Iranian Kebab restaurant in Chiswick

bob visited on a Wednesday lunchtime in February a week or so after the restaurant had opened. When I turned up there was one person eating already. Several groups turned up while i was Eating and a few people got takeaway. The restaurant can seat just over 30 people.

To start with I had Kashke-o-Bademjan(£3)photo. An aubergine dish with walnut, onion, garlic and broiled yoghurt. This was very good the flavours were quite subtle.

For my main I had the house special(Makhsous). [ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/3253239080/in/set-72157613348585168/ photo]. This comes with a minced lamb kebab and then your choice of fillet of lamb, chunk of fillet of lamb, chunk of boneless chicken breast. £11.50 with lamb or £8.50 with chicken. I had the fillet of lamb. The minced lamb kebab was very tasty indeed again the flavours were subtle. The fillet of lamb was pretty good as well. Still pink in the middle. You can have this with rice or nan with salad. I had the nan with salad. The salad was fresh and the dressing was pretty good too. The nan is freshly cooked. The chilli sauce was suitably hot.

For dessert I had the Paloodeh(£3.50)photo which is persian sorbet wth rice noodles in soem rose water. This was interesting. The sorbet was pretty good. I felt there was a bit too much rose water. The noodles were the strange bit. Nothing wrong with them just not what i expect in a dessert.

To drink I had a pot of persian tea.(£2.50)photo This tasted quite nice and was kept on a warmer.
