Mother Restaurant is a hidden gem in North Finchley, London. It is an Iranian restaurant that offers authentic and delicious food. The restaurant has a traditional Iranian atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I recently visited Mother Restaurant and was very impressed with the quality of the food. I ordered the Koobideh Kebab, which was cooked to perfection and was very juicy and flavorful. The rice was also delicious, and the salad was fresh and refreshing. I would highly recommend Mother Restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Iranian dining experience.
I had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic, bringing the flavors of Persia to life with every bite. The owner's warm hospitality added a personal touch to the evening, making me feel right at home. From the flavorful kebabs to the aromatic rice dishes, every item on the menu was a delightful journey for the taste buds. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. I can't wait to visit again and explore more of their exquisite offerings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional Persian dining experience!
This is a lovely Persian restaurant set in the heart of Ballards Lane, Finchley. From when you open their doors you'll step into a very traditional Persian style atmosphere. The waiter greeted us very nicely and explained to us the dishes on the menu. The portions are quite generous compared to other local restaurants so order cautiously unless you've skipped lunch and tucking into dinner & quite hungry. We ordered humous, yogurts, bread, soup, meat platter, salad (not realising that they give you a gigantic bowl of salad as complimentary). It was all delicious. I expected the rice to be some what seasoned but it was just plain rice but they give you a big portion. The prices are very reasonable and a very friendly environment.
The salad is on the house. The portion was more than 4 people. The sauce on the salad was vinegar & walnut, worth to try it.
Starter: we ordered "mast-e-mousir" (it is kind of yogurt). Compared to other restaurants, it's bowl was significantly bigger! We had "Kashk-e-Bademjoon" containing walnut, onion, aubergine & kashk. It tasted delicious. However, bear in mind that you need to order bread separately for this dish.
Main: we ordered "Kebab makhsous". It tastes good. The tender fillet kebab tasted delicious. Also, we ordered "Shivid baghali ba mahiche". The mahicheh (shank) was a lot, one person can not definitely finish it. However, its taste was not good. I do not recommend it.
Dessert: we had faloude bastani which was good.
The staff were nice. Finding a parking may take some time. In overall, I recommend the place.
Authentic, delicious and generous portions. Salad with walnut sauce is on the house. Attentive and good service. If you are a fan of Persian street food this is your place.
Have been here millions times. The dish No. 18, lamb neck, is AMAZING! Let me say in this way - if your kids are not good then you take them here, after they take the dishes, they would crying out and say’ oh~~mama~~~’. Recommend definitely :)
Good food all round and probably the best Iranian restaurant I’ve been to so far in London!
I recently had the opportunity to dine at Mother Restaurant, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive! Amazing service from kourosh! I highly recommend trying their plant-based dishes, as they are truly outstanding. It's a great place to enjoy a healthy and satisfying meal.
Would definitely visit again!
Very good persian food, huge portions, and reasonable price.
We had a lovely experience there. The staff is friendly and guides well about the dishes and the portion. Food was served in authentic way. Kebab were good and juicy but Lamb shank was the best among all. Every dish portion is sufficient for more than one persons. The prices are reasonable.
Really tasty Persian food with generous portions and reasonably priced.
Good quality food, big portion, and nice presentation. Friendly staff, one of my favourite places to eat Iranian food.
Amazing food I had a great time there. Very tradition atmosphere and cuisine. The owner and also the server were very welcoming. Made me feel as I was back in Iran. I came with my friends from london and they absolutely loved it. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town from San Diego California. Merci !!
Amazing Iranian restaurant. Love the food and the interior. Highly recommend this place.
1) Excellent service - staff members Kourush and Mohammad were attentive, helpful and responsive today, but waiters are consistently great.
2) High quality food - always fresh, and very generous portion sizes.
3) Clearly a very well managed restaurant. Would highly recommend

Best Iranian food you’ll taste!!
Everyone is so friendly, and the service is very quick.
Prices are also exceptionally reasonable.
The restaurant design is very nice, very traditional.
The food was fresh and there was a variety to choose from. The food portion was generous, meat very tender, rice full of flavour and everything was delicious. Prices are very good. Service was friendly, accommodating and we were well looked after. Warmly recommend.
Went here today for my Mum’s bday! The food was prepared to a high standard. The portions were large enough to take food home for the next day and it was presented impressively. The waiters were pleasant and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was memorable.
I have struggled in the past to find Persian restaurants with decent options for vegetarians. Pretty much all of the starters were veggie and every one of them memorable - the vinegar and walnut salad dressing was particularly impressive. There weren’t many options for mains however the lentil stew I ordered far surpassed what I’ve eaten anywhere else - the ingredients were flavoursome and the aubergine was cooked to perfection.
One of the best Persian restaurants I’ve eaten at in London. Deffo recommend!
