I like the food here. Typical, end of the road middle eastern fusion place and it's certainly not expensive. The decor is nothing to write home about but the meats are well marinated and full of flavour. My favourite item on the menu is the homous with pita bread. Decent place to grab a quick bite to eat before a night out!
If you live around Croydon and are looking for a place to hold a meal for an occasion, Abshar's the one. Its traditional decor sets a homely atmosphere, along with the Persian background music. I would recommend the platter if you are going in a group as the portion sizes are big and enough to fill everyone. During my last visit there were 8 of us sharing 2 platters with the bill coming up to just £10 pp! The platters come with a range of different meats, 2 portions of rice and salad. Their jugs of fresh orange juice also compliment the meal.
Overall, we had a great experience but the only complaint would be the slow service :(
My husband and i ve' been in Abshar few times now.I find it quiet delightful atmosphere in side,beautiful traditional decoration.The food is so delicious it worth the money.Waitress are very friendly.Good customer service.We would recommend it to try it out.
The original Indian restaurant we were going to was closed, so we decided to try Abshar and we were glad we did.
With my Iranian friend I've been to many excellent Persian restaurants and Abshar is definitely amongst the top 10.
The service was friendly and accommodating whilst professional and the food excellent and delicious. I can highly recommend this restaurant for its food and service.
Had a sumptuous lunch at this restaurant. The host is friendly and suggested a lot of traditional dishes passionately the quantity and taste of the dishes were outstanding loved the ambience as well
The food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
I had my dads memorial lunch at Abshar with my family and friends and although it was a difficult day, the atmosphere, service food and support made it effortless. Thank you for the fabulous Iranian feast enjoyed by all
Very beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food is delicious and well worth the money spent. 100% coming back again.
Amazing food and incredible service. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. The home made bread made in front you is a treat to see, lovely lamb and aubergine and a great menu. Nice to try different flavours and we were treated to saffron ice cream at the end. Delicious!
Have been going to this restaurant for a number of years now, it has recently been taken over by new management and it's almost the same as before. The meat there is all Halal which is good but they have put their own twist on Persian cuisine. It's quite pricey but it's an enjoyable experience due to5 very nice, friendly and attentive staff.
I had a private birthday event at Abshars and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was great the drinks were reasonably priced and the staff and atmosphere were amazing! Thank you so much for making the night memorable and allowing us to sing karaoke out into the streets. We all had the best time and would come back again and again!
Booked Abshar to cater for a staff party on 30th September. The food was tasty, plentiful and a wide variety, catering for all dietary needs (meat eating, vegetarian and vegan). Compliments to the chef - the food arrived hot, was kept warm and Arman and his colleague who delivered, explained the dishes so we could label them correctly. Would highly recommend Abshar Croydon, who's catering service was second to none. Will definitely use them again.
Came here last night for a meal with my work colleagues. The manager and staff catered to all our needs, nothing was too much trouble. Food was absolutely lovely! We had a big table of 11 and they were able to cater for all of us. We had starters and a main. Very impressed. Highly recommend this restruant.
