"This is my go to place for a meal, situated on the trendy and vibrant West Hampstead High Street. The menu offers a mouthwatering selection of starters, Persian specialist mains, great steak options and various world cuisine alternatives. Chicken dishes like Chelo Jooje Kebab and Baghali Polo which is a Persian specialty rice served with broad bean and dill beside Sea Bass are really good. For me the Persian omelette is a special mention an amazing dish to start your day with, which you can dive into with piping hot ciabatta. It’s the place for you if you like traditional food with a big range of texture and flavor. The drinks menu is robust whether you want to enjoy your classic red to white wine, favourite coctails or if you want to just go with something hot. Camden Hells, Camden Pale Ale and Pravha are on tap. This is a family run restaurant; and it is a good match for family gatherings. The owner is warm and thoughtful, and he will check on the guests to ensure their experience is enjoyable. The staff is attentive and prompt. I see a lot of families enjoy a weekend meal together, with added ease for young children as they have high chairs that help. On many occasions there are social gatherings, pre game meals and drinks on big match days. It is also suited for casual dining or an intimate couple’s dinner. The restaurant has many regulars who visit almost on a daily basis. They welcome pets with dedicated pet friendly tables inside. Indoors is a mix of thematic handmade artwork, handwritten signs and prints. You can sigh off the day as you relax on comfy chester sofas with your favourite drink in hand, with cozy lighting throughout. Their tables in front of the restaurant on the street get an amazing amount of sun on bright days; so much so that I’ve seen people almost sunbathing while enjoying a refreshing pint on the side that is also when they realize the restaurant is very close to West End Green park, which offers bountiful, relaxing green views in an urban backdrop. It’s important to remember that no business and certainly no restaurant is flawless and every establishment has bad days; slight delays and hiccups on very busy days are normal. The restaurant is located in a busy and narrow street; so parking could be challenging. All of these do not change the fact that you will have a great time here, and I would definitely recommend it as a nice place to go with friends, family and partner. Do try their steaks !"

"I’ve been coming to this place for years having grown up in the area but I was hugely disappointed by my recent experience. We were a party of five family members meeting for a pre Christmas get together including my elderly parents (both in their mid/late 80s). We were told that our booking was for two hours yet we were seated 25 mins late, despite arriving on time, and then harassed to leave at the initial booking end time without any consideration to the fact that we were seated late. When we’d been sat for a few minutes the waiter came over and said that she’d need to take our order as the kitchen was closing soon. We ordered some extra drinks, when they arrived two of the three drinks were wrong. A Diet Coke instead of a Coke Zero, some random beer instead of a cider. My brother swapped his out at the bar but I just made do. There was no vegetarian/vegan main on the menu. I’ve been in pubs on the Outer Hebrides with a better vegetarian offer. This is Clapham. The waiter did acknowledge that it wasn’t good enough and initially pointed me towards the three cold veg/vegan starters but then said they could ask the chef if they could do me ‘something’. That ‘something’ turned out to be pasta and vegetables or risotto with broccoli etc. I opted for the risotto. What arrived was a very sad, grey, watery risotto with a few pieces of mushroom. We weren’t offered the dessert menu presumably because the kitchen had closed sometime previously. The pub was exceptionally busy and I could see the staff were doing their best in trying circumstances and were all very pleasant but why did the pub take our booking in the first instance? It seemed like a situation of trying to cram in as many bookings as possible in the lead up to Christmas to make as much money as possible without any consideration of the customer’s experience. This isn’t a cheap pub and what we had was a third rate experience instead of the joyful Christmas get together that we were all hoping for. There are plenty of other places to eat in Clapham and in future I will be doing just that."

"My mother and I walked past this little gem of a restaurant by chance very late on a Saturday evening after going to watch a performance at her Majesty’s Theatre. We were surprised to see something open and as soon as we saw the word...“Indian” we were already stumbling through the door. Upon entry we were greeted straight away and made very welcome! (This is what we were most grateful for as even though they weren’t long from closing they still seemed happy to serve us so late in to evening We sat around the middle of the restaurant and since there were only a few other families inside the service was quick and everyone seemed to be attended to. The whole vibe of this place was very relaxing and had a sort of family feel so we were most comfortable throughout. The experience was really made for us when we realised the entire menu was Vegetarian, so we got very lucky with this place since having only recently turned Veggie! ... And WOW, did we find the Menu impressive! If only we could of had it all! The food itself was beautiful, we couldn’t fault it at all. From all the different flavours, to the spice level of the curry, to the temperature of the food, everything was lovely. We thought the prices very reasonable and were surprised how cheap the bill was was considering the location and what we ordered. We’ve paid similar in our home town and we live in the suburban part of the Midlands so how can anyone argue it’s expensive baffles me. Overall, It was the perfect end to a perfect day! We will definitely be returning again to try out the rest of the menu. Thank you to all the staff on the day, our visit to this restaurant really made our weekend in London. You have set the bar very high for other Indian Restaurants we will visit in the future. See you soon."

"Everything was going well, our waitress was lovely and the cocktails were nice. When our food came it was brought over by a different member of staff. We noticed it was the wrong food, we ordered shrimp starter to come with the mains but she had brought over mozzarella sticks (they might have been called mozzarella fingers or something like that). When I mentioned this to her the lady shouted ‘mozzarella sticks’ at me three times as I tried to hand them back. I was a bit shocked and it caused a bit of a scene as other guests started to look over. She then came back with the shrimp and at this point we noticed we had been given regular fries instead sweet potato that ordered so I told her this, she then did and overegragerated puff of her cheeks, rolled her eyes and walked away, no apology at all. My partner and I just looked at each other is shock! I have had bad service before but this was crazy, almost unbelievable. I called our waitress over and explained, at this point I was a combination of shocked, angry and embarrassed. I explained we would like to leave, we had lost our appetite and also felt conscious that other guests were looking over to see what was going on which made us uncomfortable. The manger then came over and offered us the whole meal for free and promised to deal with the rude waitres. But we declined as we just wanted to leave. Easily my worst ever restaurant experience!"
