Sima’s Persian Grill in Barnet

Been here a few times. Service is always great, very friendly. The minced lamb is so flavorful and tasty. Same thing with the Mast-o Musir. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely meal here - delicious food, great service and lovely ambience!

Excellent food - the service was also wonderful. Mohadeseh was is a gem :)

When we arrived in the afternoon the resturant empty ,the waiter somehow so sure of himself welcomed us coldly and said we are fully booked and offered us worst table next to front window which I refused so they offered us a different and later on we saw that only two table was booked for two couples, you have to struggle to get the waiter attention as we were on the corner . When they brought my food which was kebab with Nan , I was very disappointed to see that a small bread (nan) with given and it was old and cold You get 3 of them fresh from Kordish guy across the road So I had to eat kebab on its own I thought about complaining but I realized these waiters are not going to listen but decided to not going there again , we had a booking for 5 for a week after for birthday which I cancelled I do not recommend going there .

Lovely food. Amazing staff. Gladly recommended.

The best experience we ever had in an restaurant! Food was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a very good service , everything was at superlative! My son also enjoyed the food.I truly recommend ! We will sure coming back !Thank you so much

I loved the food and service! Considering I was only looking for a takeaway, I did not expect to be offered Persian tea while I waited and have one of the best takeaways I have had in years. I will be returning to have dinner here and to try other dishes on the menu. Thank you for your hospitality!

Excellent food and service. The Ash-e-Reshte and mixed grills were delightful.

Everything was fine. A few hours with friends in a Persian atmosphere. I advise you to book

Fantastic restaurant in UK, services are perfect a every things clean. The staffs are so kind 😇 Absolutely recommend them 👌

Nice food, amazing friendly service.

The food was really delicious, and the workers were so nice. The songs the out on were very calming. I really liked the ice cream faloodeh.

Amaaaaazing food and portion sizessss!!!

The food was not of good quality at all, no one was responsive at all, and hair came out of the food.

A popular Persian restaurant. I went to lunch with my daughter and her husband. It's often full at night, so it's hard to get in.

We had a order for 110 people for our Nowrouz event. Everything was done very smoothly and the quality of food and service absolutely amazing

Best Jooje kabab I have ever had, very tasty food and great atmosphere

I had a great experience at this Persian restaurant! To my surprise, the food came really fast. I tried the Kubideh kebab and Chenjeh kebab, and both were absolutely delicious—but I especially recommend the Chenjeh kebab, which was perfectly tender and full of flavour. I also had Doogh with my meal, which was refreshing and paired really well with the food. The service was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout. Although the space isn’t very large, the atmosphere is calm, cozy, and relaxing, making it a very pleasant place to enjoy a meal. A lovely extra touch is that with any dish that comes with rice, they include a piece of tahchin on the side, which was also very tasty. If you’re a fan of Persian food—or if you’ve never tried it before and want something authentic—I definitely recommend giving this place a visit!

I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at this gem of a restaurant, and I must say if you’re a fan of Iranian cuisine, or even just curious to explore it, this place is a must-visit. The star of the show Without a doubt, the kebab koobideh. Tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, the koobideh here is a symphony of flavors. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich with the savory depth of well-marinated ground meat, delicately spiced and grilled to perfection. It’s served alongside fluffy saffron-infused rice and chargrilled tomatoes that add a sweet, smoky balance to the dish. The aroma alone was enough to transport me straight to a bustling bazaar in Tehran. What really sets this restaurant apart is the authenticity. Every detail from the tahdig (crispy rice) to the freshly baked bread shows a deep love and respect for Iranian culinary tradition. The warm hospitality and cozy ambiance made the whole experience even more memorable. If you’re looking for a meal that feeds both the body and the soul, don’t miss the food at Simas Grill. It’s more than just food, it’s a cultural experience on a plate.

It was amazing and yummy Their stuff are friendly and service perfect and beautiful place as well than I recommend

It my first preferred option if I want to eat delicious Iranian foods, I definitely recommend it!

They charge too much for deserts and also service charges. Kebab koobideh, not the best. Floor staff were nice though. Overall, This restaurant used to be better when it was Behesht Barin.

