Persian Palace in Reading

Amazing food and wonderful service

Best place for Persian food in Reading and near London

Great evening at the Persian restaurant having generous portions of food. They were especially generous with the rice! The staff were friendly and provided an excellent service.

Very good Persian specialty restaurant ideally located by the river with a beautiful terrace and very good service.

had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend!

AVOID THIS PLACE, WORST FOOD EVER I have been to persian Palace, which is based in Ealing. Food there is good, not a great view, but I have never experienced bad food. But this branch amazing view but the food was awful, it was the worst I have ever had. I have raised a complaint but I was told, they don't understand why I am complaining as the meet arrived yesterday. I am persian myself and I am not new to what I order. The meet was old, rice was cold and the manager did not care about the complaint. I was charged for the food that I couldn't eat. I have to say it's not cheap and what made me really upset was the fact that they don't care about their customers satisfaction and they completely dismissed me. I will never visit again or recommend this place to anyone.

The staff spoke with so much respect and the food was amazing. The scenery around was spectacular.

If I could give 10 stars I would without a doubt. I've been going to this place for years and not once been disappointed. The customer service is amazing and the food is excellent. If you are looking for a place to dine in then this is the place. Absolutely great 👍 Nahid, Parya and Ali... These hard working people as a team made my dining experience feel like heaven. Always assisted me when I requested for something. A great place for birthdays and special occasions. Definitely recommend coming here.

Gorgeous food and great service in a lovely location :) would definitely recommend!!

We came to this restaurant after New Years, a group of 8. The service was outstanding and the team as a whole are so attentive and welcoming. The food quality was excellent, thank you to the chefs. The man that was making the fresh bread was amazing also, and our female server gave perfect service. We highly recommend this branch and can’t wait to come back. Thank you to all staff.

Highly recommended when visiting reading

-Place is very beautiful, specifically down stairs. -Toilets are very well cleaned. -Staff are unbelievably friendly,well mannered and helpful.

We booked the table for a group of 7 and upon arrival were nicely welcomed, the food was a mixture of starters (full starter platter) with bread and the mains were a mixture of kebabs, bread and rice etc . Great decor, location next to a nice view of the river - Everything was perfect.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Meat is cooked perfect with great flavour. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful

Fantastic food, warm and welcoming staff

My first Persian food experience! It was delicious 😋😋 Momtaz 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Always good place to have a family get together👌👆✌️beautiful place on the river bank to enjoy the wonderful Turkish food ❤️

Wonderful food and lovely atmosphere. The joojeh kabeb, mirza ghasemi and baklava were all delicious. And the staff were all very attentive and efficient. A great place to go for a family meal!

Excellent service, lovely place with great food and friendly staff,highly recommended

Delicious food, didn’t go hungry!

Perfect food and service as always. Thank you and we will be back very soon

Very nice food, very polite staff, excellent place. Will definitely visit again. Thank you Usmaan & Grandad

Delicious food and great service!

Shame , The low class and low quality persian foods presented in this restaurant , We ordered mirza ghasemi and kask o bademjan for starter , and Kebab soltani fir main and tea and bawlava for desert , bread was not fresh as expected, dish of kebab not presented as a high quality that expected of a persian dish , the quality were horrible , the taste of koobideh was horrible , no sides included , as it is expected , they charged for the primary sides that should be included in a kebab plate , I honestly can’t offer it to any other friends to let them taste persian foods. You can compare kebabs with any other Iranian Restaurant in London ( quality, presentation, and price) , and also you can compare it with the food quality , presentation and specially price in any Turkish restaurants like Yapark in woolley( Chef is Iranian)

Best persian restaurant with the best service!

A lovely restaurant beside Thames river. Good food Good service Good taste 1000% you must love this

amazing place ,staff are amamzing and so sweet

The food is amazing, I plenty recommend going for food there

Excellent food and service, next to Thames. However, I was expecting Persian decor!

I love this restaurant,I always come here with kids and also bring my siblings and guests

The team at Persian Palace gave us an excellent experience when having dinner with family who were visiting the UK. They were very attentive and when we wanted to have our dessert, they moved us to a different table that was more cosy for tea and conversation. They also showed us the newly renovated downstairs area (terrace) and we already have some ideas for hosting private events. All in all, a fantastic evening and thank you to the team for their service

it was very good and clean service was quick aswell.☺️

Lovely restaurant and amazing food!

Walking back into The Persian Palace after few years was like stepping into a beautiful memory. I was welcomed so warmly by the new manager and the amazing staff that I instantly felt at home again. The hospitality, the food, and the atmosphere are exceptional, and it’s clear that Bijan would be happy to see how much his beloved restaurant is thriving. If you’re looking for a place that feels like family while delivering unforgettable moments and memories, Persian Palace is the perfect choice. Highly recommend! - Bijan’s Family

Perfect atmosphere, delicious food, quality service with smile highly recommended

As usual, great food and great service.

This place is definitely worth visiting for its stunning location and breathtaking views. The portions are generous, the food quality is excellent, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely I will visit it again.

