Mahdi Restaurant

Can’t beat Mahdi for an authentic Persian restaurant experience. Have been coming here for many years and whilst the prices have increased recently, the decor and ambience keeps me coming back. Definitely worth a visit Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options are pretty decent for a Persian place. Lots of nuts (although avoidable) as is customary in Persian food. Sunflower oil used in almost all dishes, so be warned if you have that particular allergy.

I've been to this restaurant several times. The food is v good. However, the service is not impressive. Some looked tired and some very lazy. I asked them politely pack the remaining food. I was shocked when they brought me empty plastic box. And the the surprise when I saw them do it for other customers. They need to work hard to improve the service.

Very delicious food and pleasant atmosphere.

It 3 stars restaurant not more. I took a Tahchin ته چیم and it was a joke compared with other Iranian restaurants in London, also they sell green salad under the name of Cesar salad. Sorry but I don't recommend at all. They have a reputation but I think it goes back to many years ago,

No complaints about the food, it was really tasty - we ordered a mixed grill spread. Service could be better though, we ate in the late evening and it was clear that the staff didn’t want us to order any tea or coffee as they all put their coats on and were waiting for us to finish without approaching us to enquire about drinks or dessert. Part of me can appreciate that but if you accept customers and we are still within the opening hours then we deserve the full service.

Use to one of the best persian restaurant but not any more .

This place is so beautiful, the food is great everything from the appetizers to the main course. Absolutely divine with great service and a beautiful view!
