    We had to wait almost two hours for the main course to be served. Service was very slow. The heaters didn’t work outside either , which should be mentioned before people sit outside.

    It could not have been a more delightful and delicious evening.... From our warm greeting by the hostess to the impeccable service to the outstanding food and drink. Excellent! We enjoyed the quiet courtyard gardens setting, which was subdued and relaxing. The service was attentive but not intrusive. And the food was above our expectations. It was our best meal in London over a 7-day visit!

    Disappointing. Staff generally new and inexperienced. No food for over an hour. Food actually quite interesting, but nothing special for the high prices. And menu missing items such as the much vaunted oysters. Nice outdoor ambience. But seriously needs to improve.

    They have a lovely courtyard in the back with plenty of space, so on a warm night, it's very pleasant. The food was hit-and-miss: delicious lamb, a fantastic aubergine appetizer, spectacular Bakclava and Persian ice cream, a forgettable seafood appetizer, and a broccoli side dish. The service was very friendly but slow; they seemed overwhelmed, and it took over 30 minutes for someone to take our food order.

    Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed our courtyard and loved the lamb, aubergine appetizer, Baklava, and Persian ice cream. We're sorry some dishes didn't meet your expectations and for the delay in service. Your comments are invaluable, and we hope to provide you with a flawless experience next time. Best regards, Houman Chef Patron
