The food is tasty and is served in large portions, yet prices are cheaper than any other restaurants. Great staff and service, the only point was they were a bit pushy about leaving our table to the point that refused to serve tea, however after a couple of minutes they changed their mind offered us free tea and baklava.

The food at Maman Restaurant was absolutely great. The koobideh kebab was really high-quality and saffron-infused, the portion size was fantastic, and the price was very reasonable. The Kashke Bademjan they served was also fantastic as a starter! Plus, their traditional saffron ice cream was amazing, and the saffron tea was perfect. The service was also excellent—special thanks to Mr. Mehdi for being so attentive and quick with our special requests. I definitely recommend this place to everyone because it was authentic persian cuisine!

Excellent cuisine especially the koobideh which is probably the best we have had in London. Generous portions. The salad was very fresh and the sauces were delicious. Reasonable prices and a great host in Petro. Highly recommend Will certainly go back.

This is a family restaurant. Went here with my family, and we were seated quickly. Service was also pretty good We got a mixture of different bits. The slow cooked leg of lamb was lovely paired well with the bougheleh pilau. Would highly recommend. The kubideh and chicken were also great, too! Mezze starters were really good, too. Would recommend

These guys really know what they are doing. Tried this Persian family style restaurant on a Saturday night (needs reservation) and had a fascinating meal (in a good way), with huge portions and efficient service. No alcohol, and no byob. No tap water. Prices very reasonable for what you get and plenty to bring home. Clean toilets, and possible to park nearby in evening.