Very good food and excellent service. Was welcomed with excellent hospitality and enjoyed the food

10/10 service and food was exceptional from start to finish food quality was stunning

This is the one of the best meats I've ever had. We ordered the mixed grill for 2 and had to take some home. The chicken breast was the best for me but everything was delicious next level! The hummus was also very good and the bread sooo fresh! The waiter was super nice always! The place is small so prepare to wait or make a reservation!

Thank you to Sourir, Sepehr and the team at Sima's for making our family's nikkah celebration lunch unforgettable! The reviews on Google were extremely positive and our Iranian friends had said Sima's was one of the best and they weren't wrong! Sourir was prompt and obliging even on her days off with providing booking information and arranging a menu which catered to multiple dietary requirements. The decor was elegant and stylish although we did find the narrow seating a little cramp at times! The set menu offered to us was delicious from beginning to end with very generous portions. The only feedback I would give is the clearing between courses felt a little rushed at times and a lot of our drinks were removed before we could finish them. Regardless, would highly recommend Sima's for any occasion and we will be sure to return!

Amazing food and great service.

Fresh, vibrant, and delicious! Every dish felt like it was made with care. The jackfruit tacos were a standout, and the smoothies were packed with flavor. Loved the cozy decor and friendly staff. A must-visit if you’re looking for healthy, plant-based options that don’t compromise on taste.

Sima’s Grill is a true gem! Delicious, authentic Persian food full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked dishes. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!

Had such a great night here with my friend! The atmosphere was super warm and full of good energy. The staff were really welcoming and made us feel right at home. I especially want to mention Sepehr—he was so helpful and genuinely kind the whole night. I asked Sepehr to surprise us with a cocktail of his choice, and he absolutely nailed it. It was so delicious—perfectly .He added something special to the whole experience . I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing experience and amazing food The portions are so big you can simply share and try koobideg and Baghali polo for shure

I recently dined at Simasgrill and had an amazing experience! I ordered the Kebab Momtaz, which includes a skewer of chargrilled marinated boneless chicken and a skewer of chargrilled minced lamb. Both were cooked to perfection juicy, flavorful, and full of authentic taste… I’ll definitely be back!

Delicious food, friendly staff. Had a lovely Al fresco dinner

It was a great service by Siroos khan and other staff. Very good quality food.

Very delicious and fresh food mostly Kababs. Love it

Food and service is best compared to other persian restaurants in that area. Wish they were not as busy do that I could go there when I fancy their delicious food. Well done.

Perfect Persians cuisines, good quality,lovely staff . Don't forget to reserve before you go

Prices increased by 3-4£ per dish in just one year?!

The barg kebab had really bad smell, fesenjoon was absolutely random. I had meal here when they started and it was really good but now they are going down the hill.

Absolutely phenomenal shishlik kebab! The lamb was perfectly tender, bursting with smoky, tangy flavors from the marinade. Each bite was a delight. The presentation was vibrant, and the service was impeccable—such a warm, authentic experience! Highly recommend this dish and can’t wait to return for more. A true 5-star meal

Wonderful evening in a wonderful place. Lovely staff and food. Thanks Sepehr for your kind assistance.

Everything is lovely. The food is very tasty and the place is extremely clean. I definitely recommend to everyone.

This Persian restaurant is one the best in London I really enjoyed the meal I’ve had there and the hospitality was amazing. Highly recommended

Really Great! The staff is kind and very welcoming. Great food, big portions and good prices. Also a beautiful and very clean bathroom.

Great service. Sirius gave us a warm welcome and hustet with ambitious hospitality. Food was extremely delicious. Big portions. All fresh. Felt like eating at a friend's house with amazing cooking abilities.

Thank you for your excellent service and amazing food, as well as the good manners of Maryam and Elaheh 👍🏻

Excellent food, big portions, delicious 😋

What an amazing place! One of the best Iranian restaurants I went. Food was fresh and tasty. Very friendly and respectful. Loved it and will definitely go there again x

Excellent place and food! Fantastic persian restaurant!

i had an incredible dining experience at Sima Grill, i ordered the ribeye steak, paneer sabzi, and king prawns and every dish was absolutely perfect. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavor. the king prawns were some of the best I’ve ever had – fresh, succulent, and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations.

