Persian Flavours

Middle Eastern$$

From the family team of waitstaff and buttery curries, to the shelves laden with Iranian groceries, this unassuming suburban cafe oozes authenticity. Naan bread - fluffy, warm and charry - is perfect for mopping moreish butter chicken and goat curry. Lean, child-friendly koobideh (minced lamb kebabs) are served with salad and rice or plain naan, while whole tandoor-cooked chicken, marinated in yoghurt and spices, entices those yet to order with its smoky aroma and tanned skin. Traditional desserts such as akbar mashdi - ice-cream fragrant with saffron and rosewater - make for a refreshing finish.
