We have been eating at this restaurant for a number of years and it’s such a great find. We are a half Persian family and so grew up with Persian stews and kebabs eaten both at home or in restaurants in London and of all the Persian restaurants we’d tried, the kebabs and hospitality at this place are the best. No ifs, no buts. It really feels like we’re eating at a friends house because there’s so much care and attention in both the food and the service. It tastes just like my aunty’s delicious food when she visited from Iran I’m baffled that others can say it’s not authentic on here when they’ve not grown up with Iranian food.Last night I brought some friends to try, many had never tried Pe...
I love interesting and unusual food, and I find far too many ethnic food restaurants to be sadly formulaic. Not Pistachio! The best, most melt in the mouth, exotically spiced lamb shank I have ever tasted, and I'm from New Zealand, and love my lamb! There's nowhere for a chef to hide with a lamb shank. It has to be cooked long and slow, in the sauce, and this was. The tomato and bean Pilau that accompanied it was unusual, and complemented it nicely. Himself's chicken and kebab was a huge portion of deliciously marinaded smoky grilled chicken.Warm, helpful and friendly service from a couple who are clearly passionate about their heritage,and its cuisine. When we both ordered the same starter,...
Went to the restaurant twice in one week, my wife is persian so expectations were high.....We weren't disappointed!!! The food was first class, every mouthful was a delight to savour. Brought back so many memories for my wife of good tradional home cooked food. All the ingredients were of the highest quality, well presented on the plate and all very reasonably priced. I am English and enjoyed the food immensely. I would not hesitate to recommend The Pistachio to anyone wanting to try Persian food for the first time, you will not be disappointed.One thing that made the difference between this and other Persian eateries is this one is family owned and run. You can tell Ali puts his heart and s...
Fantastic food served by the friendliest most helpful young man. The food was fresh, hot and very tasty in a lovely laid back atmosphere, the mixed grill was delicious and filling. The service really was quite exceptional! The young lad who I believe is one of the owners was attentive, polite, friendly without the sometimes sleazy approach you can experience in other restaurants. First class experience will definitely be back soon!!

We were in the area for a little break away, we chose to have our food here on the Thursday night (May 5th) and the girl serving was great, very welcoming, talkative and very happy to help. We had a query about what we noticed was a local food fried pickle the chef came out to us to ask us about it, didn’t have any pickles but treated us to some fried pickled onions which were lovely! Would certainly suggest people to come here.
Restaurant: Good food and wine at reasonable prices. We had four separate dishes...fajitas, chicken, fish n chips, and linguine. All very good. The chef was happy to change the chicken to include a portions of chips and peas instead of the suggested risotto. Non alcoholic beer available; staff happy to allow one of us to bring non alcoholic wine. Staff very attentive. Will return!
I had lamb stew with plums accompanied by rice. Perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth meat and real depth of flavour to the sauce. Polite, attentive staff and very pleasant ambiance topped off a great dining experience. There’s not much competition in the area but if there were 50 other restaurants The Pistachio would easily hold its own.
My first time eating here and I was very impressed. We visited for my wife's birthday and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were attentive and helped us preparing the happy birthday cake at the end. Will defo be going back again.

My favourite takeaway! I miss being able to sit in The Pistachio and eat, but they have a takeaway service so that’s great! We order here regularly and the food is always super. Falafel wrap is gorgeous and the pizzas are top notch
Ali and Fatima run a lovely family restaurant were you feel at home and eat delicious Persian food. The starters are full of flavours! The meat are so tenders it’s simply amazing... worth the journey!
