Arian Chorlton, Manchester

Arian was absolutely fantastic - my boyfriend and I went on a Friday night when there was a big (around 16) group enjoying birthday celebrations in the restaurant at the same time. At first I was worried that this might affect the quality of service as their order was taken shortly before ours, however I needn't have worried as our starters came out quickly and there was a reasonable wait for our mains - which were the real stars of the night. My boyfriend's lamb shank was deliciously tender, the meat fell off the bone. My lamb dish was equally good and the starters very tasty. The lack of a license meant we could enjoy a delicious bottle of wine (picked up at oddbins on the way) without paying the restaurant mark-up. Service was first class - really friendly and attentive without being at all overbearing. We will definitely be going back - and urge anyone to give it a try. Great value for money too.

This is the first time I have had Persian food. The choice and quality of the food was excellent and the mixed kebabs with saffron rice were truly delicious. The restaurant is not licensed which we were not aware of when we went, but you can bring your own. Fortunately, there was an off-licence just across the road! The sweets I had were very sweet but compliment the accompanying Persian tea very well. I will definitely be going again.
