We were able to get a table despite arriving without a reservation on Valentine’s Day. However, the restaurant had sold out of a lot of the dishes. Luckily for me, I had the last serving of zereshk polo; a hearty dish of Chicken Maryland in a rich tomato based sauce served with with barberry saffron Persian rice. The saffron tinted rice is studded with the sweet and sour barberries and is a dish I’d come back for. The restaurant did seem understaffed on the night with just the one waiter taking care of drinks and serving food, but he did an admirable job.

First time I've had persian food in Sydney. Saw skewer kebabs on the menu and thought it'd be similar to lebanese cuisine however it's actually different!
Had:
-start off with a persian signature cocktail (grey goose with pomegranate juice).
-Kotlet: homemade ground lamb patty (it also has veggies in it). Thoroughly enjoyed.
-Falafel; both comes with a slightly chilli dipping sauce.
-Kashke bademjan - grilled eggplant with fried mint & whey sauce.
-Had 3 different types of skewers: two lamb and one chicken. They were all really tender. I am really picky with my meats (normally don't eat chicken as I find it tough) and this was succulent!
-cutlet kabab: marinated lamb cutlets, were full of flavour and didn't have a lamb taste to it at all.
-all paired with 2 types of rice and naan
-dessert of the day to finish with persian tea
-wash it all down with a glass of shiraz
This restaurant produces really good kababs which is full of flavour and is very tender. I highly recommend this to all the fussy meat eaters out there. Great restaurant to catch up with family or friends. Thanks PersianLicious. I enjoyed my Friday night here.
If you like Persian food, this is the best you can find in Sydney. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. We sat upstairs which has a very nice ambience and a beautiful design. Service was friendly and we got an incredible amount of food for how much we paid.
Amazing amazing food!! Great environment with beautiful decor. Really enjoyed the authentic Persian food. Koobideh was my absolute favourite!
Excellent and extremely generous serving of fresh Persian cuisine. Restaurant looks extremely inviting and server addressed all our needs.
Quiet and well located small restaurant in Surry Hills with a helpful waiter and tasty menu. The meat was cooked well and the dip and naan bread was on point. PersianLicious is a charming place for a quiet weeknight date.
Best Persian food in Sydney with beautiful interior. The koobide and jooje is absolutely amazing.
Freindly staff and great service, amazing food and good portions, love to go back again at any time. Recommend to every one,presentation well done and respect full manager. Great experience
Generous portions, delicate flavours - a great combination. This is a small warm restaurant with quiet and unobtrusive great service to match the atmosphere. No loud overbearing food and cocktail attendants to ruin the lovely atmosphere. Cocktail bar is great. Really enjoyed my visit. Thanks.
Best quality food served, very tasty and pleasing, happy with the proportions! Filled me up for sure ! One of the best Persian restaurants I had dinned at and will be coming coming back for sure! Thank you for the amazing customer service we received! And plus the Nun was the best I had ever had in Sydney!!
