Persian Grill Kitchen — Restaurant in Milton Keynes

We were craving for Persian food (family of five) so googled and found this to be the nearest but reviews weren’t detailed so I was a bit hesitant but took the chance n drove 40 minutes to milton keynes.

The postcode is not accurate as the restaurant is in industrial area butonce you reach, look around for fairy lights and that’s your restaurant. Google maps is probably more accurate than waze.

The place was nice, clean and cozy.

Table service wasn’t available due to huge volume of take away orders we could see so we settled n ordered koobideh, Sultani and mumtaz from the menu n some humus n chips.

Humus arrived in the first ten minutes and it was really flavoursome but i think the portion could be a little bit bigger.

The only criticism is it took around 40 minutes to get the food (probably bcz it was Friday evening at 7) but honestly it was well worth it. Enough portions and Very well presented, The kebabs were really moist and delicious, Safron rice was well flavoured and joojeh was super rich. Each and every dish was well made with love and care. True Persian taste.

This place is a hidden treasure and service with a smile 😊

I am a fussy eater and i know how persian food tastes like as i am well traveled and I have no hesitation in giving this place Five Stars ⭐️ if not more!

Its not a huge fine dining place but if you’re looking for true persian taste, I’d highly...

TRULY A HIDDEN GEM. Try the 'Mumtaz' (a dish of lamb and chicken skewered kebabs served with rice), but ask for 'zereshk' rice (see picture), which means you get the little berries, if you like to try new things. The quality of food here is on par with many top london persian restaurants. The quality of preparation of the rice (a real halmark of persian cuisine) was first rate. The real crowd pleaser at many persian restaurants is often the 'joojeh' (chicken kebab flavoured with saffron). This place again has first rate joojeh.

The location is within an industrial estate. Some may enjoy this as it lends an air of this truly being a great find and is ok for informal family dinners in a café environment. But I dont think you would do business dinners here for example.

My wife and I are over the moon to have discovered this place locally, and really impressed that this is towards the better end of the spectrum, when viewed besides the plethora of similar restaurants on the Uxbridge Road in Ealing. The location isn't the best, but the quality of food is excellent... certainly superior to many other grill restaurants, be it turkish, indian or similar. If you're in the market for honest family meal, and think the image below is reasonable for 8 pounds, I am happy to endorse this place.

Post script: They have a dozen or so stonebaked pizzas on the menu which I...

Unbelievably cold in the restaurant and food quality is just too inconsistent, sometimes reasonable but often undercooked and rushed after waiting a significantly long time. I have also tried a few deliveries from here now and seem to just wait and wait, the staff never seem to actually know how long it will take to cook or for the driver once he's left. And food is inconsistently fresh, I can only assume deliveries are being queued up together to save on petrol costs (even though I am paying extra for the delivery!)

The main reason this has dropped right down to 1 star is that this place seems to lack a very basic understanding of hygiene, the staff will move from prepping raw chicken straight to serving a customer, cash and computer being touched here after simply wiping hands on a towel. I have also seen them moving from the prep area straight to the cooking area, you can actually even see a picture on their website of where they have cooked skewers on the fire, directly next to (touching!) the raw ones that have just been put on the grill.

I really would heed this warning and avoid this place if you value your insides at all.

.. Wish this could have been different. Fingers crossed for a real Persian restaurant to open...
