By far the best Persian restaurant in town. The food was incredible and perfectly made, with a cosy and authentic atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Everything about the place shows real care and tradition. Definitely a favourite!

We ate in Walnut for a birthday meal. It was our first visit but definitely will not be our last!!! 🫶🌟🫶 The food was outstanding and our waiter was also friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the Mixed Grill for 2 as our main. 😋😋 It was HUGE! Everything was so tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. The food smelled incredible and I wish we could have bottled that smell! We couldn’t finish it so look a doggy bag home and it was still just as good the next day. ❤️🌟🍽️ Really cannot think of anywhere else in Glasgow that you could get similar food. 📍🤷🏼‍♀️ Really highly recommend going! Youll be in for treat 😉 20 out of 10 from using !

Amazing, local restaurant. Mixed grill, comes with rice which was honestly the best rice I’ve ever had, and the meat was cooked to perfection, very generous portion - couldn’t finish it but staff happily provided take away containers. Meze dishes were delicious, their special olives in a pomegranate marinade were great. Tried shisha for first time and it’s fun, had this along with saffron tea, which was lovely. Staff are very welcoming, friendly and relaxed but attentive. Overall, a lovely experience.

Worst restaurant I’ve ever been and won’t be back and don’t recommend it at all. First of all If you’re iranian you should know what a Jojeh Kabab is will be marinated well but their Jojeh Kabab was bare and looked all white no flavor NO SAFFRON can you even believe? Jojeh Kabab with no saffron? Also zereshk polo was disappointing too no zereshk at all If you know what I mean I attached photos just check and have a good laugh about it. If you want to try iranian food try elsewhere cause they don’t know how to cook.

This is a great place to taste Persian food. We tried kebabs and stews, and all were great. They even have Abali Dough, which is the best kind. They served traditional Iranian Chai as a free treat after food.
