Fantastic Persian food that has been elevated to a new standard. If you haven't had Iranian food before and are interested in trying it, then this is a good restaurant to go to for your first try.
Went with some family and was pleasantly surprised at how this restaurant has taken standard Iranian dishes and improved not just the presentation for them, but also raising the flavours for some dishes as well.
For the starter we had Kashk_o Bademjan (Baked, crushed Aubergine with extra trimmings added in) served with in house made stone baked bread... Delicious!
We also had the Salad (can't quite remember the name, which had a mix of cucumber, mint and pomegranate) which was really nice and well presented.
For mains we had the Makhsoos – Barg o Koobideh (sliced tender lamb loin fillet and one skewer of ground shoulder of lamb),
The Baghali Polow – Lamb Shank,
And although I can't remember the name for it was the mixed kebab with Lamb and chicken shish. All of them were served with either fragrant/saffron rice and were all very tasty.
As for the other details, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the venue was quite fitting and clean, overall a solid standard for Iranian cuisine.
Lovely food from this restaurant. I ordered via delivery app and the food arrived quickly and hot, and as shown in the photo it was packaged well and kept the heat in.
The portion size of the chicken kebab was really big which was great.
The reason for 4 star is the Calamari portion was small, it had 3 Calamari's which compared to elsewhere you can usually get 4-6 so it's not drastic but 3 Calamari's for £8.50 in my opinion is expensive.
But I'll definitely order here again and hopefully one day dine in the restaurant I'll just avoid the Calamari and get something else.
Had Sunday lunch at Crystal as a party of 4. The food was excellent and the service was welcoming and friendly.
Something worth noting: the place is spotless clean, from the kitchen to the loo. Hygiene brownie points for this.
Will be returning.
