what the critics say
TimeOut - 3/5
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - The cook had kindly catered to our cravings by rustling up a dish that wasn't technically on the menu, adding aubergine to a lamb, lentil and dried lime stew to make khoresht-e gheimeh bademjan, packed with meat and a touch too much turmeric. Marinated chicken joojeh and seasoned minced lamb koobideh kebabs were succulent and served alongside a soft heap of saffron-tinted rice. Not even a bottle of wine, pot of tea or plate of sugary Persian sweets was able to push the bill over 40 quid, making this a worthy addition to an area not renowed for its cheap eats.

Amazing place. Somewhat out of the way, but a real find. Delicious food at very low prices, plus friendly owners.

Tamarind and Thyme
Wednesday, March 23, 2011 - First, a grill, of which there are quite a few on the menu: Chelo Kabab Koobideh, which was two skewers of a most tender and juicy minced lamb with a side of saffron rice, grilled tomatoes and salad. The only quibble was that I prefer my tomatoes to be much more grilled, allowing for you to squish the hot juices into your rice...Second, an Okra stew full of lots of soft baby okra and lamb that fell apart at a touch of the fork, all in a thin tomato and garlic sauce. Rice on the side, of course. The flavours were gentle but extremely soothing and those flavours certainly popped more when the stew had cooled a bit.