Probably one of the best restaurants i have been to. Really impressed with the food and service was even better

Great quality, nice staff, definitely recommend everyone to try!

What a fantastic venue. Wonderful food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. First time customers, but will be revisiting again in the near future.

Shocking customer service, We asked to put the air conditioner off And surprised with their behaviour. Never back again

The best Iranian food I’ve had in London

Variety of great food in a friendly atmosphere with great service. Highly recommended 👌

Everything is 5 star 100% you will enjoy everything

First time visit upon recommendation. Very nice décor and atmosphere. Very clean and particularly warm and friendly staff. Wonderful menu with huge portions and a nice change from the amount of Turkish restaurants locally. Would definitely visit again, as lot's of new items on the menu I would like to try.

Delicious food and great service.

Fantastic food and great service highly recommend!

Came with the girls. Beautiful food. Great service. Would highly recommend. Especially the jewelled rice and grill. Thank you Sirous for helping us choose. They were perfect choices.

Thanks for making my birthday special. Very kind and helpful staff. Delicious and tasty Persian cuisine.

Everything was very good And fresh thank you

Great Persian food and excellent service.

Sima’s Persian Grill is a hidden gem! Delicious, authentic Persian food, generous portions, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend the koobideh and saffron chicken. We’ll definitely be back!

An absolutely amazing meal, served and presented with love and staff who will go the extra mile

Wonderful experience. Fantastic food attentive service would highly recommend.

Great food, brilliant friendly service and reasonably priced. Will come again. Thank you so much.

Best Persian restaurant i’ve ever been.

Good Food, menu could be bigger and with more healthy traditional food and variety. Too many restaurants in Finchley Central offer similar, limited and unchanging menus, hence so many locals don’t really go out locally. Also, it would be better, and I would be happy to pay the price increase if they cooked with olive oil instead of unnamed vegetable oil. Olive oil always tastes better. Lovely space and people - so friendly. Unfortunately, they have a paraffin flame going inside by the front door which looks nice and warms the room but makes it smell of paraffin - not good for someone with a good nose and sensitive lungs- especially asthma. Therefore, I will wait until the summer to go back.

Absolutely amazing! One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavor — you can truly taste the love in every bite. The atmosphere is warm, energetic, and welcoming, and the staff are super kind and professional. But the real magic comes from Chef Sima ❤️herself — a truly lovely woman and one of the best chefs I’ve ever met. She cares deeply about quality and makes sure every dish is perfect. Her passion and warmth shine through everything in this place. Five stars aren’t enough — I’d give ten if I could!

Excellent service , amazing view and decoration inside the restaurant.

Real Persian taste, delusions food, great service and good ambience. Recommend to whom looking for a real Persian food.

Very good food and decent service. We server was very nice too. Highly recommend this place and will come back next time we visit London.

After reading all the positive reviews, what a letdown this place was! Persian cuisine has always been one of my favourites, and I've never had a bad Persian meal... until today. The litmus test of an Iranian restaurant is their koobideh and I'm afraid this was the worst I've ever eaten - the flavour was completely off and the meat sat heavy on the stomach. The service was also inattentive. To add insult to injury they overcharged us but when we pointed this out they hastily amended the bill. I will not be returning.

As usual excellent food and ambience..amazing food.

Amazing food 100% recommend , thankyou Shahin for taking care of us !

I recently dined at Simas’s Grill, this Persian restaurant in London, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, rich in flavours, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted fresh and authentic, with a great balance of spices that made each bite a delight. I defenestrate recommend to you all .

Amazing. Amazing amazing Love the food The staff And the ambience of the restaurant Will definitely recommend and come back

Shahin was amazing, excellent food great service!

Very amazing service by Lili!!!

Here the quality of food is outstanding! The best koobide I have had in London for a long time!! Starters were also great and the staff are extremely polite, efficient and friendly. The seating, light and level and type of music was also very pleasant. Can't fault anything! Outstanding restaurant!! Wish we lived closer to this restaurant.

