Summary
Eat like a king amid carpets, cushions and multi-coloured lamps at this “consistently terrific” suburban staple (also with Jesmond sibling); it delivers Persian dishes “full of flavour” in a “very convivial atmosphere”.
Summary
One of the city’s best-kept secrets for 17 years, this brightly coloured, carpet-clad staple on the outskirts continues to offer “something different” – namely “good quality food” with an “authentic Persian taste”. A four-year-old Jesmond sibling is also “excellent value for money and as good as the original”.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
