I came here last week, nice place and friendly atmosphere! Food was good, we ordered Koobideh and Barg platter, Also it was very clean. Another highlight was the hot drinks table, which offered a wonderful variety of teas, coffee, and even small sweets to enjoy at the end of the meal. It made the whole experience feel extra special and complete. The staff were friendly and welcoming I recommend it.
Afraa is owned and run by a group of Persian team who have years of experience in running restaurants in Iran. The restaurant has a cozy, feel like home, feeling. And it has a calm and welcoming atmosphere. There is a complementary sweet bar offered to all the guests, including homemade sweets, tea, coffee and chocolates. We ordered “Kash Bademjan” for appetizer, “Chicken Leg Skewer” and “Soltani King’s Feast” for main and paired our meal with carbonated yogurt drink. Everything was fresh, flavourful and perfectly cooked. The staff are friendly and attentive. There’s ample parking available in the plaza.
I had a wonderful experience at this Persian food restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect—warm, elegant, and very welcoming. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The food was truly delicious. For my personal taste, it was just a little bit salty, but the flavor overall was excellent. The presentation of the dishes was incredible and very artistic. I noticed some special touches that I have never seen in other restaurants, which made the dining experience feel unique. One thing I really appreciated is that soup and drinks are included with all orders. In addition, there is a table bar offering a wide variety of complimentary items such as pastries, dates, chocolates, coffee, tea, hot water, and more. This thoughtful idea really sets the restaurant apart. A big thank you to the management for this beautiful and generous concept. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back! 🌟
We had a wonderful meal here today. We started with the eggplant appetizer with walnut, mint, and onion, followed by the chicken breast skewer and the lamb chops. The lamb dish was especially generous, with six perfectly cooked chops, along with rice, tomato, lemon, basil, onions, and olives. It truly felt like the food never stopped coming. Our main waitresses, Goli and Setareh, were incredibly polite, caring, and attentive, patiently explaining the menu items in English and making us feel very welcome. Beyond that, all of the staff contributed seamlessly to our table, and the service never stopped. Every team member was truly top notch. We appreciated the complimentary pop, and after dinner the lovely touches of free tea, Scottish shortbread cookies, and even dried rose petals to add to the tea. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it is clearly a favourite within the Persian community, which speaks volumes about the authenticity and quality. We always delight in coming here and will happily return again.
It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it! The place had a cozy and lovely atmosphere, and the staff were super friendly. The portions were big and generous — we started with a delicious soup, and they even lit a candle for us at the table which made it feel very special. The food was fresh and tasty; my only note is that it could use a bit more salt, but that’s totally personal taste and easy to adjust. Definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves Persian food!
Congratulation!
