Nice people, good food. Clean place and reasonable pricing. Mixed grill was shared between four, plenty of excellently grilled meats. Perfectly cooked, fluffy long grain rice, crispy chips and OK ‘naan’. Be careful with allergies, no official info available and spotty staff knowledge. Good visit.
I came to this restaurant based on my father’s recommendation; he told me that he used to eat at this restaurant 20 years ago, and yet this is one of the best Persian restaurants around here.
The owner of the restaurant, Davood, is very hospitable and friendly with the customers. Everything in the restaurant is freshly made every day.
Absolutely delicious food; highly recommended.
They also have upstairs extra tables and spaces for family and friends' occasions.

A Persian Culinary Jewel
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
Stepping into this lovely Restaurant is like entering a Persian paradise in the heart of New Castle. The ambiance immediately captivates you with its elegant blend of traditional Persian aesthetics and contemporary sophistication. The intricate decor and warm, welcoming atmosphere set the stage for an exceptional dining experience.
The menu is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Persia. Every dish is a celebration of flavors, meticulously prepared with the finest ingredients. The signature Kebab Koobideh is a revelation – tender, richly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. For vegetarians, the Mirza Ghasemi offers a delightful explosion of flavors, ensuring a memorable meal for all palates.
What distinguishes this place is its impeccable attention to detail. The staff, with their deep knowledge of Persian cuisine and culture, provide service that is both attentive and warm. Their insightful recommendations enriched our dining experience, making it not just a meal, but a journey through the heart of Persia.
More than just a place to eat; it's a culinary landmark for those who cherish the depth and diversity of Persian cuisine. Whether you're a longtime aficionado or new to the wonders of Persian food.
Just have recently moved to Newcastle from outskirts of London. I have been to the best Persian restaurants in London (Persian palace, Molana, Piano,… the list goes on) but this place has phenomenal food and easily beats them. Generous portions, fresh and homemade! 10/10 experience, very decent price and cannot recommend it enough.
We recently visited Persia . We were a party of four, including two adults and two children.
We ordered the mixed grill for three, which was really good. It came with a variety of meats and vegetables, including chicken kebab, lamb kebab, chicken wings, and lamb chops. The humus and freshly baked bread were delicious as well. We also had Persian cocktails—they were on special that night! Everything was so good except for one thing: the quantity of food we got wasn't enough to fill our bellies.
If you're looking for a parking space nearby, be prepared to walk at least 500 yards in any direction—we ended up paying £62.35 total (which includes service charges).
Walked past not even thinking of eating there, but thank god we did, amazing food, atmosphere, service, and was easily one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in a long time. The rice, prawns and chicken were all perfect and the saffron ice cream and baklava was incredible. Only had Persian food a couple of times but it was by far the best ive tasted. If I end up living near here I will be coming very frequently.
Came from Liverpool to New Castle and we were looking for a Persian restaurant and we found a Perfect one,
Food was very good and well designed,
Staff were kind and polite especially a lady named Maryam.
And nothing is like a pot of Persian chai after food :)
It's the BEST Persian Foods in Newcastle.
Every time I come to Newcastle, I always visit this place for lunch or dinner. This place is one of my favourite restaurants in the whole UK!
The food is freshly prepared and very delicious. Excellent service and the staff amiable and lovely. They make sure that we feel welcome and homely. This is what makes this place unique.
It is highly recommending this restaurant! Food is authentic - You won't be disappointed!
We had such a great experience! Thank you so much for a fantastic night! I will come back again!

A group of four went there to celebrate a friend's birthday on the 23rd May 2022 and again two more times in 2023 to celebrate other occasions. Overall we had a lovely time with probably best Persian food in the city. Highly recommended.
The best Iranian restaurant I have tried in a really really long time 🤤 honestly just writing about it makes my mouth drools. I loved everything I have ordered. Service was excellent, food took a while to arrive but nonetheless it was worth it! 💯/💯! Recommended
Lovely restaurant. Five of us ate there early on a Saturday afternoon so it was quiet. The Happy Hour lunch from 12-4 was excellent value for money and the food was so delicious and tasty. We'll be going back again in the near future.
Delicious food. Excellent service. So enjoyed
Fantastic portion, lovely succulent mixed grill, the rice was unbelievably soft and light quite possibly the best I've had.. The baclava was sensational too. Couldn't ask for more. 5*.
Great find and very close to the train station. Loved the Ghormeh sabzi ai ordered which is my favourite Persian dish and nicely followed by fresh mint tea. Friendly service and great value for money as well.
Very delicious authentic Persian food and friendly staff. I liked most the soup. Worth visiting. What I don't like about it is that it serves halal food but serving alcohol. I had a chance to sit upstairs in a quiet space.
Excellent experience food was tasty lovely staff, will not be my last visit of course!
The taste takes me back to home ❤️
