small little shop, almost a bit uncomfortable. 🧀 Food: mostly Kebab for the mains, but good quality. 🍷Drinks: Good Doogh, some sodas. 🗣️ Staff: you get served quickly. Humble and unpretentious Persian restaurant. Go here for a quick bite/Kebab [Cash only!]

Cheap but not in a good way. Poor staff hygiene and meat quality is very bad.

Doesn’t live to the hype it has somehow gotten. The food is average, the service is awful and the place is disgusting. We literally had mice running around whilst having dinner. Do NOT recommend this place!

Had good Persian food. One big red flag - they force you to order at least one main per person if you are dining in, despite their helpings being quite large.

Exceptional food, lovely decor, and service is usually spot on, but can be hit or miss. Prices have risen recently, but they were a bit of a bargain before! An Edgware Road stapel and a must try... But remember, cash only.

The hygiene is awful. The chef puts salad, tomato, and onion with hand that he puts everywhere

Good restaurant with good Persian food but very small. Small space between tables...

Simples , apetitoso diferente respeitando as suas tradições.

من أفضل المطاعم الشرقيه والأكلات التركيه الافغانيه الفارسيه في نهايه شارع ادجورد رود قبل الاشاره التقاطع T وقد داومت على زياره المطعم خلال ٢٦ عام... الي ٢٠٢٣م الملاحظات لايتعامل بالبطاقات الاءتمانيه الاكاش/ نقدا.. وضيق المكان وكثره الزباين..

The food was good The service very bad only except cash

Escape the everyday life to this hidden cozy ambiance restaurant with always fresh and great tasting food.

Great little place, food is excellent. Cash only. Highly recommend it.

This restaurant is the best for Kebabs

Masters of the Iranian kebab, place is cozy and service can be slow but OMG the food is delish! Even brought work lot here, prices are reasonable

It tastes great , cheap and cheerful . Cant complain . I enjoyed the kobida kebab with rice/bread and salad on the side , you cant go wrong . Cash only . See you soon.

WoW again I am discovering new amazing places Thank you Razor #LDC

Good authentic food. Don't miss the bread that they bake in their own oven, it's fantastic and huge!

One of my fav spots in London. Big special bread is unreal!

The taste of chicken kebab is not good as it used to be probably owner or chef has changed. I will not be going there again. Not worth going there anymore!

Very unique decorations, food is good and very fast service. The prices are very responsible and the portions are good enough. They only accept Cash

Well priced grilled dishes with amazing bread and taste. It's a small place with seating upstairs but well worth the visit. Ate to our fill with the special dishes and mixed starters because we were so hungry, what you see cost £53

Such a gem! Really this is the best place to get a good sized plate of food, really tasty, flavourful and satisfying!

Food is delicious. Perfectly made fresh food. Their mains were so nice and houmous felt like was made there and then. Absolutely delicious. Just didn't like how they served water in a plastic jug. It's a very small place very tight and has 1 or 2 rules. But food is good.

It’s a hole in the wall as well as BYOB but the food is excellent and staff are friendly. A must try.

Bread very nice, grills okay, starters below average, always ask for bill they always try to overcharge

Lovely Persian food and quaint joint, service up close and personal

We eat on a very hot September night, not something I think I've ever said before in the UK. I used to visit frequently in the late 90's early 2000 and it was great. It wasn't bad but not as good as back in the day. The staff were reasonably friendly and the food was OK, but I think I'm unlikely to rush back, but if you were passing -it's passably good. We ate chicken and Lamb Kebabs dishes with half rice half salad, and brought our own drinks from the Waitrose on Edgware Rd.

I used to live right across the street from patogh and ordered from them all the time. I went back today after a year and was sad to see a big dip in services, food quality and value for money. When the food came, I quickly realised the meat skewers are much smaller than they used to be but about £5 more expensive. The hummus is very very small too and costs a fiver. The reason behind the 2 star review is the customer service. We came with a baby and pram and were easily accomodated to sit at a table which was nice. However, our waiter was quite grumpy, did not smile at all and made us feel umwelcomed. We finished eating and 5 minutes after we got the bill. We didn't ask for it by the way. Shortly after the waiter came to split the tables so they can accomodate other guests. We had a pram, bags and a baby so we did not appreciate being kicked out literally almost the minute we put our forks down.

Once upon a time this was a hidden gem on Edgeware Road, the place is very small some would describe it as cosy! I decided we would go with my family, 4 of us, we got there and asked to go upstairs, we were informed it needed cleaning! I asked if they could clean it, but the response I recieved was it would take a long time. We were told we could have the tables by the door, but there was no assistance or attempt to rearrange the tables. it at this point decided that if this was attitude to hosting us that our money would be best spent else where, they were absolutely not bothered that we had left. I cannot comment on the food, but this laissez-faire attitude to customer service spoke volumes. not a family or child friendly place at all

Nice pleace to eat, the service is very good, but not 5 star.

