Alborz

Tonigh we had the pleasure of dining at Alborz Persian Restaurant to celebrate a birthday party , and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, bursting with authentic Persian flavors that truly captured the essence of Iranian cuisine. Every dish tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned — you can tell that only the highest quality ingredients are used.

The chef’s skill and professionalism really shine through in every bite, taking you on an amazing journey through the rich and diverse tastes of Persian culinary tradition. From the perfectly grilled kebabs to the fragrant saffron rice and flavorful stews, everything was cooked to perfection.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and professional, making me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout the meal. Their warm hospitality added so much to the overall experience.

I will definitely be going back again, as this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time — both in terms of taste and atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy real, authentic Persian cuisine at its finest!

We found this place by chance and couldn't be happier! It's a lovely family business that really makes you feel as if you were invited for lunch or dinner in an iranian home. The food was incredibile both in terms of quality and quantity.  And whats best is that prices are absutely affordable (6£ for a hot starter for 2 people, 14- 19 £ for a main meat dish with rice included).

Best place ever !

Good food and very friendly people. The environment can be a bit more vibrant. And please put spoons on the table 👍😇

Like others have mentioned, the food is unfortunately quite basic. The staff are pleasant, but the dishes lack any real flavour, no profile depth, and feel like something I could throw together in a rush rather than what I would expect when eating out at a restaurant. Lacklustre comes to mind.

The atmosphere is fine, nothing to complain about, though nothing really memorable either.

Overall, it falls a little below average, of what I expect of a restaurant.

I really wanted to love all the food I got as we had traveled from Lewisham to get there. So was very disappointed on the mediocrity of food, despite the very kind woman (manager?)

All the food I had was so bland: the smoked aubergine and the Fesenjan. But big portions so good value for the price, I guess? We got boxes for takeaway.

My husband had a chicken and saffron rice (which I wish mine came with rather than white basmati rice with some saffron rice sprinkled atop), with red berries sprinkled atop. He also got a side order of the yogurt and garlic sauce which was quite tasty. His verdict: nothing to write home about but good enough.

I ended up getting a side order of berries as well as mine was so bland (the Fesenjan sauce was practically flavourless).

My husband enjoyed the tea and baklava - it definitely doesn’t taste like the standard baklava which I enjoy more, as there’s more of a rosewater flavour.

Like I said, the server was so motherly I hate leaving a mediocre review. I’ve just had much tastier Persian food elsewhere.

A halal sign is clearly visible on the premises of this restaurant.
