Nice owner and food is pretty different here so quite enjoyed the experience! There's not many Persian restaurants around in Sydney.
Near the corner of Cleveland Street and Elizabeth Street is the quiet oasis Din Din Persian Kitchen. There have always been restaurants around here, a cluster, mostly Lebanese with somewhere East Asian around the corner. Pub food and it looks like an Italian wine bar has opened on the other side of the street. But this was the one that appealed to us the most, wanting dinner before seeing the show Confessions of a Mormon Boy at the Giant Dwarf theatre.
Typical Persian kebab on rice, just like I remember from Iran. The grilled beef was tough but the chicken and minced meats were tender and nicely spiced. The eggplant dip might be the star though, very interesting. Prices are good - the 3-skewer deal might feed 2 or 3 people.
Authentic Persian food, started with Chenjeh and Bar kabab, served with saffron rice and butter, very heavy and had to take rest in the doggy bag, so you can share if not hungry, or else 1 is enough, Hospitality is good, bring your own wine option is available.
average of 38 $ for 2. serves indoor only.
Loved this restaurant. I’m Iranian so I know good Persian food. Loved the zereshk polo with chicken and the olives were my favourite. The black tea was also beautiful. Very authentic.
Authentic home-cooked Persian food. They even brought us some tahdig which was one of my happiest moments of 2017. Simple decor, no fuss, all about the food. One of my fave Persian restaurants. Don't be afraid to try the stews, they make them better than most places I have been to in Sydney and far cheaper too. Rated 4.5 because the 5 is reserved for my mother and aunties.
Fairly average Iranian food at reasonable prices.
In all honesty, I’d like this place more if it looked less dingy. They need to invest more in their interior design if its to have more people (of non-Iranian decent) walking through its doors..
I would recommend dining here, but I feel this place has the potential of being much better if a little more attention was given to its decor and layout.
Really nice food, the chief took their time cooking it ensuring it is the best quality - and we were super satisfied with it. Would definitely come again!!
PS the waitress was really nice to us as well!
We ended there tonight because Hannibal next door is gone!! Its a nice fresh looking unpretentious restaurant The service was friendly and the food quite nice The lamb kebabs and beautiful fluffy basmati rice a a stand out
Its BYO and vwry reasonable prices
Will go again very soon for sure
First time trying Persian food and it was really good. Great service. Thought the food would be greasy but I was wrong. Will definitely come back 👍👍
Absolutely delicious food with generous portions and good value for what I paid. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo as I had takeaway. Staff are very professional and super friendly. Definitely recommended!
Food is quite nice, filling and well presented.
Location is very convenient and service is quite good.
Overall a good value for money !
Highly recommended for people around Surry Hills / CBD who would like to try some Persian food.
Attached is the photo of my Jojeh Kabab (no.14) and an extra skewer of Kobideh Kabab (no.37).
Discovered this gem with EatClub. Cozy and friendly place. Very delicious and affordable dishes. Nice to know we don't have to go all the way to Ryde for good Persian food.

It's just OK, there are better Persian restaurants in Sydney however this one is very convenient in terms of location and very reasonably priced if you're not willing to go to Ryde, for example
