Arranged a dinner for my sister's farewell party. Lovely place and very accommodating. The food was lovely and served hot. However they didn't make an error with one of my cousin food coming later and forgot her. However the lady serving was very apologetic and made sure she got it. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the food,left a nice tip for our service. We did understand it was busy with delivery. Xx

We were visiting South Hampton and fancied something different. Went to this place and were not disappointed! Lovely food, ambiance and excellent customer service also child friendly! Will definitely visit again soon!

That’s a shame that great like this was not busy on such beautiful weekend. The food was very good. The hummus was delicious served with freshly baked naan and the rice with lentil and lamb was superb. Very clean restaurant and welcoming staff. Although the parking was impassible as the restaurant is only the zigzag lines and on both sides of the road there are private properties. Perhaps 2 cars can be parked in by the restaurant side as it has corner view you can park by the window. Other than that it’s all great, fresh, delicious, and cheap. Fabulous. 5 stars for sure.

J. A.

Had a lovely dinner with family. the boss is very fun, always smiling, the food portion was huge, I could not finish it. we took the rest in takeaway box. I can not find a word for the atmosphere, it was both modern and transitional, felt ... comfortable and nice. The food was delicious and the price was worth the experience. Will definitely come back with friends.

We had booked this restaurant for dinner and we were not disappointed. Ambience is very nice, not overly decorated, simple and elegant. Staff is very polite, service minded and we had a great service. We are vegetarians and the restaurant had good options. The gentleman who served us gave good suggestions to choose from the menu. The food was really good and we had a great evening. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to eat some good Persian food.

6 months ago I was on vacation from the US, visiting my cousin in England. We came to Persian Paradise for a family dinner one night and it was SO delicious that I made them all bring me back here again. The Koobideh Kabob is delicious! Along with sea bass and lamb chops! Nice clean and friendly environment! Cant wait to come back on my next vacation!

E. M.

Delicious food!! Lamb, chicken and rice- Best I ve ever eaten! The staff was sooo helpful,friendly and polite! You can sit outside very easily (despite the cold weather) because of the heaters Definitely we will go again! Strongly recommended!!

Very nice food, I think family run business. Excellent service and tasty food.

B. R.

Quality food, large portion and good price. Amir was fantastic host and I definitely recommend Persian Paradise in Southamoton. I believe that you can also take your favourite alcoholic drink with you as they serve only soft drink. We had a great birthday party and I recommend this place.

Excellent menu and delicious food ,very clean restaurant and friendly service. Reasonably priced dishes. Very much recommended!

D. S.

Friendly family run business with amazing traditional Persian cuisine. I definitely would recommend a visit.

Quality wholesome food. £12 for the Special which consisted of Chicken shish and lamb kofte with a bed of rice and salad. Great value for money and tasted fresh and authentic. Rice was freshly cooked which made it light and fluffy. Kids meal which is half the price has one skewer of meat or chicken with rice and salad which is equally great value for money and was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids !

Y. Z.

Great food, service, and dine-in experience! We were treated with hospitality from the owner. Would definitely come back again.

20jan19,0530pm.. we came here cos we see the highly recommended reviews from the public. It’s truly recommended. The food was so tasty and fresh.. the meat had less fats but yet soft. Rice was fluffy and we ordered okra soup. Wow!!! It really warms you up in this cold weather!!! Food came, it was a big potion and first time ever, we finished the whole potion each and my potion with salad, couldn’t touch the salad cos I was too full!! We had the tea, and for first time, what an experience sugar candy to dip into the tea to taste the sweetness to our preference. Amazing!!!! It’s a really a casual atmosphere, great for a family and friends to dine in. Highly recommended!!! Check out for the pictures taken in trip advisor!!

We were on holiday and I found this restaurant on line when we went there I said it will be very busy and we can't get the table easy,the food was nice especially sabzi but the food was cold especially rise and nobody was there only us they should serve the food hot,but the starter was very nice and we finished all but they should serve fresh nan with the food and hot not worm it up nan and hot, but when we asked for a tea they charged us £8 for pot off tea and tea bags,most off the places offer the tea with meal I suggest to the owner to make fresh and lose tea or powder tea I hope my review will help you I just have a comment on the tea because £8 for couple off Tea is too much. And serve the food hot please I was very hungry I couldn't say anything in that time. Emad.

M. M.

Lovely meal with the family and excellent customer service too! Food was delicious and of a very high quality too

Went there for the first time, for pregnancy cravings dinner. Both waitresses were very friendly, polite and helpful. They were playing and looking after my 22 month daughter, after she had her meal, while we were still eating. Had the lamb shank was extremely tender and other foods were very nice. Ordered a jug of ayran, but couldn't finish it as we were almost full and not out type of drink. We went a bit too late for leaving, it had passed their closing time. Still they're not upset at all, instead helping us to get our daughter ready and opening the door for us, saying that "you're very welcome anytime and we will serve you the best". Will definitely come back, many thanks!

I came to the Persian Palace last Saturday with my husband, daughter and grand daughters was absolutely delighted . The waiter couldn't have been more helpful, getting my wheelchair through the door and me comfortably settled. He was attentive, informative and patient. Thank you. We particularly chose this restaurant because we had visited Iran several times and had always rejoiced in the cuisine once you get away from the monotonous kebabs! I had a delicious lamb stew with okra, and we had the lovely authentic Persian hummus, yoghurt and cucumber and aubergine side dishes which were obviously prepared in the restaurant. The consistency and of course the flavour just can't be reproduced by the bland over processed dips you get elsewhere. The rice, now the rice was to die for. You could see at a glance it was much longer and fluffier than rice of other nations. We asked where the restaurant got it from and of course it was imported from Iran. Although the restaurant was unlicensed they were happy for us to take our own bottle of wine and provided stemmed glasses for it. The only criticism I can make is that I found the meal salty. This may just be a personal taste but I do advise your cook to use less than half the salt for British tastes. I shall certainly be back though. Dina

Omg I've just finished the most beautiful meal !! I used to eat this as a child and the flavours are just as I remberd them! My chicken was outstanding and the saffron rice is the best ever !!

A. Y.

Friendly staff, spacious place and comfortable atmosphere, prices are reasonable and similar to other Iranian restaurants, FOOD is Fantastic especially mix kebab with the tasty saffron rice 😋 I also recommend cucumber yogurt salad with the mix kebab and Mirza Gassemi as a starter if you are more than one.

Lovely food. Best Qorma Sabzi I've had for a while. Traditional and very homemade cooking and a lovely staff! I'd recommend it to any one who wants to try Persian Cuisine

M. B.

The food is incredible, highly recommend. I had a slight problem when I ordered to take away and they forgot to add some of my items but they immediately sent someone to deliver it which was very quick and nice of them to add extras. Highly recommend the chelo kebab!

A. S.

Not too fancy, but one of the most delicious Persian restaurants you could find in this part of the world. I could not resist saying "What a pleasant surprise and a nice find just the neck of my woods". It's an authentic Persian cuisine. A must go to place for those who really want to experience Persian hospitality, authentic Persian food taste and a traditional Persian environment. We loved every bit of our dining experience. Couldn't ask for more (oh well, maybe a belly dancer? lol, just kidding) Definitely recommended!

J. P.
