Colbeh Restaurant

Great food, professional and very kind staff. The scent of Persia in London provides traditional domestic cuisine additionally flavored with spices that are warming those coldish days. For those who like to enjoy great food and big portions, more than recommended!

Best Iranian restaurant in London, but unfortunately they don’t have a big place they only serve a few people. Trust me it deserve the wait

We visited this restaurant as it has been on our list of Iranian restaurants to try in ages as we live outside London.

First impression: The queue system outside in the cold was very off putting and diabolical.

The restaurant itself is average and very small.

It is not disabled friendly.

If you need to use the toilet, you either need to be a dwarf or a size zero as the stairs going downstairs is not made for adults.

It was a shame that I did not see any Iranians in the restaurant, it was mainly Arabs and Indians, which is a typical Iranian thing not supporting their own community and such restaurants no longer catering for Iranians as we know our food so well.

The staff were friendly, the service was good.

However, I do need to make some constructive criticism about the food.

We asked for 2 bread, but we were advised one should suffice, which was okay I guess so not to waste food.

The Ash Reshteh was very small and average, the picture has made it look as if it was a lot.

The paneer, sabzi, walnut was very small compare to other Iranian restaurants and so dull looking.

The mixed torshi tasted weird and just not nice.

As for the food, the rice was perfect for a child and as an Iranian restaurant they should know better to serve such little rice.

The chicken mince kebab was average.

Mine was chicken and lamb kebab, honestly I have had much better.

To wash it all down, we ordered some tea. Very disappointing, where was the teapots?

The mint tea should have been just mint, not mix with tea.

Where as the sugar cubes? As an Iranian restaurant and Iranians you really should know better.

Overall, disappointing, I am glad we went, but we will not be returning again sadly.

Absolutely amazing! Worth the visit although there was waiting time.
This cozy place is great serving the most delicious authentic Persian food. Service was fast and friendly.

Everything we've tried was super delicious:
- Ash reshteh
- Naan
- Mast o Khiar
- Chelo Kabab Koobideh with saffron rice and delicious zereshk
- Veggie Chelo Khoresh Baamieh with saffron rice
- Joojeh Kabab Boneless with fries

It was my first time in this restaurant and will come back again for sure.

Even though the queue is long sometimes and the restaurant is on the smaller size, the food is most definitely worth it.

The Keshk-E-Bademjan is delicious with their warm fresh out of the oven bread.

Their chelo kebab is a chef’s kiss, 10000/10, I order it every single time I visit the place (best paired with some zereshk).

Their Ghouzi is also amazing. The meat is tender and tasty. Another must.