The food is amazing and so delicious it reminds me of some the best restaurants I have ever been. I totally recommend this place to everyone. Ali

Lovely atmosphere with lovely and polite staff. Food is class ! Highly recommend it. Mr Sirous and Sepehr have been outstanding

Every things was perfect! Food, appetizer, kabab, nice place and stuffs!

AMAZING food! The meat is so juicy and melts in your mouth. Ordered a mixed grill for 2 and it came with two good portion sides Ordered the rice and chips! The fries were also great!

A very pleasant experience, exceptional food, one of the best Iranian restaurants I have ever been to! The perfect service in a very elegant and cozy atmosphere⭐️

Great restaurant and food and value for money

An absolutely fantastic dining experience! The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and professional. The food was beyond amazing, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every detail, from the ambiance to the presentation, was flawless. I can’t recommend this place highly enough—truly a gem!

Fantastic Persian restaurant, food and atmosphere. Special thanks to Sepehr he was very welcoming and gave us the best service.

Amazing food. Excellent service. Special thanks to Sepehr for looking after us.

The best Iranian restaurant in London with good and excellent service and excellent and patient staff.

I reserved a table here for Valentine’s Day and was very disappointed by how poor the coordination was with the service and the food! Especially when this place has been rated 4.8 stars out of 5. I can’t comprehend how. Firstly, we weren’t acknowledged by the door upon arrival, only when we stared to look around uncomfortably. The restaurant is tiny and the spaces between each table was insanely small and crowded (not sure how this is acceptable with health and safety rules). There was an issue with the booking name, whereby I had to show my phone history to evidence that I had called restaurant and booked the table! The guy I spoke with simply misspelled my name and took it down incorrectly which already wasn’t a great start! We were offered a table for two, right underneath the bar (yes underneath the bar) where the staff put plates, take away boxes and collect drinks. All of this was level with our heads and as you can imagine it was very disturbing each time a waiter took a plate, a drink or a take away box! We initially asked for a better seat and were declined. Even though a couple next to us which was seated at a six seater table, was reseated to a two sets of two seater tables next to each other and we were told “this table is booked for 4”. Later down the evening, we quickly learned that it wasn’t! At this point both me and my partner had thoughts to leave altogether… We ordered calamari and hummus for starters and didn’t have any issues with it as such. Only pointer for calamari that there were 5 pieces for £9.99…a little over priced for the portion in my opinion. Please see picture for reference. For the main, I ordered sea bass with mash and my partner went for Kebab Makhsoos. Apart from the fact that seabass was full of bones (didn’t expect from such restaurant) and barely salted. My partner had the worse end of it, his kebab was pink! From my understanding the meat should be well done? And no salt too. The mince lamb kebab tasted more of onions than the meat and again no salt. All in all, we rushed out quickly and were extremely disappointed with the whole experience. Will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone! Avoid!!!

Had the most amazing time at Simas Grill. The service, food and atmosphere was brilliant. I had the Jojeh kebab and it was very tender and well marinated. My friend had Barg, it was really well cooked and tasty. We had one Ghormeh Sabzi to share. The staff are so friendly and went out if their way to look after us. Definitely going back and will recommend to anyone as very good value for money ! ;-)

The food is incredible and the service is exceptional - the staff couldn’t be nicer or more hospitable.

Cons: Joojeh kebabs are totally undercooked and dangerous. Same goes with kebab barg and Chengeh. Even when ask to Cook them more still pink inside. Kebab Barg was rough and chewy. Exactly what shouldn’t be. I like the very soft music which is not loud and make you relax when eating. The food is delicious And hot, even undercooked! At least 20% more expensive than most Persian restaurants in London, which is annoying and not worth it. Drinks are very expensive and they charge you 10% of service charge Whether you like to pay or not. That’s cheeky and people should have the choice If you’re not happy with the service Or food you should not pay service charge. But you do not have a choice in hear. The restaurant is cold when door gets opened and is uncomfortable. Twice I have been there and the staff were ill and they admitted it themselves but still had come to work, touched the cutlery and bring their food and get within 20 cm from customers !! That is unprofessional and unfair to customers. They should stay at home if Unwell. It is A small restaurant And highly likely to pass it on to other people. Parking is difficult. Pos: Staff are professional and provide good service. The food is in large portions and well presented. Food are tasty but there are problems as mentioned. .
