I Went to Dish Dash last Saturday and this is a lovely restaurant with great food, excellent cocktails, great atmosphere and impeccable service. Just find out they have a new branch at Chelsea and i will go to try it. Well worth a visit.

not great, if you go 2 doors down the road to Marmaris you get a better fresher kebab and for half the price. Dish Dash is not worth it and the service is well below par ... they are like bullies sometimes. Small portions too. Food tastes ok though, but too many other downsides.

I have just been to Dish Dash for the first time and it was absolutely outstanding. The waiter made useful recommendations on the menu and there was a really interesting range to choose from.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience and I will definitely be going back soon.

I need to let you know that I was in Dish Dash Balham last night , and it was super.

I did not know that they had a belly dancer and that was great surprise for our little group.

Food was very good , drinks were great and we had a really nice time.

I went to Dish Dash for a birthday meal a few nights ago. Whilst the staff are very polite and accomodating of our party of 20, the food that I had was distinctly lacking. My fellow diners went for the party menu at £18, which looked quite bland and a lot was left over. I tried some of the home made bread shaped like a turban which tasted of rice paper. I went for the fish, which turned up about 2 hours after I had ordered (Tip, you must have a starter if your party goes for cold meze as you have to wait for a good two hours before the mains come out) The fish portion was very small for the price and it consisted of a alarmingly high number of bones which were very hard to remove from my teeth whilst chatting. I had a vodka and coke which tasted watered down and cost half as much as my meal. I left quickly, hungry and sure that I will never recommend it to anyone. The staff are very good but it doesnt make up for the menu and prices.

I went to dish dash in chelsea last week and i found it a fantastic place, great atmosphere and the staff are very friendly (which in those days are difficult to find it). The food was great; the Khoresht with red kidney beans was more than everything. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone and i have been told that they have the same in balham, which I’m going this week with a large group.

Well recommended for party.

Well done!!!!

We went to Dish Dash last night and to my amazement there was not a single Persian Chef in the kitchen as confirmed by a member of staff. I expected to eat Persian Kebab and rice but it didn't taste anything like it and I forced myself to eat it. I ordered for cranberry juice which was very watered down, so I just tasted iced water with just a hint of flavour for £1.80! They should not claim that they do Persian food while they have no idea whatsoever!! Sugared rice and mice-sized portions are certainly not what an Iraninan would eat!! They replaced saffron with a bit of chopped parsely instead and a 10p-sized salad portion on the plate which consisted of onions mainly. On a positive note, the staff were polite and friendly but this does not make up for the POOR food. I definitely would not recommend any one, especially families, going there. Maybe couples who want a drink but don't go there if you actually want to enjoy a decent meal out. I wish I could have a refund. What an insult to Iranian cuisine which is absolutely fabulous.

I went to Dish Dash yesterday, the food was seriously bad, you could taste plastic, you know the taste when you reheat lastnight's dinner in a tupperware box. I mentioned my dissapointment to the waitress who took the offending items down to the chef for an 'expert opinion' the answer came back that it was the complex combination of saffron and the copius amounts of chopped parsley, oh and it's supposed to taste like that.
