Why it's in the guide

One of London's longest-standing Iranian restaurants, on Hereford Road since 1983 and still packed with Persian regulars — the surest sign you're in the right place. Charcoal-grilled kebabs, saffron rice with a crisp tahdig, fresh bread from the clay oven by the door. Unchanging, in the best way.

Order the chelo kebab and the fresh bread straight from the oven.
