Reviews Paradise

My all time favorite persian restaurant in Glasgow!!! I'd go back again and again for their ghormeh sabzi and zereshk polo ba morgh! The kebabs on the other hand didn't tickle my fancy. They were seasoned with basic seasoning. I wish they have gone more eccentric on the kebab seasoning. Stick with the stews and you will be very satisfied.

I went to paradise with a few friends, this is a great little Persian restaurant. I would recommend the sharing platters for both starters and main as it adds a very nice social element to the dining experience. The hummus was a highlight and all of the meat was cooked to a much higher standard than your average take-away or local kebab shop.

Absolutely tremendous. First visit to this restaurant and oh wow, so impressed! Food was absolutely delicious, friendly & helpful staff and a nice intimate atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back! The sticky spicy aubergine & the pistachio dip were the absolute stand outs but honestly every single dish was just incredible. 10/10!

Heard about this gem from my daughter so made the trip to check it out for myself with my better half. First impressions make the difference and we had booked it using their booking system as it was a Saturday I didnt want to leave it to chance and I am glad i did as walk ins were being politely turned away. We arrived 20 mins early and rather than being turned away to come back at the allotted time (there isnt a waiting area) the host politely had a look at her booking system and temporarily sat me down at a vacant table while our table was getting ready. We ended up requesting to stay where we were and they accommodated this. This was an common theme, accommodating when clearly very busy, great work. Atmosphere and decor spot on, Iranian themed and an partially open kitchen added to the atmosphere and I forgot to mention the lovely smell of fresh cooked food when you enter the restaurant tells you that you are in for something special. Now onto the menu, simple and descriptive, one page with a not overbearing selection. We ordered for starters, Naan, trio of dips, diced potato fries, spicy tond chicken kebabs, and stick spicy aubergine. We were blown away. The food received was simply on a whole new level, fresh tasting and explosions of flavours in our mouths was consistent. The trio of dips complemented with the naan, sublime. Hard to pick out a favourite, if i had to it would be the pistachio dip as I am a nut fan and pistachios I have as of my top 3 nuts. So i was over critical and not disappointed. The fries were triple cooked and garnished to perfection, the chicken was tender and succulent, again mixing this with the dips added to the experience positively. My only criticism is the naans while lovely when received go cold a little quick but some may not mind this, it didnt bother me but did my wife, maybe if they can be presented in a way that they stay warm longer than they do could be looked at (but as this is my review no points marked down from me ☺️). The standout dish was the stick spicy aubergine, they are probably the one dish that made me think, was the 50 mile trip worth it, YES YES YES, if you like aubergines, then be prepared, actually even if you dont like aubergines or never had aubergines, please just try this dish, i thought i had died and gone to heaven. The portions are so generous for this dish and all the dishes that after this melee my wife and I were stuffed. ……and we had also ordered a main, oh dear. So for future reference all of the above was enough to make us full. So should you want to try and go for a main my advice would be to cut out 2 of the above and then share a main. We ordered the special chicken which is offered with a nan, saffron rice or fried potatoes, we asked for rice and ordered a naan also. Presented beautifully and again the meat was spot on and succulent and expertly cooked…..top points for your chefs. They provided butter for the rice and i have to say, I am not a rice fan, I’m converted, i just wish we had the room to put it, we had been interacting with the polite staff who were amazing and they provided a takeaway box to take it home. For drinks they have a good selection of wines which i could see, however as we dont drink we opted for something that caught my eye and if you blink you may miss it as its the last drink item on their menu, which is a shame because it should be front and center it was that good…..doongh (apologies if spelt incorrectly) what a drink, its a carbonated yogurt drink with walnuts and mint on the rocks, my head went as ive had plenty of yoghurt drinks but carbonated, no, we ordered one, to try, my better half took one sip and said you need to get your own haha, i did and i could see why, light, refreshing and simply amazing, best yoghurt drink I’ve had in a long while. So in summary, book a table and go visit this fantastic restaurant in glasgow, you will be absolutely blown away. Well done. I’ll be back for sure. Just saw some reviews around restricted table times, when booking online it tells you when its required back, no issues.

Love everything about this place, excellent service, delicious food at a reasonable price. Sorry about the blurry pics.

Tasty food, lady with curly hair was very helpful, understanding and efficient. Nice interior decor too! Chicken was great, rice was great, Falafel was great, baklava with ice cream was great!

Absolutely loved this restaurant! I have been wanting to try rhis restaurant for ages and it certainly didn't disappoint. Highly recommended :)

Great food. Flavoursome. Very reasonably priced.

Had an excellent lunch. The starters were all huge portions and all were extremely tasty. Staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They had to deal with a table of very unpleasant, loud people - and handled it very professionally.
