Fantastic Persian food that has been elevated to a new standard. If you haven't had Iranian food before and are interested in trying it, then this is a good restaurant to go to for your first try. Went with some family and was pleasantly surprised at how this restaurant has taken standard Iranian dishes and improved not just the presentation for them, but also raising the flavours for some dishes as well. For the starter we had Kashk_o Bademjan (Baked, crushed Aubergine with extra trimmings added in) served with in house made stone baked bread... Delicious! We also had the Salad (can't quite remember the name, which had a mix of cucumber, mint and pomegranate) which was really nice and well presented. For mains we had the Makhsoos – Barg o Koobideh (sliced tender lamb loin fillet and one skewer of ground shoulder of lamb), The Baghali Polow – Lamb Shank, And although I can't remember the name for it was the mixed kebab with Lamb and chicken shish. All of them were served with either fragrant/saffron rice and were all very tasty. As for the other details, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the venue was quite fitting and clean, overall a solid standard for Iranian cuisine.

This is one of the most underrated restaurants ever because everyone should be raving about how good it is. One of the best Persian restaurants I’ve ever been to in London. Food is always well cooked and fresh and service is lovely. Prices pretty reasonable too.

Lovely food from this restaurant. I ordered via delivery app and the food arrived quickly and hot, and as shown in the photo it was packaged well and kept the heat in. The portion size of the chicken kebab was really big which was great. The reason for 4 star is the Calamari portion was small, it had 3 Calamari's which compared to elsewhere you can usually get 4-6 so it's not drastic but 3 Calamari's for £8.50 in my opinion is expensive. But I'll definitely order here again and hopefully one day dine in the restaurant I'll just avoid the Calamari and get something else.

Food is beautiful, authentic and great quality. Super friendly staff who go out of their way to please customers. We have ordered very large quantities for family events and they went above and beyond to make sure we had outstanding food. A real gem in Croydon.

Today we had the pleasure of dining at Crystal, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped in, the inviting atmosphere captivated us, a perfect blend of elegance and coziness. The food was the true highlight of the evening. Each dish was an impeccable work of art, bursting with flavour and crafted with the utmost care. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delight for the senses. Equally commendable was the top-notch service provided by the attentive staff. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail, making sure our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire evening. An authentic Persian food! Thank you!

Had Sunday lunch at Crystal as a party of 4. The food was excellent and the service was welcoming and friendly. Something worth noting: the place is spotless clean, from the kitchen to the loo. Hygiene brownie points for this. Will be returning.
