Persian Food Station — Restaurant in Bristol

WORST RESTAURANT EXEPERIENCE EVER. Where to begin, the service was non existent, from waiting 15 minutes for pur order to be taken, to our drinks taking 25 mins. The front of house are non existent and were told it was very busy......there were 6 other customers. The starters arrived after 40 minutes, some shop bought hummus with no flavour. Some yoghurt with no flavour and some warm paste that could have been digested earlier in the evening such was its questionable consistency. We should have walked out then, but we stayed. The regret among us was palpable. The mains arrived after waiting for over 1 hour. What arrived was enough flavourless rice on each plate to feed all the empty seats of those wise enough to not come here. Next up was some chips, delivered between courses and of the highest quality , sorry, I was thinking of somewhere else. These were crinkle cut oven chips. Only the finest mccains from persia will do. Next to this was overcooked poor quality flavourless meat. For the chef who was solely responsible for cooking this, stop. The most flavoursome thing we had was a glass of water. Oh yeah and nothing but birdsong came through the speakers ALL EVENING. This restaurant experience was a masterclass in multisensory torture and we paid for it. This is only a restaurant for the real masochists. Don't come here, just don't. Not even for a bet. Just...

Despite the negative reviews, which people must always look at and take note - wherever/whatever the place may be. And Despite my own prejudices about this place - from the outside looking in, this place never looks busy, looking in this place through the window, there was nothing inside and it felt like a money laundering front. Despite all of the above, I came here with my children and friends and can confirm this place is great

I don't understand the long wait for food someone mentions, no bad service- the waiter didn't talk to us but I assume English is not their first language, lady was lovely and the chef gave us a nod and smile. I don't understand the negative food reviews either, food was plentiful and delicious and the place accommodated for a family inside as well as for a table of older men as well as several other tables

Unfortunately we didn't take photos of our food as we tucked in and all was eaten, except some rice

Definitely come here again

Don't judge a book by its cover, give...

Honestly, this place didn’t live up to the hype at all. We picked this restaurant after reading some good reviews and even booked a table in advance. But when we got there, no one was at the front, and we stood around awkwardly until someone finally came over.

Even though we had a reservation, they just gave us a table right next to the toilets, not cool. The waiter came to take our order almost immediately before we had a chance to decide, which felt super rushed.

The service was pretty bad overall. We had to ask for basic stuff like ice and straws, and even then, it took forever. The starter tasted burnt, and the main course was just average, nothing special at all.

When it came time to pay, we waited ages because the owner was outside smoking, and the rest of the staff didn’t seem to care. Later, we realized they had overcharged us, but we were already too far away to go back.

In short, the service here is really poor, and the food isn’t worth it. Definitely wouldn’t...
