Tandis

My wife and I went for a nice romantic dinner at Tandis.

The food was very good and had a home-cooked feel. The decor was surprisingly upmarket for a Persian/Iranian restaurant and made a difference to some of the low-key ones on Harrow Road etc. We felt the only thing that let down the place was the service.

Both waiters that served us clearly didn't pass charm school and must have been the son and daughter of very dour and depressing parents. If they could up the ante on their personnel then Tandis would definitely become one of our local haunts.

Food was great! As ever the Iranian rice was fantastic! The mosst kheeyar was really tasty. The boys also loved the ice-cream. The service wasn't as warm as I would expect from an Iranian restaurant though.

Never eaten Persian before so not entirely sure what to expect . It wasn't bad. The soup ( spinich beans and noodles ) was quite nice and the persian flat bread with it was lovely, Had a double kebab ( chicken and lamb with plain rice ) to follow , the kebabs were pretty good ( lamb one really nice, chicken ok ) but didn't really go with the plian rice , not enough contrast in taste . Had a glass of wine and thought the value was ok , just could have been a little bit more interesting but glad I went.

As a Iranian, I have to say that Tandis is one of the best Iranian cousin in London. Last night I was there with my friends for first time and we really enjoyed the delicious food and also nice and modern atmosphere .

I recommend to everyone It's worthy to go there and try it.

The food was overall a very good experience. The main dishes could have been more inventive though in the sense, that they only contained meat rice and one tomato. The service was very friendly and the place itself stylish and clean. The price was quite cheap for the good quality of the food! Not to mention the tasty cocktails. It's definitely worth visiting.

I have been to every single persian restaurant in London and Tandis is just something else.

The decor is fantastic and the bar itself sells the place.

Unlike most persian restaurant, Tandis has obviously had designers involved and they have created a cosy but at the same time classy place with 4 different rooms each with different ecor.

For starters we had a Sini Mazzeh for £10 to include Mast moosir, Sabzi khordan, kashke badenjaan and mirzaghasemi and 1 bread which was home made and tasted and smelled nicely. The youghurt is apparently home made as well and it was lovely.

For main course I had a chenjeh soltani and the wife had joojeh ba ostokhoon(poussin on the bone) and the kebabs would just melt in your mouth.

The Doogh(youghurt drink) was so nice it would remind you of dooghe abali.

The staff are very polite and the prices are very reasonable.

Thank you guys for the good job and hope you keep it this way.
