Absolutely outstanding experience at the Persian restaurant!

Will definitely be returning!

Excellent traditional Persian restaurant. This is the real deal. This is the one that Persian restaurants go to for dinner lol But seriously if you haven't been then you are in for a treat. Make sure to book a table as it can get rather busy in the evenings.

I had the salad olvie for starter with bread, followed by Sultani Chello Kabab. Sultani translates to Royalty. So its basically saying that the meal is fit for royalty.

London is home to a thriving Iranian and Persian food scene, with dozens of restaurants across the city offering classic dishes like kebab koobideh. Camden Town and Kilburn boast bustling food scenes with highly-rated hidden gems, so I set out to review two acclaimed Iranian restaurants in the area and experience firsthand their tasty offerings and cozy spaces.

I landed on Kish Persian Restaurant, an Iranian restaurant located in the Kilburn neighborhood of London, having 4.2 stars reviews from 2,137 diners. Intrigued by the promise of delicious Persian cuisine, I decided to give it a try.

Location Review
Kish Persian Restaurant is conveniently located near two Kilburn subway stations, making it accessible for those in the Westminster borough. Positioned on the edge of Central London, it sits in a sweet spot that caters well to visitors from the west and north. However, those traveling from the south or east may find it a bit less convenient.

Service Review
The service at Kish Persian Restaurant left me with mixed feelings. While the staff speak Farsi and were friendly and accommodating when taking my order, there were instances of confusion regarding seating arrangements. The restaurant comprises multiple adjacent spaces, and the insistence on seating us in a less desirable area, despite our preferences, was a bit frustrating. Additionally, miscommunication about complimentary items and a surprise charge for bread and tea were notable drawbacks.

Portion Review
The star of the show, the koobideh, presented a generous portion that was both lengthy and substantial. However, the rice portion fell short, leaving me to rely on bread to complete the meal- always a bad sign as an Iranian! I just ordered the main dish with no sides included. A more ample serving of rice would have been appreciated.

Half star

Price Review
Priced at £15 for the koobideh, Kish Persian Restaurant falls slightly above the average range for similar dishes in London. While this is still reasonable, additional charges for bread and tea should be considered. The total cost falling within the average range, so I would give it an average rating. .

Quality Review
On the plus side, the rice was impeccably fluffy and buttery, while the koobideh had a delicious, well-balanced flavor. The starters, including the bread, shirazi, and olivia, all showcased excellent quality. Even the tea at the end was a delightful experience. This restaurant triumphs in delivering a memorable culinary experience.

Had Turkish and Persian breakfast. £7/8 each. Quite similar. Turkish one came with sausages and Persian with some nuts and no meat.
Other things on the plate I had no idea what they were but reminded me of Moroccan breakfast. Some sort of cheese, honey, baked flatbread, eggs.
The place is quiet, no music but pleasant.

The best Persian restaurant. We had our daughter birthday. The owner and amazing staff here gave the most comfortable and fantastic service to make a memorable night for my seven year old and our guests. Thank you very much Kish restaurants management.
