What can I say never in my entire life have ever cried for a bar and restaurant well I cried tears of joy ~ here is the story: I launched my first book at Pistachios Sherwood this was the third best day of my life because Orash, his wife, Mia and the staff made happen. The food was exceptional, the venue, the drinks everything was just exceptional exactly how I wanted it to be. Pistachio family you guys rock I can’t thank you enough. Everything was just amazing
The first time that I have been here. Excellent food that tasted wonderful! There were subtle flavours which were delicious. Being Persian cuisine such flavours are not common to our tastebuds, so an excellent experience! Being based on tapas your dishes arrive over a time period allowing you to graze as they are presented. I will return!!
One of the best meals I've ever had! Such a variety of interesting flavours. We got the lunch deal, £16.95 pp, two dishes and a side each. Highly recommend, especially the corn ribs, cauliflower 'wings' and harissa chicken. The pomegranate sauce was incredible. We also had the baklava which was great, probably even better if we had ordered some tea with it as it is quite sweet. Will be going again some day to try the other dishes and pomegranate cheesecake! Cheers
Lunch Pistachio Sherwood
Family run Persian Restaurant
We've just about been everywhere there is to scoff in Sherwood.
Having been past many times it always seems very busy.
We saw they were doing a weekend lunchtime special deal.
Two dishes and a side for £15.95
So this was the ideal time to try it.
There was lots to choose from and we were guided by the lovely friendly staff on what to order.
Favourite dishes were the Chorizo in Port sauce with some nice fresh bread to soak all the juices up.
With the Meatballs you have a choice of three different sauces.
Couldn't decide on which one,so the chef kindly served us two different ones.
Sour Cherry & Garlicky roasted tomato.
They were both very tasty and still can't decide.
There was also a special dish of Calamari so we had to have that.
All the dishes were delicious and if you like tapas style where you can share and try a bit of everything this is worth a visit.

The food here was incredible. Each dish was very different but tasted amazing. There were lots of options for everyone and my vegetarian partner enjoyed her price. The prices were incredibly reasonable £35 pp it came to including a bottle of wine. Staff were very good as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Pistachio.
Brilliant restaurant in a handy location. Menu choices are great. Dishes are served tapas style. The food we had was excellent. One of the best meals out I’ve had in the past couple of years. Service is efficient. Nice atmosphere and decor. Would highly recommend.

We chose several dishes and just about completed
the menu now.

The most tender of fillet beef served on crunchy slaw.
They've also created a new bar above the restaurant which they call The Loft open at the weekends.

Went to Pistachio for Friday / Saturday lunch deal. £18 each for two mains and a side, available from 12pm to 4pm. Enjoyed all the food a lot, meatballs, crispy chicken, calamari and crispy potatoes were highlights. Friendly staff as well
Came here for an early dinner with some friends. The food is incredible. I had some vegan meatballs and feta filo pastry wraps. The flavours are well balanced, but be careful, the food comes out piping hot! I tried some of loaded hummus too, which was topped with pomegranate, really setting the dish off. I washed it down with a glass of primitivo, which was also divine. We were served by a lovely waitress who couldn't do enough. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, one I would highly recommend.
We came here on Saturday afternoon for bottomless brunch, £30 per person for 2 mains, side and bottomless wine or Prosecco.
The food was delicious and more than average sized portions for tapas. Every dish we ordered was delicious and more than enough to share between 5 people.
Waiter was very friendly and topping our drinks up before we had asked. Its a shame it wasn’t busier as the food was delicious and the service 5*
Definitely value for money and much more on the menu we would go back again to try! Thanks for great food and service!
