Reviews of A taste of Persia
D. A.
Really excellent and interesting main courses accompanied by superb rice dishes containing exotic ingredients.
Fab and friendly service giving suggestions to the uninitiated.
Excellent value for money.

Your destination for tasty Persian dishes in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
We ordered Joojeh*, and shabzi beef stew. Both were really good.
*Joojeh is chicken skewer with rice and two grilled tomatoes.
For dessert, we went for Faloodeh" and Bastani Sonnati'. I didn't really like the Faloodeh, but the safaron ice cream was quite nice.
"Faloodeh is Home made, rose water flavour sorbet with fine rice noodles, with added lemon juice or raspberry.
'Home made, traditional saffron and pistachio ice cream.
Finally, I want to mention that they have a quiet clean toilet.

Such a lovely place. It was taken aback by how good n fresh their chicken was. Lamb was an absolute delight, no smell at all very fragrant, well spiced food. My kids absolutely loved it. My 20 months old was eating on her own , she liked it so much!! The staff is so polite, so friendly. Clean place, lovely restroom. Highly recommended.

Went to A Taste of Persia for the first time last night. Really really lovely restaurant! Me and my boyfriend had bread to start, we both had different kebabs for main and I had a baklava for desert (the best I’ve ever eaten!!) Atmosphere was lovely and chilled, the food was amazing, and the staff were really friendly and polite. Will definitely be back, can’t recommend enough :)
A. F.
Amazing food and service will be one to return to time and time again
F. A.
Wow, A pleasant surprise and will go back every time I am in Newcastle.
From the starter platter to all our main dishes, Kebabs and Grilled Salmon with Sabzi polo was just to die for. The cocktails we had were pretty good and great value. Thank you guys , Blessings.

Ordered from here many times but never visited the restautant. Food is better in the restaurant. Only down side is service is a little slow. Waitress was so lovely though. Menu in the restaurant ideally would have a discription of the dishes but everything we ordered was so tasty and very delicious. Sauce served in plastic pots the same delivery not really restaurant standards again they were absolutley amazing just presentation let them down. Overall im probabley being picky. I will definitely return as we both enjoyed our food emensley. Keep up the good work just a few tweeks needed. Thank you 👍
N. E. S.
Ambience is good. Staff there is nice. Food from 'Grill' section of the menu is good but Stews are not actually stews they are more like gravy.
G. M. F.
Lovely food and kindness staff
J. W.
One of my favourite restaurants. They were happy to accommodate for eating outdoors with an outside heater, but the inside was also very well distanced. Service was great and food was amazing as always with very generous portions for the price. Thank you!
B. G.
We had a before wedding dinner. It was delightful.
s. e.
We thoroughly enjoyed a very nice meal there on a Saturday evening.
Very good and friendly service with very well cooked,tasty, quality food.
We ordered too much food and had to take some away.
We both ordered mains with 2 skewers of chicken and different types of lamb.
2 cocktails, 2 starters,2 mains, and a bottle of red wine for £29 each.
A very nice restaurant, we will be going again soon. I can't wait to try the stews.

What a wonderful little restaurant. My family and I had an amazing meal last night. Everything was beautifully cooked and well flavoured. The staff were attentive and very friendly. The bill at the end of the night was incredibly reasonable even for the drinks, which you're normally ripped off for at a lot of restaurants. Thank you.
C. P.
Excellent food and service with a smile. Very affordable prices. Lovely friendly hosts and a beautifully decorated environment. You must try the original Persian recipes and tastes this place has to offer. Would recommend without reservation.

Visited this restaurant when I was in Newcastle. Didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a very clean restaurant, the service was very good and the food was very tasty. I ordered some spicy chicken and rice and it delivered on flavour.
G. F.
Excellent service, food & ambiance, would definitely recommend to others.
M. M.
Been here only three times. The food is always gorgeous. Fresh and flavourful. Staff are always friendly.
T. C.
Wow wow and wow, we are regular customers and often dine here and the food and service is always fantastic but last night you suppressed yourselves. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, this didn't phase the staff, they where lovely and welcoming and going above and beyond.
There was a large table in who did spoil ours, and other diners experience by letting their children run wild in the restaurant. Especially around our table. I actually couldn't believe how ignorant they where to the whole issue, however I had a quite word with one of the waitresses and she spoke with the family and sorted it, so all was good.
Thank you again for a fantastic evening, beautiful food especiay the soltani, can't wait to return.
R. H.
Food is nice but the menu is small. Highly recommend the aubergine starter.
F. A.
Loveeeed the Bastani Sonati, the best I had outside of Iran, and prices were really fair. Music choice could be better with more traditional songs but the food is really good and staff are friendly
J. G.

j. o.
Excellent food - tender lamb and chicken, the Jujah Chichen was absolutely amazing with some sort of marinade, and the Cucumber Raina was lovely as was the Saffron rice.
Great service at very reasonable prices in upmarket surroundings.
Not too crowded but not empty either. Lots of tables. We ddn't need to book on Monday at 7pm. Not full of students despite it being in a student area.
Even though it was table service I did go to the counter once or twice to get drinks from the well stocked bar.
Overall it was pretty amazing and I can't wait to go back. I eat out a lot and I thoroughly recommend this place to everyone.
J. D.
Family friendly restaurant, good customer service, very nice food, and the place and facilities are very clean. I'd recommend it.
J. H.
Very slow service - even when quiet - unless you order for delivery, small - relatively expensive - portions. It seems like a roll of the dice with each item as to whether it's going to be prepared well, the food is often really great but also often not up to standard. Gets my award for the most watery doogh in the world.
S. A.
The best most amazing food i had in a very very VERY long time. Desserts were amazing, the trio of baklava, saffron ice cream and fig was so yum. Staff and ambiance of the restaurant is AWESOME
R. T.
Best restaurant in Jesmond by far. The food is so fresh and tasty. Joojeh and Megoo my fave dishes but you could count most things. The Hummus is to die for. Amazing value also. The happy hour 5-7 weeknights £8.95 for two courses is brilliant. Staff lovely too.
5 stars give it a try.

(Translated) We were very excited about the food. We were lucky enough to get a table, as we had not reserved before. It is rather a small restaurant with few places so a reservation was recommended. We had very tasty appetizers like falafel, hummus and haloumi. The mains were also delicious and more than adequate. There are barbecue skewers lamb or chicken and many other dishes. For this rice is eaten. The prices are moderate.

Wir waren sehr begeistert von dem Essen. Wir hatten Glück noch einen Tisch ergattert zu haben, da wir vorher nicht reserviert hatten. Es ist eher ein kleines Restaurant mit wenigen Plätzen deshalb empfhielt sich eine Reservierung. Wir hatten sehr leckere Vorspeisen wie Falafel, Hummus und Haloumi. Die Hauptspeisen waren auch sehr lecker und mehr als ausreichend. Es gibt Grillspieße Lamm oder Hähnchen und noch viele andere Gerichte. Dazu wird Reis gegessen. Die Preise sind moderat.
