Contribute Feedback What Judy Koch likes about Alounak:
A warm and friendly environment, no matter how busy the restaurant gets at peak time on a Saturday night. A simple, basic decor is more than made up for by a comprehensive menu of Persian dishes that would please any Epicurean. My very first experience of Persian cuisine, and I suspect not the last...! Well worth a visit. View all feedback.
They must try the following when they do it: mixed appetizer, fresh iranic brot, shirazi salad, masto khiyar, kebab koobedeh wrap them all with their one of faloodah.
I've heard a good thing about alounak. I have always planned to visit the restaurant in bayswater at a certain time to dinner, or what not, but somehow I never came to the time to do this. I finally tried to try this place, but not in the restaurant. instead I ordered it by deliveroo (remember 5 pfund from her order here) and it got my food delivered to my doorsteps. I try hard to make no order deliveries a habit, but sometimes when they are dead exhausted and desperate for a long-due break, they are allowed to be lazy and pamper them a little.
I can't say enough about this Iranian restaurant in London! It's definitely the best I've tried so far. It's a 30-minute ride from where I'm staying for celebrations in London, but it's definitely worth it, especially with the black taxis. I highly recommend the sultani and koobidah dishes, as they were both delicious and juicy. The bread is made fresh on-site, so you can't get any fresher than that. I also tried the special dish of the day, sabzi lacquered, which had a great taste that was enhanced with a drizzle of lemon and salt. Overall, I give the food a 3.5/5, service a 3.5/5, and ambiance a 3.5/5.
Indulge in the most authentic Iranian cuisine that London has to offer. The only downside is the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant, which may be a bit lacking. However, once you taste the delicious dishes, you won't even notice the decor. The kebabs are succulent and the falooda dessert comes highly recommended.
Dinner at this place was super. Some of the staff were a little abrupt. The food was incredible. The bread is made fresh and to order and it was delicious. I would highly recommend a short detour to visit this place. It is very busy and there are no bookings. I was recommended to arrive just before 7pm and that worked (no waiting). The juices were okay, not the best. The food is superb. Enjoy
