Dumpling

This is my usual to go for special events/meeting up with my friends and family. I always enjoyed this establishment that I have visited over 10+ times so far. I was happy with the food, the chicken and their traditional rice is always spot on and my friends throughly enjoyed hers also. However, she ordered the yogurt drink which I am familiar with and I am certain of what the taste is meant to be and I found that I strongly feel that we were given an alternative which was their mint sauce that’s served on the table upon first arrival. I had raised this issue with our waitress who understood and replaced it quickly and the second thing I had spotted is that they now charge an additional £3.50 for added on barberries for their rice. I hadn’t known this as I assume this is a new rule for them & had to ask before paying the bill.

Wow, I was totally blown away by this place! I've been living in Kilburn for 20 years but this was my first visit to Kish. Food was amazing, portions very big and service super friendly. Will definitely be back. The mix grill for 2 which would have easily fed 3 adults. Fried aubergine was really flavoursome and meat very tender.

So, I read a lot of the reviews on here and decided to take a chance on Kish. Like many others, it’s right across the street from our hotel, the Marriott. There’s a lot of 5 ⭐️ reviews for the food, and I agree that the food is definitely 5 stars. I didn’t find it to be too expensive, but being from the USA, I’ve found most things to be cheaper in the UK. I ordered the hummus with a basket of naan. There was A LOT of naan! Like 12 pieces! When I order naan in the US, I get 4 pieces. My husband ordered the chicken soup. It was very good. We both got a glass of wine. They are generous with their portions. For dinner I ordered the chicken kabobs. My husband ordered the chicken and lamb kabobs. They came with saffron jasmine rice and a small salad. It’s a lot of rice! I couldn’t even eat half of it. Everything was very tasty. The only issue we had was that after the meal we never saw the waiter again. He never came back. We were never offered water, another glass of wine, dessert, coffee, the check, a to-go box, NOTHING. Eventually I asked another waitress if we could please get the check. I saw her go over to our waiter who was by the front, point to us and tell him. Neither he, nor her, nor anyone else ever brought us the check?!? I don’t know what is going on with this place. I told my husband, “Maybe we will get his attention if we start to leave!” So we got up and went to the front. Still, nothing. So we had to ask the gentleman at the front if we could pay. He finally obliged us. Honestly, if you’re going to purposefully ignore your customers for so long I would not be shocked if some people were to walk out on you. Not saying it’s ok but you don’t exactly act like getting paid is important to you. It seemed like a huge inconvenience for us to pay! We must’ve waited at least 20-25 minutes to pay the bill. For this reason alone I give service 3 stars. But before this everything seemed fine. Very strange. Altogether our bill was £58 including their 12.5% gratuity. I would recommend ordering to go so you don’t have to deal with the staff since others have also complained about the staff being rude.

Although it was raining and I knew the place for a few years. Now with the new expansion it looks Grand for the standards of Kilburn but it is just on the beginning of Kilburn High opposite the big Hotel. So I enjoy the meal, I sat outside to see the rain but staff considerate to my well being. The Cardamon tea was delicious after my meal. I only would like that they could bring along with the tea a small sweet as other place give at courtesy. Overall I recommend and I will return with friends. A nice outdoors to have tea with friends or breakfast. Thank you.

Authentic Persian food, very delicious and tasty, variety of dishes of the traditional Persian cuisine. Loved everything from the freshly made salad to the delicious soups, in-house made bread (naan) to the fresh tender well maid dishes either chicken or meat. The restaurant atmosphere is nice, with indoor and outdoor dining, welcoming staff. I visited the place twice in this trip, they lost a star for the service in my second visit for the slow careless service; otherwise, the restaurant deserves 5 stars rating.