An excellent restaurant for barbecue, their specialty is excellent

Staff were very friendly, and the food tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious baghalipolo with lamb I have had in this restaurant 🤩 Every single item was amazing And I’ll recommend persian palace to all my friends 😋

Perfect design, terrace, hospitality, food, etc. I will recommend here to everyone. 🙏🌹

It was a lovely experience! Food was excellent 👌🏾 will be back again soon!

This is an absolute hidden gem of Caversham. If you have the opportunity to go, then do because the food is amazing. The service is friendly and fun and cater for all needs. We sat on the special Persian rug area with pillows where my little one could relax and enjoy without being restricted to a chair. They celebrated my father in laws birthday with short notice and played music accompanied by ice cream and a candle. Their meat is so tender, I have never eaten a softer kofta or more flavoursome piece of chicken. Great spot to try if you're in the area!

Menu is very little,Apply 10% forced service charges.taste of the food was good and so is the service of the staff !

The atmosphere was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We especially enjoyed the Kashke Bademjan and Koobideh—both were perfect!

Staff member who looked after was brilliant, she took really good care of us.

If you want to have a taste of authentic persian food you should definitely try their koobideh and zereshkpolo! Don't forget to order tea and baghlava in the end to compliment the experience!

We had a warm welcoming and great experience with a group of friends for early Yalda Night celebration privately in the basement room. Staff were professional, polite, attentive, friendly and the service was on time. Foods are delicious and Kebabs plate are massive. I would recommend it to new visitors. One thing I would like to recommend is to add more varieties of desserts. I tried blueberry Mocktail which was delicious. Thanks to Miss Nahid and the other staff.

Nice place, kind staff and delicious food

I absolutely loved the food here, Authentic cuisine and they have been amazingly hospitable, I'm looking forward to coming here again soon! 10/10

Great food, had a lovely lunch with my friends!

Very beautiful experience,the staff were lovely,I will definitely come back here again with my family.

Food was incredible!The selection was great and amazing customer service.

Excellent friendly and polite staff

The place is really amazing The restaurant is very clean The food is delicious I recommend visiting it

Nice environment with good view of the river. Wide range of food for vegetarians. The vegetable soup was great. We had chicken and mince kebab. They were also good. The rice an bread are very good. Suitable for families. Service could be better.

Booked in for Christmas work lunch for 10 people. Lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor. Good service, massive portion sizes and delicious food.

Absolutely delicious food, lovely friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend

Large portions and flavoursome!

Excellent food and service,lovely atmosphere

We had a fantastic experience. The restaurant has very good environment. Food had very good quality and everyone is very welcoming.

Amazing authentic Persian food, the pilaf (no.32) highly recommended. The only issue: parking.

I recently visited Persian Palace and was impressed by the flavorful kobeda kebab. The food was delicious, but the service was a major letdown. We were seated at an awkward table, despite the restaurant being nearly empty, and the staff refused to move us. The floor manager, with a bob haircut, was unwelcoming and grumpy. When I thanked her as she brought our food, she didn’t acknowledge me. The food alone is worth trying, but the poor service has deterred me from returning. If you visit, takeout might be a better option.

Amazing place. Food is extraordinary and I tried one of the best desert of my life (Baklava)

W food big dubs W vibes W shidha

Undoubtedly one of the best Persian restaurant in the UK

Best food with amazing services and lovely food The best thing from this restaurant is that every time you go there you have fun and it feels like home so I hope lots of joys for everyone that comes here

Lovely food and great service as always.

Beautiful setting, excellent food and service, friendly staff

Lovely restaurant, delicious food, perfect service, and polite, friendly staff.

One of the Best Persian restaurant in UK Im a food lover and seriously one of the best food atmosphere and service. One of the best restaurants in Britain, especially Iranian food

Fantastic place within a great setting. The atmosphere is wonderful and the decor is very inviting and modern with a twist of Persia. The food is amazing, the best Koobideh kebabs, very soft and succulent. And the rice with the barberries is a must. We frequent here often when in Reading and love this place. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable. They are patient and friendly

Restaurant staff were gracious, courteous, and excellently trained. The food was well-executed but lacked flavour – I put this down to philosophical differences between the chef and the diner.

Very nice food. Best hummus I've had in a long time

Good food, good portions, good service. Would recommend!

The best Iranian Restaurant chain. This one is especially good for service and the beautiful river views! Great party area downstairs!

Good food, large service of main. Side dishes are significantly small however, and after adding service charge to the bill, the waitress again pointed to the optional service charges, which I thought was slightly deceptive.

Beautiful place to dine in. Lovely staff and delicious food. Impressive portions.

Nice food, the dishes we had were very meat heavy which we all enjoyed but may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Fantastic food and shisha and drink

Food is so delicious and authentic. We were here for birthday celebration, and we had really great time and it met our expectations. Really great hospitality and also nice ambiance. Definitely recommend this place.

Lovely food and great portion sizes

Amazing food and amazing service

The second time I have been here and really lovely food

Fantastic place, great food and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Fabulous place with great staff who are only too happy to help. Food is absolutely divine too.

really good staff and the food wait wasn’t very long (we ordered most of the menu with 5 people and it came in 10 mins) would recommend if you want to go out to eat 🍔😄🌅

Perfect food love their kobedah kebab and mumtaz

Such a hidden gem in Reading!! Amazing foot quality. Staff are welcoming and friendly.
