Persian Paradise in Southampton

I had one of the best chicken kebabs in Southampton and chicken soup 😋😋😋 Friendly and cozy Thanks

I really liked and would take my friends there.

Delicious, generous meal size, fairly priced, highly recommended.

Good Persian food and good service.

Family-run gem that beautifully brings the rich history of Persia to life with warm, welcoming atmosphere. The decor is thoughtfully designed reflecting Persian heritage. The food is the real star. The special mixed grill was outstanding—grilled to perfection. The portion sizes was good. The service was remarkable—attentive, friendly, and efficient.

Fantastic kebab koobideh! Tea is to die for! Generous portion sizes, comes with a nice salad and rice. Great value too. They had some nice music in the background as well

Having enjoyed the food from Persian Paradise on numerous occasions previously, we ordered for a big family event. The food was very flavourful and moist, and we received multiple compliments on our choice for catering! Thank you so much to brother Hemn and your team for the great service!

Amazing authentic Persian food with great service and a nice family feel.

Good to go for some persian ! Nice experience! Little expensive but you ll like it

The place is more than perfect. During our visit it was so good and we even forgot to take a photo. Very kind and hospitality service is a plus.

Delicious Iranian food, genius portions, friendly staff and lovely authentic atmosphere.more than happy with everything. You won’t regret it.

Food very good I feel value for money

Cualquiera que desee experimentar la increíble cocina persa y un excelente servicio, debe probar el paraíso persa. La hospitalidad en su mejor momento y una cálida bienvenida le espera.

We loved the food so much! Must try place! Great service too..

Just brilliant 👌🏼👌🏼 best Persian food in town 😍👌🏼

Amazing food, authentic Persian favourites! Very friendly and great service. I thoroughly recommend 😊

The best in Southampton. Definitely I recommend

We have been coming here for years. The food has always been perfection.

The best Persian food you can get in Southampton.

A lovely, family run Persian restaurant serving authentic Persian food. Had chicken with Barbary rice and mixed grill with rice and salad. Enjoyed everything.

This place is an absolute treasure! The food here is exceptionally high quality—fresh, delicious, and served in generous portions. Beyond the wonderful meals, the staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. It’s a charming, family-run establishment that truly feels like home. I can't wait to return on my next visit to Southampton!

Recently I had two dinners here and food was delicious. The best lamb in Southampton 😋

The kabab was really good and so was the rice I’m definitely coming here again

Definitely recommend it as the quality of the food was perfect and the price was good . I also loved the atmosphere and their customer service.

We came from Bristol to visit my brother in Southampton and they recommended us this restaurant. We loved the food ( quality of food) ,atmosphere and customer service . The price was fair. We will definitely come back .

The food was OK,but I wasn't happy with the,service and they made me feel uncomfortable, therefore I didn't enjoy my lunch, I would prefer dine somewhere else,too many nice places with good food out there!they ruined my lunch!when we arrived the restaurant was empty and the waitress asked us to sit on a particular table,then we were interrupted to change the table to allow other people to take our table and put us in a corner table while celebrating mother's day..we got so upset to the point we left our drinks that we were waiting for and paid for.the behavior of the waitress was not nice and not professional and unorganised, they could have waited till we finished our drink at least.no other restaurant does such a thing!!!and for what ?to serve other customers on other customers expenses!my advice is ,don't ruin your day out and go there,avoid it,rather go to any restaurant apart of them..bad management and bad treatment to customers.

I was celebrating my wife's special Birthday, so I arranged for balloons and banners to be delivered. I had requested them to help set it up and wow, they did an amazing job. My wife loved the surprise but the piece-de-resistance was that the food was amazing. I wish the family who run this business all the very best. Thank you for all your support. Very best wishes.

I travelled from Portsmouth to go to Southampton, to the best Iranian restaurant in the area.

Everything is good I suggest it strongly

Exceptional. Lamb chops are 10/10 perfection. Koobideh is the best I have eaten outside London, but it's close to perfect, too. So moreish – a selection of grilled meats, salad and the incredible bread is maybe the best Persian meal you could ever have, and this is where you should get it from. No other Persian restaurant in the area comes close.

I visited Persian Paradise last weekend with my friends. I ordered kabab soltani, and while the rice was lovely, the kebab arrived super cold and not juicy. The diced kebab was overly marinated with black pepper, which I personally don't enjoy. Additionally, my friend asked for extra butter, a usual complimentary in Iranian restaurants, but we were charged £2 for the 2 small amount provided. This experience with the food was disappointing, and it has discouraged me from returning.

