Might not look like much from the outside but this place is making some seriously delicious and truly authentic Persian food.

Great food

Visited this gem with my missus today. The decor is understated and modest but not without charm. The best Persian food ive tried in Greater Manchester! Highly recommend

We ordered #2 and #5 on the Persian menu. Extremely nice authentic food and lovely, chatty staff. Would definitely recommend. Had peppermint syrup americano also which was really nice.

Very friendly owner and lovely service. We have been explained about the ingredients too. Local cafe atmosphere. Although I was not expecting £2.50 for a dip of olives. Coffee had a strange aftertaste which may come from the milk used. Parking is available in the supermarket opposite, free for 2 hours.

I love Metro. I always eat the wonderful Persian food, so tasty, huge portions and very reasonable prices. It's a family run business, and you really feel like part of the family when you eat there. The decor, seating etc is a bit basic, but don't let that put you off. The food is just lovely.

Can't recommend this place enough. We went there after seeing a piece on MEN - and it was absolutely worth it. The Persian food is amazing - extremely flavoursome, very tender meat, and hearty. Their baklavas are also great - and huge! The owners are lovely - come here to support this local business and try out some traditional Persian cuisine!

I live a quiet traditional breakfast in here. My favorite fry up by far. None of these fancy attempts ....... Why try and fix what's already good. They are friendly and it feels like a good old fashion caf. It's nice to watch the world go by too.

This cafe is the absolute definition of a hidden gem. From the outside it looks like just a regular greasy spoon cafe, but the menu has some surprises on offer. Alongside the regular cafe offerings, there's a set of traditional, home-cooked Persian dishes which blew me away completely. As a fan of Levantine cuisine, the food here may very well be the best I've ever tasted.
I had the Khoresh Fesenjan, which is a paste of amazingly tender chicken, rich saffron, ground walnuts, pomegranate and an array of spices. It was sweet, sour and held amazingly complex flavours, served with perfectly soft and fluffy rice. Incredibly reasonably priced too.
A shout-out to the owner too. He takes time to chat with customers and makes you feel very welcome. His wife cooks all of the dishes herself, using ancient family recipes and techniques.
Don't hesitate, just go here and try it! Other middle eastern restaurants are just going to disappoint me from now on.

Pretty chilled café serving both traditional English breakfast as well as a selection of Persian dishes. I had the chicken with rice and it was delicious. The owner was friendly and attentive. Nice coffee too.
