Sima’s Persian Grill in Barnet

Everything was very good And fresh thank you

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!

Wonderful experience. Fantastic food attentive service would highly recommend.

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

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

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!

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

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

The food was delicious, atmosphere was friendly and the staff were really helpful:)

First time trying for persian food. Delicious food and friendly staff. Very nice!

Warm and welcoming restaurant with exquisite menu .we have a great experience every time .

Such a great experience in a lovely atmosphere, highly recommend to all food lovers🥰 a mix of joy and pleasure ❤️ lovely staff with warm smiles☺️

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!

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

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

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

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

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!!!

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. .

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 ! ;-)

Fantastic service, experience and high quality food!

Delicious food and brilliant service. The best Persian restaurant so far. Thank you Sima’s Grill

I’ve been a loyal customer of Sima Grill since 2021, and it has consistently been one of my favorite places to dine. The food here is nothing short of amazing – always fresh, full of flavor, and prepared with such attention to detail. Every dish I’ve tried has been fantastic, and you can tell how much care goes into crafting their menu. What truly sets Sima Grill apart, though, is the incredible team. The staff are always so kind, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit a wonderful experience. They genuinely care about their customers and go out of their way to make you feel at home. I also have to give a huge shoutout to the owner, who is such a friendly and gracious person. Their dedication to both the food and the atmosphere really shines through, and it’s clear they pour their heart into this place. After all these years, Sima Grill continues to exceed my expectations. If you’re looking for delicious food and top-notch hospitality, this is the place to go. Highly recommended

High quality food, generous portions and nice people!

We had the lamb shank and the chicken with saffron rice. Both dishes were delicious and very generous portions. Service was great, very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Not recommended what so ever . There is a better quality of course for better value in the other restaurant nearby !! Absolutely disappointing!!xxx

The best joojeh kebab! Will definitely be back!

Great dinner and service! Would definitely recommend!

Never again , I do not recommend to anyone ▪︎▪︎▪︎

Lovely staff, amazing food, will come back for sure.

Waitresses are not polite that has to be. A guy works as a waitress there,called ciros,he was so rude to me,asked me to give him a plate without any pleased so. Very disappointed. I think they have to learn more about how to treat people.

Friendly staff and good quality and fresh food . I recommend to everyone

Beautiful place the staff are very friendly the best Iranian food in London I’ll definitely come again

Food was delicious and generous portion size. Service was also 10/10. Great passionfruit martini.

Best Iranian food I’ve had outside of my mother in laws house

Completely perfect. Perfect Iranian food and hospitality. Would come every week if i could.

Amazing authentic persian food in a beautiful restaurant

Food was amazing. Everytime we come the food and service is family

The good and service were amazing. We had a mix plate for 2 ( which was definitely enough for 4 people). Staff are professional and polite. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this place. With high quality, big delicious portions of foods and nice and friendly staffs. Definitely I will come again.

Among the restaurants around this restaurant, in my and my family's opinion, it gets the best points from several points of view, it has a pleasant atmosphere and the female and male staff are wonderful with kindness and professionalism, and the quality of the food, especially the kebabs, is excellent and perfect.

Everything was perfect,good luck guys.

Everything amazing. Good quality food, lovely staff, warm environment. Thanks guys

Fantastic service and very delicious food

One of the best not only in london but also in the world ! The taste of food and quality was best ever. I tried different menus during my vacation in London I believe that management and team working was great! Thnx sima's grill made a wonderful memories to me!🥰

Good Persian restaurant. Nice environment and kind staff. Very responsive in keeping the food quality

Amazing food , lovely staff , what a beautiful place 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was really impressed with this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and worth every bite. The staff were polite and professional, making us feel very welcome. Even though it’s a bit far from where we live, it has become my family’s top choice. The toilets were very clean, and everything met high-quality standards. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I just had an amazing meal at this Iranian restaurant “ Simas’s Grill” The chenje was incredibly juicy—something that’s quite rare to find in Iranian restaurants. The koobideh and gheymeh bademjoon were also absolutely delicious. Each dish came with a piece of tahchin, which was so flavorful and added a nice touch to the meal. We also ordered doogh and mint tea, and finished off with ‘Faloodeh-Bastani’—everything was delicious from start to finish. The service was excellent, the gentleman who served us was very polite, friendly, and helpful with everything we needed. I highly recommend this place! The portions are massive and at just £30 per person, it’s very reasonably priced for such high-quality food.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sima’s Restaurant, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! Shahin and Lili provided us with exceptional service throughout our visit, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was simply outstanding, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. While it was a little cold inside, the warmth of Shahin and Lili's smiles and their genuine hospitality more than made up for it. Overall, I highly recommend Sima’s Restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. I can’t wait to return!

The special kebab, eggplant stuffing was excellent. The staff was excellent and polite. The homemade Dough drink was very tasty. The food design was excellent. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. The service was also excellent. This is hands down the best Persian restaurant in North London! I can’t wait to return and try more of their incredible menu. Highly recommend!!

Very lovely food and service ! Recommend it warmly x

This is the best Persian food you can find in north London. Not only the food taste authentical also the quality of the food is like home made. Sima is always helpful and try to accommodate your needs and she does not do a cheap job. The Resturant is decorated very pleasantly and you will enjoy your time there. Thank you Sima

Every thing is perfect. The customer service is amazingly satisfying. Thanks a bunch

Excellent service, Very Friendly and amazing food!

Best Persian restaurant in London I had an enjoyable lunch with my friends in a warm and friendly atmosphere it is 100 of 100

Great place to dine with friends and family, food was exceptional and service was great, friendly staff, highly recommend it to my friends and family, surely we will be back again.

I have never been here before but they were super welcoming, even eating by myself and i had an enjoyable time. I loved the Persian tea, first time trying. They gave me a complimentary dessert extremely lovely of them. Good big portions on the food.

Definitely the best Persian restaurant in London. Authentic, fresh, and served with a smile. Extremely succulent, delicious Koobideh kebabs and the best Ash-e-reshte soup in town. Also loved the Salad Olivieh and Kashk e Bademjan. This is the place to go for true Iranian hospitality.

I really enjoyed from food and service.

Mr. Siros and Mrs. Muhaddeh gave us a very warm welcome, very polite and warm-hearted, excellent service, the quality of the food is very good.

Everything was perfect🤩 really recommend if u want enjoy the good dishes 🤩

Very nice decor and very nice atmosphere! The service was very efficient and the food was fresh and tasty. Moderate prices. It's difficult to get a table, it's better to book in advance! Very clean toilet!!!

That was the really good experience that I went to this restaurant. I really recommend this lovely place to spend your weekend and also your free times, I enjoyed the service and the atmosphere. However the portions are quite large and enough for two people. For the end I would like to thanks lili for the good service and being friendly.
