Great food and service experience! I requested a combination of food unavailable on the menu - a lamb kebab on naan bread and a lamb kebab on rice. Sadly, I accepted my fate. Imagine my delight when I received an extra order of rice (free) when I was presented with my takeaway order. My host had a big smile and so did I! Service plus plus! Thank you!
I had an amazing dining experience at Persian Charcoal! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors and made from high-quality ingredients. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly attentive and caring, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. Highly recommend!
We stopped to eat here after a walk at Hagley Park. The place is very modern and different. We sat down and ordered the Family meal. We had to go to the restroom but couldn't find it. Apparently you have to get a key card to go to the bathroom across the glass doors. A little inconvenient but not an issue. Like I said it was a modern styled restaurant and not too big. The food arrived and it looked very good. My first bite I was impressed with how savory and tasty the kabob was. It was tender and full of spices. The rice was well cooked, and colorful. The Naan was warm and soft and not thin. The chicken kabob was juicy, flavorful and my toddler ate at least 5 big pieces. Apparently we did not get the chutney that goes with the meal but I didn't notice. I enjoyed my meal and got full since the plate was big enough to share with 6 adults and 2 kids and still had leftover. I did wish they had a dessert menu since I always love something sweet at the end of the meal. I do recommend this place if looking for a Persian place.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow—what an incredible meal! The meat was bursting with flavour, tender, and perfectly succulent. The bread was a solid 10/10, fresh and delicious, and the rice was buttery, tasty, and cooked to perfection. Amazing food at excellent prices, and the service was warm, generous, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend! $30 each so good
