Patogh

I have been regularly eating at Patogh for almost 5 years now. I use to really like this restuarant, the large portions of buttered rice, the tender kebabs and the amazing bread... It even made the cramped seating, rude staff and long waits worth it!

I would best describe my relationship with this one as a love/hate relationship.

I hate the decor, the embarassing queues outside for up to 50 mins in the cold only for the waiter to be rude and unfriendly.

I love the food... well mostly the bread. All props but its still the best bread in London.

Then i realised that (asides from the bread) most Persian food is of the same quality being quite simple in its cooking and that its initial attraction was only partly due to the extortionate arabic/lebonese restaurants in the direct vacinity of Edgware Road. Compared to these Patogh was refreshing.

Last week i even booked a table in advance. Turned up and they told me to wait outside as i was less then 5 minutes late.
