Tanoor Persian Cuisine

Very quiet at Friday lunchtime, we were the only ones until a loud vegan arrived, and unfortunately continued to yell about her veganism religion throughout the remainder of our meal. We had our usual at Persian restaurants: koobideh (minced lamb grilled on skewers) with their moreish garlic naan and the chicken (with bones) and rice. Our first visit but not our last.

Very tasty meal. Efficient friendly service. We really enjoyed our evening, and will certainly be back!

Very nice kebab and good portions. Really happy with service and friendly staff. Went for my uncle kammys birthday.

I was a huge fan of this place, and was delighted that South London at last had a decent Persian restaurant, as previously I had been travelling to North London to get my Koobideh fix. I will be honest and say the food is very nice, however a recent significant hike in prices, coupled with the fact that the portions sizes are far smaller than its North London rivals has massively put me off this place. Unfortunately I cant justify paying over the odds even though it is a rare treat. When i questioned the overnight 20% increase i was told that it is because they are now VAT registered. It`s a shame. An Iranian friend of mine came with me and was shocked at the prices and portion sizes on a recent visit, the last visit. We also ordered a couple of beers as we saw Cobra on draught, however the waiter brought out two small bottles as the Draught wasn`t working. This wasn`t mentioned when we ordered,Its a trivial point but you are effectively paying twice the price for beer when you only have small bottles vs draught and i find it a little underhand when restaurants use this tactic.In their defence perhaps the rent on this stretch of road has forced the owners to raise the prices as there are a number of restaurants that have folded there recently. For me though I have my own overheads and ill be taking my hard earned cash elsewhere from now on.

Had been looking forward to visiting based on the amazing reviews. I’m sorry, it was very average. Service not amazing was left without a drink for main course despite taking empty bottle away. Lamb was actually pretty bland and uninteresting. The thinly sliced fillet version has the most flavour (we ordered a variety of dishes) but nothing life changing. Some dishes come with a herb salad that contains an incredible amount of herbs like several bunches of tarragon, mint and parsley impossible to eat. Bread I thought was freshly cooked but lacked any seasoning, just very bland really. I wanted to love this place, but it just didn’t happen.
