Persian Delight in Newcastle upon Tyne

Best Persian restaurant in Newcastle.

Exquisite atmosphere and exceedingly benevolent staff. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely dreadful food. We’ve been coming here, on and off, for a number of years and the food has always been good. Today however, meat tough and weird tasting, parts not cooked. Bread was dry and flavourless, even though I know they cook this themselves. Will definitely not be returning. Appalling.

Authentic Persian food in reasonable price, verity of choices on the menu. Grills items is definitely recommended

This is a local foodie place it's recognised for its decent food and good service. It is very popular in the community. The meals are good portions and tasty.

Food quality is not bad. it authentic persian style kebabs, lamb shank was good. whatvi like is service, ELYAS served us with very politely, whatever we have asked he provides straight away with a smile Thank you so much brother. their sauces are good . prices are not bad street parking is available depending on how busy there are.

April 2024 - still the best. And if you're looking for some unusual items try the daily specials. Update may 2023. Still one of my favourite places for a good proper meal. Highly recommend. Great service and delicious food at this cafe style restaurant. You'll find authentic persian /iranian food and drink, and real hospitality. Don't be put off by the front of the restaurant with all the local iranian men watching football, the back of the restaurant is family friendly. Taste a real kebab here!

Food was amazing stuff so friendly and price is fantastic ! I recommend everyone has try the Persian diluted ! Thanks everyone I’m very enjoy 😘🙏

Food is amazing and the atmosphere and service is just 👌🏽👌🏽

Really tasty food, generous huge portions, authentic tasting, and great friendly service. We had mixed grill, aubergine dish, naan and was stuffed. Good value top

I’ve Been Coming Here Since I Was A Child And Still To This Day 10/10

Absolute rip off This few skewers on large bread is sold for £12. Not happy and tea is also very expensive.

I had a cup of tea and peace off cream rolette the cream rolette was really nice so I had tow light fluffy creamy yum the service is good staff a freindly they also got some Christmas decoration up nice cozy place chilled and relaxed one of the oldest Persian resturents

We were excited to try this place, but the three meat plate tasted like a generic kebab. Also, because the restaurant inside was very cold and the meat was on a metal tray, the food got cold really quickly. The staff were really nice though. We didn’t order naan, but they were huge as well.

If you want to know just how good persian food tastes, come here!

At 6pm on a Thursday night, this restaurant was already busy with families and couples and the atmosphere was really friendly and relaxed. Service was excellent and the food delicious with generous portions. We’ll definitely return asap. Highly recommended.

Highlight of a very rainy day, brilliant food and delicious tea, great friendly service and amazing value.

You don’t need to eat with your hands when eating Indian food... The skewers are okay... The set meal is just numb... Maybe I don’t know the local food... There should be some good wild food... The three people ate about 31 pounds... But when paying the bill, I paid 35 pounds in cash ... I wonder how many pounds I will get back... I know that the waiter seems to be acting like a fool... call it a day and leave... I don't know how many pounds more tips I have... ugh... points will be deducted...

Bad service, unfortunately, 4 employees focus on one customer and do not pay attention to the customer👎👎

It's one of my favourite places to eat .

Great food, with great service 😄 I took the Lamb Fillet 💯

Delicious food and everyone was very nice to our 1 year old son (who also loved the food).

Open till late night and fair price,

Proper family Persian cafe /restaurant. Vv clean ladies toilets. Lovely people. Had amazing marinated chicken skewer on naan and the Thursday special of lamb shank with incredible aromatic rice cooked with broad beans. Massive portions! Turkish tea, wld have been perfect with Turkish coffee too but not available. 100%recommend

Very pleased with this food and service from the staff.

£11:50 for 2 very thin slices of lamb and some rice. Bland taste and Most definitely the worst value meal iv seen terrible. We’ve been coming here for years and won’t be returning what a let down

I had Kubideh Kebab and Lamb hash in these. The quality and the taste of food were great and it was very satisfactory and delicious. The staff were very nice and the atmosphere was like nostalgic Iranian restaurants. While the menu was full of high quality Persian food, it would be great if we see some vegetarian options so we can bring our vegetarian friends!

Best economical, tasty and healthy food in the town!

Delicious food, reasonable price, friendly waitress.

I’m super strict on real food taste, this one is most delicious persian restaurant in all UK 😊🌹❤️ And prices are perfect. thanks to the chief 🌹

One of the best Iranian-Persian food in the northeast .definitely recommended

A bit more expensive, but still very nice.

One of my favourite places to eat in Newcastle

Good food but the staff was bullying the other one. Nipping and pinching him as he walked past. That really really annoyed me.

I just go in there for the tea mostly. But the food and the portions are 👌

Best restaurant in Newcastle for my money. Proper Persian people and good prices. I’ve been going since 2007

Love the food, very polite staff... Prices I think still the same.. Good food. Parking on the street

Amazing food and friendly people, great place!

Very good in price food is 5 stars always staff are friendly

I tried the 3 mix platter. All the kababs were very juicy and tasted great. The prices were definitely below average. The service here is lovely and the restaurant ambience is great. Wonderful persian artwork throughout!

Great place, lovely people, tasty food

What a great place! Good food, well prepared. Friendly staff and cool ambience. Great value for money. Thanks guys 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Zereshk pilau Ba Morgh زرشک پلو با مرغ خیلی بامزه

Very nice food would highly recommend

Amazing cultural gem in the heart of Newcastle. Good reputation and great customer care. Easy to access location. The downside: this was a highly recommend takeaway and restaurant. It maybe that a sit-in session would be better than a takeaway, but I was not impressed. The main gripe is the very burnt edges on the lamb cuts and tomatoes – see the pics **. The food was Persian? But it was nothing special. The parking – even if you are just visiting to pickup your order is a complete nightmare. I cannot recommend – based on the takeaways I ate.

