Best KPortal Reviews
I asked a good Iranian friend of what in his opinion was the best Iranian restaurant in London.
He pointed me towards here. Conveniently it’s only 5 mins cycle from Harrowall so as a climber it was logical to pair them up.
A 4 1/2 hour climb had built up a good appetite. I ordered the Kebab Koubideh (minced lamb with bread) and the Pollow Koresh Ghormeh Sabzi (green herb lamb stew with kidney beans and served with with with barberries).
Both were delicious & flavoursome as promised and portions were ample. To finish I had some Bastani (Persian saffron ice cream with rose water & pistachio). I’d never had this before, it had some a depth of flavour.
The owner was friendly and came to chat. Overall it was a great dining experience and I’m grateful for the recommendation. Definitely one of the best Iranian meals I’ve had in london.
They have some specials at the weekend I’m interested in trying, especially the Aab Goosht (meat stew) and Ghalieh Mahi (fish stew). The owner recommended if I did to phone 24 hours in advance to reserve a portion as it’s typically finished by about midday.
Simply fantastic food! Would highly recommend to all. Food is authentic, delicious, well priced and the service is exceptional. Entering the restaurant took us away and we almost felt like we were on holiday.
Thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious food and Persian interior at Dekhadekh. I don't usually post reviews but it would not be fair for Dekhadekh to go unnoticed. It's nice and cosy, staffs were very engaging. This restaurant is going to go far in Northolt as its different than the rest. Shisha space is also another attraction for guests. :)
Expensive - prices might have been increased since eat out to help out scheme was introduced? Sadly, I feel the customer service is questionable. Lacking in experience dealing with customers in a friendly way. I have eaten in thousands of restaurants and mostly Afghan or Persian.
Food was nice which is why the reviews are good, but I wouldn't say the best or anywhere near. The waitress was generally quite nice until our food arrived. We were a bit confused there were no full size plates provided for our two children to eat from. She told us she needs her plates for other customers that are coming soon. After we insisted our children will need proper plates she said she will check, then returned with two proper plates. This was the start of our problems with this otherwise pleasant and cosy establishment. We ordered the mixed grill for 4, assuming the hefty and uncompetitive price of £50 would provide 3 adults and two small children a decent meal. We also ordered a couple of sides and starters.
When the grill arrived, the portion was actually quite disappointing and missing some baby chicken. When I mentioned this I was told that it comes with so much lamb so one missing baby chicken is no big deal. I just thought OK... I just want to eat. Then the salad portion was not even enough for one person, it was two slices of cucumber, 2 slices of tomato and a handful of lettuce. It was how much salad you might find on at the side of a starter plate. We all love our salad with grilled food, so I complained asking for a top up as it cannot be right for a £50 grill (described as for 4). The lady returned with a plate of salad which had a few extra vegetables.
We wanted some Persian tea which was then served with no sugar, I had to get up and go to the kitchen to get the sugar as the waitress by then was completely ignoring my table.
At the end of our meal we were shocked to find we were charged £4.50 for the extra salad which we thought was to correct the mistake of not giving a full salad portion with the grill. We asked if that could be adjusted and she told us the salad provided with the grill was just for decoration(!), and if we want salad we have to pay £4.50! It's also worth noting that a small plate of chips in this restaurant is charged at £4.50! Most expensive chips ever! The restaurant also force a 10% service charge which you have to pay even if the service was poor. I felt this was illegal but again, didn't want to make a scene anymore.
We came here thinking we would get a good meal at a decent price due to the government eat out to help out scheme, the reviews looked excellent. Sadly we left feeling we spent the same as we would have on any other night, and that our money would have got us a better overall experience elsewhere.
We were hoping to order food to take away and also return with more friends but that did not and will not be happening. I recommend you take your custom to one of the several other restaurants if you want to avoid high prices for poor service and average food. I hope the restaurant will review the price / contents of the grill and also the chips! Would also suggest a friendly and more generous approach to paying customers who might have returned had the experience been made better, quite easily by the waitress.
Don’t be fooled with the current reviews, the food is rubbish, I genuinely picked the place because of the reviews and made a big mistake.
I and my partner had to deal with stomach pain for the rest of the evening and night.
To summarise:
1)The kebabs were not fresh or if they were then the meat was so hard to chew .
2)Starters were not cooked the same way as usual ( walnuts were missing and etc)
3) yogurt drink was tasteless
It’s unusual to be asked if you need a dressing for your salad !? It should just come with it … ( never mind it really tasted like water)
The only one star I have given here is for the nice lady who welcomed and served us.
Note: the service charge was put on the bill without a consent from us, which wouldn’t be an issue if the food was to an standard.
Avoid this place at all cost .
Got 10 kebabs for takeaway with rice. The kebabs were good and tasty but some were a bit burnt. The prices are slightly more costly than other places that serve koobideh kebabs. Overall it is a good local Iranian restaurant.
Opened recently, and a very nice place too. The two-piece meal on the photo was about a tenner, service was quick and faultless, and the food excellent.
They also do take away and home delivery.
Oh, and the baklava is well worth a taste as well!
Bring my kids to Scout every Fri and saw this cozy Persian cuisine next to it. Always wanted to try out and lastnight finally I pop in for takeaway. The foods smell Devine but also delicious n not overpriced. The lamb succulent n melt in mouth.
