Alounak

Best Persian restaurant in London! Perfect food quality with reasonable pricing! Everything was perfect! Food was fresh ! Service was excellent! The manger helped us finding a good table! She welcomed us and didn’t wait so long ! Thanks so much for such an experience

We arrived around 6pm, there wasn’t much of a queue. The Mirza Ghassemi and Kabab Koobeideh are delicious! Both are a must try.
Just a notice - their portions are a bit big, come in with an empty stomach. Highly recommend this place

The food is bad. I do not recommend the experience to anyone. I did not finish the dish served 🍽️ and it was one of the best types available.

My all time favourite Iranian restaurant. Consistently great fresh food and excellent service for over thirty years! It evokes memories of my childhood dinning table. Great fresh grilled lamb and Saffron infused Chicken Kebabs rice and freshly baked bread are superb. The daily ‘dish of the day’ are sumptuous dishes. Mine is Saturday’s Baghalli Polo. A divine dish of slow cooked Lamb Shank with dill and broad beans saffron rice. Alounak doesn’t take bookings.Evenings and weekends there’s a long queue but the wait is worth it! They don’t serve Alcohol but you can bring your own wine/beer. It’s open all day from 12.00pm seven days a week. Once you’ve dined here you’d want to come back again and again! I’ve been dinning here regularly on my own and with friends since Alounak first opened thirty years ago!

Came here on a Thursday evening around 5pm to have late lunch with my other two friends. Ordered 2 main dishes: Kebab Koobideh and Alounak Special.

Thankfully we only ordered 2 dishes to be eaten by 3 people, because the portion for a dish was really huge! We finished both dishes and all of us were full after that. They were amazingly delicious, or maybe we were just too hungry. Nevertheless, the price was worth with the taste and portion given.

The staffs were nice and did their job profesionally. They confirmed that it is a halal restaurant so we can eat lighheartedly. The restaurant was nicely decorated with Persian theme. It feels relaxing to chill and just enjoy our meals. Not to forget that the toilets were clean and provided with bidet, which was a plus point for Asians like us. Would definitely repeat coming here in the future.

One of the best Persian restaurants to go to. Always great food and love the staff super friendly and can bring your own bottle of drink if you want to. We have been going to this place for some time and they are always generous with their portions and everything tastes great. The clay oven is in the restaurant as you walk in where you can see them making the bread. Also recommend the pot if tea with cardoman and mint. They give you extra hot water as well to dilute the tea as it gets strong after your first 2 cups. Definitely recommend this place.
