It's really quite small, with just four small tables for eat-in. There are three glass counters full of food, two with pre-prepared savoury food and one with cakes. The savoury food comes in three sizes — small, medium, and large — and is heated to order. The food currently on offer is written on a blackboard behind the counter, and may differ slightly from the selection on their takeaway leaflet.

The person behind the counter was keen to tell me that everything they sell is home made and I believe him.

 Food comes in three sizes - small, medium and large and is pre-prepared and heated to order. I had a large lamb beryani (£8) which wasn't quite what I expected. I was thinking I'd get something a bit like biryani or pilau - this was a sticky saffron rice with green beans and small cubes of lamb. The Iranian term on the menu ''lobia polo bagosht'' (green bean rice) describes this better than Anglicising to biryani. I understand that selling your cuisine to an English audience involves finding appropriate terms but I don't think biryani is the right one here.

The Iranian term on the menu, lobia polo bagosht (green bean rice with lamb), is possibly a clearer description.
 I had a small tub of ''kasha-o-bademjan'' (aubergine dip with mint and whey) (£4 without bread) which was lovely. The sourness of the whey and the herbs worked really well together. To finish I had a couple of home made cookies. They had a variety - I chose some small ones for 50p each. They were nice and not too sweet.

 Overall I want to try more of the menu as it's pretty interesting.
