Excelent atmosphere !!! New and refreshed restaurant! Very friendly staff. And very delicious food, best naan bread I have ever tried. Lamb and chicken grilled perfectly. Definitely recommend it and will be back very soon.
Another excellent evening at Darvish. Very friendly personable staff, interested to know our thoughts on the food and very informative about the origins of the dishes we ordered. Absolutely fantastic service and the food is consistently faultless and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend this restaurant (table of 4 22/12/17)
Darvish is under a new management. Everything was renovated and looks beautiful. I love coming here! The food is to die for. The portions are generous and there are many healthy and veggy options to choose from. The atmosphere is welcoming and I'll definitely be a regular customer.
Brilliant food that we finished off, even though we were all stuffed. Very friendly and attentive staff, and nicely decorated restaurant. Definitely worth a visit!
I went there with my colleagues on the opening night after refurbishment. It's a fab place to eat and of course the owner and the staff are great. A lovely ambience.
Great evening, excellent food. Darvish was packed full with a lovely atmosphere. Very happy for them that it is doing so well after the referbishment. Well worth a visit and it's excellent value
Amazing food really friendly staff would certainly recommend
A long-awaited refurbishment looks fantastic and the food is top class. Keep up the good job, guys.
Great place. Lovely food. Welcoming and helpful staff.
A great meal with friendly staff as always.! Thanks guys..
The smell of the freshly baked bread hits you as you walk in and it only gets better :)
Best food place in Leeds really
If you haven't visited this place then you are missing a treat. No alcohol licence but you are welcome to take your own.

Always great food (even if I cannot pronounce half the dishes). BBQ meats, mouthwatering stews and tasty little pastries. Vegetarians are well catered for and it is bring your own booze!
Absolutely loved every minute of our visit the staff was so welcoming and went above and beyond, food was mouthwatering and portion sizes was fantastic. Can’t wait to visit again and bring my family too will definitely be spreading the word for this restaurant thank you again
Very tasty food and excellent service ..
I can confidently say the mixed grill we tried in here is the best in leeds . Generous portions and lamb , kebab , steak and chicken shish were all very fresh and delicious . We had also “Doogh” as a drink which is a special sour version of Ayran !!
Starters were very rich in taste as well.
Staff are friendly ..👍
We also had Darvish tea for free .
Would highly recommend and will visit again ! 😊
I’ve been wanting to try Persian food for a while and let me tell you that it didn’t disappoint, the food was amazing, the atmosphere really good and the staff was super nice. Food wise the portions are nice sizes, if you buy a starter and a main you’ll spend something like 16/17 pounds and you’re definitely feel full, and in terms of flavours let me tell you that you’ll feel like you’re having a party inside your mouth, wow I’m so impressed with the quality and all the tangy and rich flavours of their food, it’s a place that I’m definitely coming back.
Fantastic food. Everything is authentic. Highly recommend if you are looking for Iranian food. They cooked some of the best lamb and Currys I've ever had, which is saying something because I've had lots of lamb and curry throughout my life.
My son and I recently had the most amazing Persian food at Darvish Restaurant. From the friendly staff to the flavorful dishes like lamb shank, chicken, Zereshk Polu, and Barg Kebab, everything exceeded our expectations. The warm atmosphere and authentic flavors made it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend Darvish Restaurant to all food lovers!
Another great restaurant you could quite easily pass by without noticing. The location is slightly concealed as it is sat back from the main road.
The restaurant itself felt cosy and homely, very simple decor. One of the benefits of it being away from the main road was, it was quiet (no noise from traffic)
The staff are friendly and very helpful, allowing you the time required to browse the menu without constantly asking if you are ready to order.
We visited as a group of four and all ordered a variety of foods from the menu. There were no complaints about the food. The food was cooked fresh and tasted really nice, great portions and real nice flavours.
The desserts ordered were delicious and the teas were also fantastic . I highly recommend the "special darvish tea"
Overall, this was a great find and I would definitely recommend this place.
The only negative was, the pricing seemed a little expensive so, it wouldn't be a place I'd visit regularly but, I'd definitely visit again
Went there this evening. Food is delicious, nourishing and really comforting with generous portions. Great selection of veggie options too. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth the trip out of town if you’re not local.
Really tasty food, excellent value for money and friendly service. Would have liked to have seen more variety on the menu as at least 50% is lamb (and we don't eat lamb, preferring veggie-based dishes over anything).
My absolute favourite restaurant in Leeds.
The food is always delicious and tastes so fresh and the staff are always so welcoming and wonderful!
I've been going for years and have never been disappointed.
Very highly recommended!
Got there at 8.30pm, had to leave by 9pm. Didn't get to enjoy the restaurant as much but the food was still soooo delicious. Been going here for years and it just keeps getting better and better. Staff are always so lovely and they got us out within our time frame, felt bad for putting on that demand. Had leftovers today and I didn't want the meal to end. Can't wait to go back with my family again. So many good memories here :( happy sad tears. Thanks you x
Waw!!what a great place, went there for first time after a great day out with family at Roundhay Park, Food was amazing, hospitality was great. I was soo surprised 😮 that my 2 fussy kids loved the food, lol guess their taste buds are growing finally,They ordered extra lamb kebabs that
They loved soo much. Deffo will be visiting this hidden gem again with other family and friends. Thanks guys.
One of the best Persian restaurant. Love the food and atmosphere here and the Tea.
Great restaurant. First time I tried Persian food and I'm impressed by the taste of the dishes. The owner is really nice. Will come back for sure.
Absolutely delicious food; fast and attentive service.
I had an aubergine starter with naan, and a checken kebab with saffron rice for the main. My drink was green tea.
The aubergine starter was perfectly spiced, and the naan was fresh, soft on the outside with a wee bit of delightful crisp in the middle. I used steps of naan to scoop up the aubergine and it was great together.
The chicken was soooo juicy, nicely cooked and the special Persian condiment next to the salt and pepper makes the flavour pop even more! The saffron rice came with some. Butter on the side, and It was fluffy and soft, delicious!
The tea was even better than I expected, with some mint leaves and other goodness in there too! The tealight to keep the pot warm was a nice touch.
The decor was lovely, nice atmosphere, good food and fantastic service. I'll be back!
Very friendly and accommodating staff. We had two vegetarians in our group, and they were catered for without any problems.
We just got a takeaway, which we had to collect. But wow it was so worth the journey. We ordered a mixed grill for 3 people which came with a lot of sides and extras, including rice, salad, sauces, grilled tomatoes etc. The meats were all absolutely delicious, a really good selection and VERY generous portion. Everything was perfectly flavoured and it was not overly salted or greasy, so it felt like a fresh and healthy meal. I would definitely order from there again and I’d like to try eating in next time.
Very happy with my order.
Darvish is a hidden gem! Here you will experience amazing flavours from Persia. Try the Merza Ghesemi with bread to start...and pretty much any main! The service is excellent too...friendly and warm welcome.
The food was fantastic and well presented. Reasonably priced. Unfortunately we were the only diners on that particular Saturday night, which we didn't mind because the service was marvellous but atmosphere was lacking. We will continue to come though - the food is very very good.