Fantastic food and affordable prices, Persian Paradise has created a welcoming ambiance that invites guests to linger and savor the moment. The cozy décor, soft lighting, and traditional Persian music create an atmosphere that adds to the overall charm of the place.

Really nice place thank you for the food and service loved it

We went for dinner last Sunday and were very happy with the food. Their Masto musir was very tasty and both joojeh kabab and chenjeh were very nice. Also the portions were really generous. Our rice came quite cold but they warmed it up for us and there was plenty of it. They dont have their own oven for bread and next time we go I will ask for the bread to be toasted and also their tomatoes to be cooked more. The prices are very reasonable and overall we were very happy with our visit.

Best Kebab restaurant in Southampton. The food was fresh and delicious! Excellent food.

Persian Paradise is a total win! The food is fantastic, with flavors that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. The atmosphere is super chill, making it a perfect spot to hang out and enjoy some awesome Persian cuisine. Thumbs up all the way! 🌟

5* food and service. We loved it and will visit again when we come to Southampton. Thank you

Excellent in every aspect! Tasty food, reasonably priced and kind people. The family friendly space and heartwarming meals make for a beautiful experience. The lamp shank is tender and served with a rice and a cup of sauce. The soup is a meal of itself and the spices on the lamp chops make it stand out from other similar dishes i have tried. I would come every day if possible. Do try the tea at the end of your meal for an extra nice treat.

I'm happy can't see amir.Lovely food, my congratulations to the Chef and the rest of the staff!

Excellent food and friendly staff. Very pleased. Thanks for the delicious food and good shisha

Thank you for the great food & service ممنون! 🙏 🌟

I had the best experience ever, The food, the owner and staff are fantastic. Everything is clean and sanitized. If you’re living in or visit Southampton definitely go and try their delicious foods.

the best dishes on the town i never seen like this restaurant is a new opportunity for enjoy the persian food thanks for everything

Impressively very high quality of food and service, man on the counter was very polite & well mannered. Delicious & great value of money food. I will highly recommend to give it a go.

Poor food hygiene. I got sick after eating kebabs.

Coming from Norway the best restaurant I tried in Southampton,The food was great and staff are very polite and helpful.

It was a nice food and good experience, overall all very good.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Persian Paradise Restaurant in Southampton! The ambiance was charming and inviting, setting the perfect mood for a wonderful meal. The grilled salmon fillet I ordered was an absolute masterpiece – perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The attentive staff made sure every aspect of my visit was exceptional. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. A true gem that brings a taste of paradise to Southampton!

I recently dined at Persian Paradise Restaurant in Southampton and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The mixed kabab dish I ordered was a delectable combination of flavors and textures that left me craving for more. The restaurant's warm and inviting atmosphere, coupled with the attentive staff, made the evening even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, I'll be returning to relish their wonderful cuisine again soon!

Wouldn’t be able to rate their food or service unfortunately as after booking a table the day before, when I arrived I was told they were full and didn’t have any reservation. How can someone answer the phone and verify my booking and not write it down? Surely this is basic to running a business! I was really looking forward to eating this lovely looking food as my husband is from Iran and we love the food. I was very disappointed and had to find somewhere else to eat instead. Would have gone back if the food was good but I’m not booking with them again.

Nice clean food. Great customer service. I highly recommend this place.

Freshly cooked food. The best experience ever! If you live in Southampton or nearby, this is the only Persian restaurant you should go to. The Koobideh and Chicken kebab was juicy, tasty and full of flavour! The rice was fluffy and delicious. The salad the dressing was spot on! Customer service was great. The portion size was very generous too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Totally amazing experience. AAA+++

Lovely tea, always fresh delicious meat👍🏻

Food was delicious. The chef produced a full BBQ meal with Lamb and Chicken, rice, bread and salad for 5 adults. Prepared in less than 30 minutes for takeaway at a cost of £70. Great portion size. Would highly recommend.

Food here is delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for something different. You can also order baqlawa with tea which i found very satisfying and tasty. Will definitely come back here again.

I'd recommend this place for a good chat with friends or families over some excellent grilled meat. My order was a big portion of grilled lamb chops, which came withj nice fries and salad. The staff was very friendly too.

Delicious food. Nice service and affordable prices.

Lovely fresh food, fantastic starters and also special dough tasted so fresh and heavenly 5 starts well deserved

It was nicee, but nothing compared to Luton’s kebabs 😮‍💨

The food is so delicious with high quality. Customer service is great, definitely recommend it.

