I stumbled upon Café Tehran one evening, well past the time most places were closing, and I’m so glad I did, the food here is absolutely brilliant. I first sat in for a quick meal, but since then, I’ve found myself coming back again and again for their takeaways.
The saffron chicken with barberry rice and the minced lamb kebab with saffron rice are easily some of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The meat is tender, juicy, and full of flavour, the kind that makes you stop mid-conversation just to appreciate it. I honestly don’t know how many people have discovered this place, but it deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

I haven’t tried everything on the menu yet, but if these dishes are anything to go by, Café Tehran is seriously underrated. The food’s authentic, packed with flavour, and feels made with genuine care. I’ll definitely be back to try more, this place has officially earned a spot on my...
Read moreWe went to this delightful place spontaneously as we were looking for food across Glasgow. We were welcomed by friendly staff and were presented with many many options which yet did not feel overwhelming either.
Went for koobideh (lamb kebab) with hummus which was decently yummy in flavour and texture, but the rice was brilliantly fragrant and fluffy. Portion size was definitely generous so value for money is there.
Brilliant home like food, ambience was different and welcoming. Staff brilliant and respectful. Peaceful music, and good variety of food and bonus dessert options.
Persian tea is served...

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. It felt like a warm and comfortable place to relax and enjoy a good meal.
I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to try some tasty Persian...
