Paradise (West End)

• I went to paradise with a few friends
• The hummus was a highlight and all of the meat was cooked to a much higher standard than your average take away or local kebab shop
• The restaurant is cozy and stuffed with Persian and Middle East artefacts an amazing peek into the culture
• The owners are Iranian and the food is a 100% authentic
• The starter comprised of nan bread with an aubergine curry mildly spicy with a hint of spices delicious
• We ordered a yogurt to go with the meal doogh
• It's similar to lassi from india or ayran from Turkey and is a lot better than any alcohol to go with the meal
• The main course consisted of saffron rice served with a selection of chicken and lamb cooked in different styles
• The meats are dry and some butter with a hint of lime just adds to the experience
• Also worth a try is the ice cream with the carrot juice
• You can start the meal with tea or finish with tea it's brought to a slow boil so the aromas of the spices are retained in the drink
• My only regret was the slightly uncomfortable seating in the premises for a tall person
• They were seasoned with basic seasoning
• The service was also very quick and friendly
• I opted for the platter for two which was huge and was brought home for leftovers
• We had the Mazeh platter which was really good
• We had lamb kebabs with naan and a chicken stew
• Service was great with a great ambience
