Apadana, located at 351 Kensington High Street, London, is a hidden gem of Persian cuisine in the heart of Kensington.
Introduced by a friend who leads an Arabic music group, I was instantly captivated by both the food and the atmosphere.
Ms. Bita, the attentive host, warmly guided me through the menu, full of familiar Persian dishes and exciting new options.
The live music, performed by the incredibly talented Mr. Manouuch, added to the experience.
His voice, capable of reviving any crowd, brought Persian, Indian, Arabic, and Armenian songs to life with a magical energy.
I opted for the Persian Chicken Biryani, a fragrant dish rich with saffron and spices once reserved for royalty.
The generous portions and reasonable prices made it even more delightful.
The ambiance made me feel like royalty myself, and I can't wait to return with my family and friends to share this special spot.
Kudos to Ms. Bita and her team—I'll definitely be back!!© Google = Ash-Cash and TripAdvisor = Ash and Karen

One of excellent Persian restaurants you can try it at London. The menu is having a lot of food selection from appetizers to main dish till dessert. The atmosphere is good, the staff so so so kind, the service is so great really everything was more than expectation. Yes a far location from London center, but really it deserves a trial and live the experience. I strongly recommend the restaurant and take a try even it is faraway since you will definitely enjoy the food big time, I’m pretty sure about that

Apadana – A Hidden Gem in Kensington! I’ve been coming to Apadana for nearly 10 years, and it’s always been one of my favorite spots in London. The food is consistently authentic and delicious, but what really makes it special are the people. Haydar and Bita, two of the staff members, always treat me like family. Their warmth and hospitality make each visit feel like coming home.
If you’re looking for a place with incredible Persian food, a cozy atmosphere, and a team that truly cares about their customers, you’ve got to visit Apadana.

The food was below average , highly priced . Compared with other iranian restaurant this takes 3 out of 10 , the qema says with potatoes and when it arrived, there was like chips on top of it 😡 The dolma not dolma it’s ورق عنب بالزيت . The bread is hard and not as moist as it should be . The ppl though are nice . For me I would never return .

The Apadana restaurant is a true gem with a fascinating history dating back to 1967. As a lover of authentic Persian cuisine, I was simply blown away by the quality and flavor of their dishes. The simplicity of their preparation truly allows the flavors to shine and makes each dish a true delight. The option to dine both indoors and outdoors adds to the charm of this place. An absolute must-visit for any foodie and lover of Persian cuisine!