Food is good here. Well priced. Quick service.

Food was fresh and tasty. Great flavours. Good portions.

Always the most beautiful delicious meals served

Excellent food, service and price.

Great Persian food, tasty and very quick service.

It's a good place for tasting Persian food with kind staff.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Plenty of seating at the back. Cards accepted. Friendly owner.

Authentic persian food. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended

Delicious food and decent staff

Lovely friendly atmosphere, authentic food at a good price.

Nice place, nice staff, great food.

Been using this eatery for years now since it first opened and have seen them upgrade kitchen, dining and toilet areas as business developed. Never had a bad meal, even the Grandchildren love visiting for their kebab rolls and rice. Visited today, just me and ‘er indoors. Food took 20mins to cook and, being takeaway only at the moment, they told me it would be this long so I could wait outside in my car. I had the mixed chicken and lamb kebab roll and ‘er indoors a single chicken tikka roll with rice together with a couple of cans of diet coke came to £12.20. The food was excellent, lovely fresh and tasty. Looking forward to my next visit already

One of best restaurants in Newcastle

Customer for a decade now and I currently go every few days, this should tell you enough. There are levels and this is off the charts!!! Ali the owner is top drawer and the lad's are class. Get some Persian tea in you whilst there. Bit sugar. Tremendous. Get there!

The minced lamb roll is excellent. Beautifully spiced and really really good value for money.

Perfekt...deliciu capriciu mancaruri alese

Foods very nice but terrible service no smiles or welcomes from the staff who look very hostile

Absolutely the most delicious food in Newcastle at an incredibly brilliant price

One of the hidden gems of Newcastle. Amazing persian dishes for fast food prices.

غذاش خوبه نسبت به قیمتش ولی محیطش مناسب حضور خانواده نیست یه سری همیشه علاف اونجا هستن وارد که میشی با چشای باباقوری نگات میکنن فحش خار مادر هم در جریانه همیشه در کل اگه مجرد هستید، به فوتبال علاقه دارید(معمولا پخش زنده دارن) دنبال غذای خوب، سریع و ارزون ایرانی هستید توصیه میشه

Food wasn’t bad , but certainly wasn’t anything special . It’s got its own market for cafe style Iranian food for people without understanding of real cooking .- Rice is bad , no tomato with koobideh , no sumac . Takeaway containers are wrong , rice is too much should be in no6 container and meat in circular ones Chicken is tasteless as is aubergine sides. Taste of Persia is the place to go for Iranian food unless your a taxi driver .

Good food and comfy to sit in and munch 👍😊

Absolutely delicious food!! Just had the best takeaway ever!!

Very good atmosphere, and food excellent

Ive been coming here for almost 15 years. I just got back to Newcastle and visited the restaurant last night - the bakhtiari kebab was as good as ever! Thank you Ali Kashi for keeping this flame of Persian food alive all this time!

Amazing food . Loved it . Cheap but top quality

Naughty scran! Be back soon you little beltas

Kebab as good as any you get in Iran only beaten by Deli John on the way to Esfahan

The food on the menu is always consistent and served fresh, piping hot &finger licking fab. The staff always greet you with a genuine smile and are very friendly. You have got to taste the dessert, Persian style cakes that are not too sweet just right for your palate. Service is second to none also. Every dish that I have tried, I have throughly savoured. Don't take my word for it, go and try it for your self. Peace to you.

lovely food, lovely owner and the food is high quality cheap eat . It also has take away. Very good portion.

Extremely tasty, affordable, great and fast service. As usual!

Best Persian restaurant in Newcastle.

very nice food at a reasonable price !

Take the bill as soon as you pay or they will charge you twice or no food. Talking out of personal experience!.

Delicious food and good service.

The long sheek kebabs are delicious with a grilled tomatoe, fresh bread and some salad. Yum

I love the food. It's super delicious. And the staff is very friendly.

Been doing for years it's just too good

Excellent and tasty Persian food for cheap! Everything you find in Iran is delivered to your table with the best quality.

Fantastic Persian food for cheap :)

We really enjoyed hot food and taste and tea. Atmosphere good

I am not sure what on earth anyone could complain about-- this place is incredible.... Such authentic food. makes me feel I am back in Tehran.

Outstanding as always. Tasty Persian food.

Fantastic. Great manager. Nice staff

Superb food, very friendly staff and very reasonably priced

Not as good as before but still ok

Authentic taste of Persian cuisine.

Delicious food and great service. Served always fresh healthy and hot.

Ok, nice n clean slightly over priced n food just average.

I went in the other day to order a chicken shwarma, too my suprise it looked amazing, but when i took one bite, i knew i made a mistake ordering it, it was way to salty that i thought i had been dropped into the atlantic ocean, and if the salt wasnt there, i wouldve thought the chicken was rolled in coal with how charred it was.

It is very nice restaurant, very clean, the staff are excellent, the food is authentic, reasonably priced. Well recommended

Good and delicious food, friendly and helpful staff and reasonable price, definitely recommend it. ☺️☺️☺️

Fresh and delicious Persian food.

Good place for persian food, we had zereshk polo last night. Really tasty 👌 always quick and friendly service.

Tasty food in a relaxed casual environment. Parking can be tricky at times as it's opposite the busiest fruit and veg stall in Newcastle but the food is great and they've the service to match.
