Hearty, interesting, home style Persian comfort food. They have moved to a new location next to Pyrmont wharf, quiet but relaxing outdoor seating and a very festive, warm interior complete with Persian crockery, tea and Rosewater. We shared everything and had a great time trying all these new flavours. The 4 hour slow cooked eggplant was a standout, smokey, creamy a bit spicy from the garlic and a bit of crunch from the walnuts. We also had this eggplant in a dish with tomato and egg, felt like a persian version of baked eggs and it was delicious with the saffron rice. We had the mixed grilled kebabs with lamb shoulder, backstrap and chicken. Beautiful smokey flavour and the meat had good flavour as it had apparently been marinated for 48 hours. However, it could be a little more moist. I liked the rice with polo berries and pistachio, good texture, bit of sweetness and nuttiness. We also shared the 'Ghormeh Sabzi', a slow cooked herbal lamb stew. Very interesting herbal flavour with tender meat and beans so it was very hearty. Not a flavour I am used to and I havn't tried this dish before but it had a herbal, bitter taste. The desserts were amazing, I love these Persian flavours. The Persian Pastry was similar to Baklava but a bit less sweet, more honey flavoured and much more pistachio, delicious. The mixed ice cream flavours worked well, I liked the saffron/cardammon icecream creamy and subtly spiced, the cherry one tasted good but was a bit icy. The texture of the persian fairy floss worked well with the icecream.The vivacious owner Miryam was a great host, very proud of her food and full of energy. The food is made with love, the place has a festive, warm vibe and is set next to the water. Come with an open mind and an appetite, had a great time!
