Delicious food cooked to perfection amazing service. Enjoyed every minute of the evening. I went with my husband and mother in law we all very impressed. The hospitality was so good we actually forgot we were in a restaurant because it felt like eating at home with friends. I would urge every one to enjoy the experience of eating in such a wonderful place. Oh and by the way very kind on your pocket.

First visit to Pistachio which won't be my last. Staff were really friendly and the food was great. We had the meat platter for three and it wasn't a problem when I asked to swap a portion of rice for a portion of chips. The platter was well presented and the meat was cooked perfectly. The chef came round to our table to say hello and check how we were, which was a nice touch. The wine we had was nice as well. We were too stuffed to try desert so can't comment on that. Another reviewer mentioned service charge being added to their bill. This didn't happen to us but I was happy to tip the server for being friendly and attentive.

What a lovely place! I was recommended this place by one of their regulars and I am so glad I listened to him! The couple who own it are so welcoming and we will definitely be making it one of our locals. Can’t wait to go back and try the pistachio ice cream!

Extremely friendly family run business. Very welcoming of both myself and my two dogs. They showed me to a table and were Incredibly helpful in assisting me in choosing a vegetarian meal with no trace of egg, according to my needs. They made a fresh meal for me and offered water for my dogs, which they appreciated. It has a very warm, cosy atmosphere with a real fire and ambient music.

Lovely Persian flavours at a reasonable price. Not cheap, but quality never is. It's a delight to have a change from the usual Indian and Chinese eat-at-home options, especially when as nicely cooked as this. The restaurant looks welcoming; I intend to try it very soon.

This is one of the best Persian restaurants I’ve been to - the food was delicious and the service was very friendly! It felt like we were eating at a friends house rather than a restaurant! The food was very fresh and tastes just like we make at home, except for the kebabs which were of course much better! Highly recommend!

Lovely family, run restaurant. The kebabs and stews (khoreshts) are absolutely delicious, well-cooked and well-presented. With friendly service--the family make sure you feel welcome and treat you as if you're guests in their home--and great food, we'll definitely be back. Fabulous new addition to the area!

We ate here on a Friday night. We found the owners very friendly, they explained the cuisine and suggested some dishes. We had a mixed starter and then I had the chelo kebab with rice and salad, very tasty. I recommend this as a tasty food and friendly service and atmosphere.
