Pomegranate Persian Tea Room — Restaurant in England

A Hidden Gem in Great Ayton – The Persian Tea Room

Tucked away in the charming village of Great Ayton, the Persian Tea Room is an absolute delight – an authentic , flavourful escape that feels like stepping into another world.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a friendly , calming atmosphere and the most beautiful spread of Middle Eastern-inspired treats. The sun-dried tomato hummus is a standout – rich, savoury, and perfectly balanced, especially when paired with their warm, fluffy flatbreads. The pickled vegetables on the side are vibrant, tangy, and just the right amount of sharp to cut through the richness of the hummus.

The menu offers a delightful crossover of British and Middle Eastern flavours — from Turkish sweets to traditional Iranian cakes. On our visit, we ordered Baklava with ice cream. The layers of flaky pastry soaked in pistachio syrup, paired with cake and vanilla ice cream, were absolutely delicious — a memorable treat.

Although my visit was brief, I truly loved this little gem of a tea room — perhaps because of my fondness for Middle Eastern culture. I’ll definitely return when I...
