Nanoon Persian Restaurant

Saw that this place had glowing reviews so couldn't resist a visit. I came with a friend for an evening dinner. We were seated on the main floor of the restaurant which had simple yet elegant surroundings. The ambience was perfect in our view. The waiting staff immediately arrived at our table explaining the menu and recommending dishes. We decided to order the mixed dips for starters. You get to choose 4 from the list and it comes with a freshly baked flatbread. Our choices were both the aubergine dips, the yoghurt based dip and the hummus. Once they arrived we were surprised by the quantity! There was a lot of dip to get through. All of them were delicious and the flat bread was flat enough to not completely fill us up before our mains. For mains we opted for the lamb shank (a waiter recommendation) and the lamb kebabs. Again, nothing to fault about either of these dishes. They were 10/10 perfect in my view. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection, pull apart tender and drenched in an extremely flavourful liquid. The kebab was well seasoned and the spice blend was just right. Both dishes came with generous amount of rice. We definitely should've cut back on our dip starter order as we were close to full after finishing it!! The main course was still mostly finished though. Overall, an excellent experience and definitely one to try if you want to try some unique Middle Eastern flavours.

We had lamb chops and chicken here the other day. The lamb chops were very tasty and the quantity was also good. This particular chicken dish was a bit sweet, it was not the best but was fine. Both the dishes were served with rice. In starter we had a lentil soup which was very good. We also ordered sharbat to drink, the taste of the sharbat was good but even though they added ice in it, it was still a bit warm. We could only get a table outside, we called them to reserve just before reaching the restaurant, it was nice to get a table but it’s not very nice to sit at the restaurant’s door. The servers seemed very busy and were coming in and out all the time, which was very distracting. The environment inside looked good though. I liked the dressing of the servers, they were dressed in traditional Persian outfits.

My cousin Jackie came from Nottingham and I arrived from Toronto to have our first Persian meal at Naroon. Staff were very friendly and took care of us on our first visit. We sat outside an enjoyed several dishes. We liked chicken kebabs, lamb shanks, salad, and tried traditional drinks. We will be back. The best Persian in London.

What a discover! A small place, yet so warm thanks to the waiters who are all smiling and take care of you the whole diner. The dishes were stunning, from the starters till the dessert. I had the lamb shank, the meat was so tender, and the flavours hugs your taste buds. For the dessert, the waiter suggested us baklava ice cream, which was a first for me, and oh boy, what a taste, the best way to wrap up that really nice evening. I recommend 100%, don’t even hesitate if you want to discover Persian food.

A small restaurant but with great flavors & big hearts! The staff were so lovely and friendly. Food was delicious, specially the chicken cubes, meat cubes & lamb chops. We had few comments on the koobideh and they welcomed it. Dessert was delicious and the tea tasted great. We were offered some on the house treats at the end, which was a very nice touch because unlike Turkish & Iraqi restaurants, Persian restaurants usually don't offer anything to the customers! Overall, great experience and would definitely be back and have already recommended to a lot of friends. Forgot to say, rice is free refill 😁

There’s literally nothing to fault here, everything was so tasty and so good. This place sets a different kind of bar for a 5 star review. The fried aubergine starter was amazing with some of the flatbread. The lamb and kidney bean stew was superb, and the lamp chops were delicious as well. Service was amazing as well
