Walnut Persian Restaurant

We had dinner at Walnut Restaurant in Manchester for the first time. They were open until 11 pm on a weekday. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I ordered Joojeh Torsh for the main course. It was so delicious. I expected a smaller portion but they were generous with the portion. We enjoyed Persian sweets and saffron tea after dinner. It is a must at this restaurant! Overall, the food and the service were excellent. I will definitely come back in my next visit.

Iranian cuisine refers to Iran's culinary customs. Persian food is another name for Iran's culinary traditions, even though many Iranian ethnic groups have contributed to them. This is because the term "Persia" has historically been used to refer to Iran in the West. We tried the Istak which is a traditional Persian non-alcoholic malt beverage (Peach Flavour), Walnut Special Mixed Kebab - one skewer each of marinated lamb fillet, joojeh and koobideh served with grilled tomatoes and choice of rice/naan/salad or chips, Mast-O-Mosir - Shallot & Garlic mixed with thick strained home made yoghurt and finished with Saffron Tea. The tea pot was so fancy and cute at the same time. The ambience was amazing and so were the staff. As the food is freshly prepared and the restaurant usually is packed with foodies, it would take a bit longer to arrive. However, we enjoyed the entire experience 😊 Only when we consume food in its authentic form, without drawing comparisons to our own cuisine or palate, can we truly appreciate its beauty.

Months ago, I visited this beautiful restaurant. They gave me such amazing service and food that I had to write this review after months, and this is because it was amazing food. The best Persian food I had in Europe. Mandana and the young Kurdish gentlemen gave me such a nice feeling that I visited this restaurant three times in only four days in Manchester. I recommend this place strongly. Thanks, Mandana and Walnut.

Very nice place, familiar, very friendly staff. About the food: We ordered marinated olives and they were delicious and I ate it all. For mains we order item 26 I forgot the name but its chiken with walnut sauce and it was delicious, all with rice and salad, all together was so tasty. My partner ordered a lamb stew and it was very good and well done. The portions are big and the price it's fair for the portions, we took good to go because we couldn't finish everything. Overall very nice and we are looking foward to try the other plates. We came all the way from liverpool.