Service was fantastic food was delicious and the staff were great, I really recommend as it is a great option for all families.

Delicious food 😋 and nice staff. Definitely recommend Persian Paradise Restaurant

The food is so delicious with high quality. The Iron and fresh juice was very nice. Very good customer care and brilliant atmosphere. Cosy and nice. Strongly recommend this place to try Iranian food. If in Southampton will go again definitely.

My first visit and it was amazing. The food was brilliant the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended. A++++

Lovely food sloshed down with a bottle of Buckfast. I was an animal that night.

The food is amazing and customer service is great. I would strongly recommend it to try Persian cuisine. Lamb shank is one of the many dishes that you need to try!

Visited as part of a work friends group on the recommendation of a colleague. The restaurant is relatively small, so booking advised, but it's worth it. Staff are hard working and friendly. The food is fantastic, with generous portion sizes. Would definitely visit again, highly recommended!

Great place, fantastic food and amazingly swift service.. highly recommended

Great quality chicken and kofte kebab

Food was good but there was only one person serving and this took a lot of time. need more people.

Very bad food, clean nice stuff

As always food was delicious and brilliant service.

Arranged a dinner for my sister's farewell party. Lovely place and very accommodating. The food was lovely and served hot. However they didn't make an error with one of my cousin food coming later and forgot her. However the lady serving was very apologetic and made sure she got it. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the food,left a nice tip for our service. We did understand it was busy with delivery. Xx

Food is rubbish , small portion not generous at All, گدا

Fabulous Persian food. Lovely service and atmosphere Highly recommended Does not serve alcohol, but the Persian black tea was delicious

Great customer service. Delicious food and great salad. Thanks for a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant.

Celebrated my Birthday at this resturant with my Wife.I never had Persian food before! Always wanted to try persion food.It was delicoius and would definitely go back for more. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

It was very amazing experience with Persian Paradise Restaurant We spent a lovely time there The service was 7 stars 🌟 The food was very tasty and delicious Nice Atmosphere, and it is valuable. Highly recommended

Worst kebab and chicken I have ever had. Kebab was white and the chicken in zeresh polo was absolutely under cooked. I will never waste my money there.

Delicious food!! Lamb, chicken and rice- Best I ve ever eaten! The staff was sooo helpful,friendly and polite! You can sit outside very easily (despite the cold weather) because of the heaters Definitely we will go again! Strongly recommended!!

Good Shipham. Behavioral friendly and Intimate & relaxing environment with Good Food quality .we enjoyed "

With little options during my stay in Southampton, this is one of the best around! Thank you

Very poor food quality. Very dry meat despite the fact that I specifically asked for juicy kebab. Pricy for small amount of yogurt! Very disappointed in total and will never order from them again. Waste of money.

As always a very friendly service, Food is always delicious and excellent and service is quick. I really love eating here and would recommend it.

Quality food, large portion and good price. Amir was fantastic host and I definitely recommend Persian Paradise in Southamoton. I believe that you can also take your favourite alcoholic drink with you as they serve only soft drink. We had a great birthday party and I recommend this place.

Very nice place with good food and service, shisha topped it off nicely

Lovely meal with the family and excellent customer service too! Food was delicious and of a very high quality too

Food was not fresh and very expensive

Quality wholesome food. £12 for the Special which consisted of Chicken shish and lamb kofte with a bed of rice and salad. Great value for money and tasted fresh and authentic. Rice was freshly cooked which made it light and fluffy. Kids meal which is half the price has one skewer of meat or chicken with rice and salad which is equally great value for money and was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids !

Had asked for delivery to arrive later, but came quicker, on this occasion did not matter though. Great food. Would love to see Bulgar added to menu, not just rice; and also to offer kanafeh as a dessert; then I would be a very happy man, probably ordering weekly!

Great food, service, and dine-in experience! We were treated with hospitality from the owner. Would definitely come back again.

We were visiting South Hampton and fancied something different. Went to this place and were not disappointed! Lovely food, ambiance and excellent customer service also child friendly! Will definitely visit again soon!

Meat dry, rice not the turkish ones.

On my never again list. Received wrong order. Called restaurant, they apologised, offered me to eat what I received and £10 off from next order which I declined as I wanted refund. Wrong order that I had to eat wasn't that nice. Meet was chewy, salmon was burned, chips were awful. Most of it ended up in the bin.

Excellent. Travelled from Tidworth to get it!