Nice little family run place off Edgware Road....Great tasting food and service from the owners...food is always bursting of flavours and juices

Super tiny but very cosy place. Great food - their boneless chicken, baby chicken, lamb kebab everything is spot on. Trunky Tip: ask for their butter and go all out on the rice. So delish.

Food was alright, nothing amazing but not bad either. They got my order wrong, said they'll rectify it but never did. Price wise it is very fair for the area. I do have to say there was a member of wait staff who was beyond rude to nearly every customer, I've never seen anything like it in my life. Ruined the meal and atmosphere to be honest.

Perfect for a date, really nice rustic looking place

مطعم شرقي جميل واكل حلو ولكن المكان صغير

Food was ok, although I was disappointed a little bit as they had no barg kebab but the other kebab were very good. The starter mast o mosir was average as the garlics were not squaushed. Dogh drink was a disaster and warm and they had no Persian ice-cream which for a Persian restaurant that is not usual. Service was friendly and good.

We visited before the Pandemic.We only decided to visit as we were in the area and this place seemed to have good reviews. The place is tiny and depressing, we sat upstairs and hardly had any space to move, we had to get up when others were leaving so they could get past us. The service was ok.We were very disappointed with the food. We love Persian cuisine and have been to many restaurants in London which have far better atmosphere and tasty food. Food seemed bland and due to that we will definitely not be returning.

I go here very often whenever im in London, the food is 5 star no doubt and very consistent. Iv given it 3 star because its in a awkward location, No parking, also its a very tight spaced restaurant, the owner whos always there behknd the counter is friendly but the waiter staff iv always found them to be unproffessional and unhelpful and at times make you feel like your not welcome once youv ate. But the food is amazing in taste and quality infact one of the best places i would say in edgware.

I was recommended to go here by a friend and let me just say I will never return . We entered the store and asked to sit upstairs as the downstairs was packed and there were no precautions for COVID . The upstairs was not only cold but we waited for 20 minutes as the waiters completely forgot about us so we had to remind them that we were still there .When the food finally arrived there was a hair in the handmade bread and the food was tasteless . The worst part was we were not shown to the upstairs seating so when we got to the room the room was dark and with no lightening .I do not think customers have to search for the light when entering a restaurant let along go upstairs alone without any assistance.The meat shish was cold and had no flavour and the salad looked old .Its cheap I can say that but it was not worth the risk .

So this place is a favourite of ours so we decided to go here. The kofta kebabs were so fake didnt taste like meat at all tasted like a very old patty from mcdonalds. Kebabs looked like they have been frozen for months. Dry tasteless rubber is how I would describe the taste. Must be new owners because I didnt see the old faces in there and food quality and taste has gone very downhill...will definitely not be coming back. Shame on the new owners who have ruined the reputation of this once amazing place.

A vederlo non gli daresti un cent, ma cucina tipica e molto molto buonananchebde un po' pesantina. Consiglio il macinato di agnello è straordinario accompagnato dal thè verde.. ci tornerò sicuramente

When I was living in London this restaurant was one of my favourite! It’s a small place but it’s so typical! You can eat lot of special things and all so delicious! Also the staff are very smiling.I suggest you to try this typical restaurant!

a good solid choice in the area, food is VERY good and service ok. we usually like to go for dinner. crowded place , good feeling about it

Es pequeño, en la planta baja con capacidad para 12 personas, y la comida se cocina y prepara frente a usted. Asientos arriba si está ocupado. Servicio amigable. Comida persa básica pero es sabrosa, auténtica y económica. Si lo solicita, prepararán entrantes mixtos y varios platos principales: parrillas con ensalada y pan fresco increíble cocinado en el horno de leña. La carne se prepara a la parrilla frente a ti. Hay un guiso especial, pero pídales que se detengan en las pajitas de papa. Uno de nuestros lugareños favoritos, en Edgware Road, y puede traer su propio vino o cerveza (Waitrose a 50 m a la vuelta de la esquina si lo necesita). Solamente efectivo.

A must do every time I visit London over the last 30 years. Very basic. The food is still very good. Can benefit from a few changes. It's a cash only place but the value for money is very good. Lamb Kabab and Kagan Sultani are probably the best on the menu. The freshly baked bread is also very good.

Comida consistente, cada vez que voy a Londres, este es literalmente el único lugar al que voy a comer, a todos mis amigos les encanta, a mi esposa le encanta y también entretenía a muchos invitados. El menú no es muy selectivo pero muy básico, sin embargo, la comida que sirven es puntual y sabe muy auténtico. La selección de bebidas y salsa también es básica. La desventaja es que los asientos son muy estrechos y no son espaciosos, definitivamente no es un ambiente familiar y algunos de los camareros son ignorantes para entender que no quieres hombres aleatorios sentados literalmente cuerpo a cuerpo tocando a tu esposa, por lo que es posible que tengas que esperar también. Si buscas comodidad, este no es tu lugar, pero si buscas un kofta de Oriente Medio decente, es tu lugar.

Porzioni abbondanti e piatti buoni. Prezzi abbordabili ma si paga solo in contanti. Atmosfera da taverna persiana. Cibo buono ma molto pesante.
