We were dead hungry late at night on our way home when most shops had closed but they were open to 1 am and I believe it was a weeknight. I was expecting like a Persian kitchen inside a pub or something but it was actually a quite fancy cloth napkin type of place. They have like a 10 page menu but they have pictures which is helpful. We wanted to try something other than kebabs & shawarma so we went w/ a plate of lamb neck, brains and some other meats. They should rename it the Dog Food plate, it was essentially just boiled without seemingly any seasoning to make it not taste like scrap meat. It was served w/ some pita, raw spicy chilies and raw red onion slices but no rice. We had to order an expensive side of huge rice. The pita was a bit too hard and crispy. It was also served w/ a bowl of bone broth on the side for either dipping or sipping I guess. I would've enjoyed it more if it was priced much cheaper as it is the shit that most restaurants just throw away anyway lol. But if I lived nearby I saw some of their seafood/fish dishes I'd be interested to try. read more

A True Taste of Persia! If you're craving authentic Persian food that tastes just like it came from back home, you've got to check this place out. We went on a Thursday night, and even though it was packed, it all made sense once the food arrived. The service was great, and the atmosphere was vibrant, but the food is what truly steals the show. Seriously, it's a must-visit for a true taste of Persia. read more

Kish Restaurant, 10-15 years ago, was an excellent Iranian restaurant known for its delicious food and reasonable prices. However, over the years, the quality has steadily declined. Each year, the prices have become increasingly unreasonable, while the portion sizes have continued to shrink. What was once a great dining experience has unfortunately deteriorated significantly. As a result of this, most Iranians are no longer inclined to dine there for traditional Iranian food, which they should be able to afford (but they can not). Consequently, you hardly see many Iranians at Kish Restaurant anymore. Instead, it has mostly transformed into an Arabic restaurant, as only Arab customers--who bring significant wealth from abroad--can comfortably afford the rising prices. Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done since the restaurant continues to attract a steady flow of Arab customers. While I can personally afford their prices without issue, I have chosen to boycott Kish Restaurant as a matter of principle. You can choose to dine at other Iranian restaurants, as there are several good options in North Finchley and other areas. At these restaurants, not only will you enjoy authentic Iranian cuisine, but your bill will also typically be 30-40% cheaper than at Kish Restaurant. Food: 1 read more

So, I read a lot of the reviews on here and decided to take a chance on Kish. Like many others, it's right across the street from our hotel, the Marriott. There's a lot of 5 reviews for the food, and I agree that the food is definitely 5 stars. I didn't find it to be too expensive, but being from the USA, I've found most things to be cheaper in the UK. The entire is decorated very nicely, with what appears to be ancient stone carvings on the walls. The restaurant is family friendly too. They have outdoor seating with heaters. I ordered the hummus with a basket of naan. There was A LOT of naan! Like 12 pieces! When I order naan in the US, I get 4 pieces. My husband ordered the chicken soup. It was very good. We both got a glass of wine. They are generous with their portions. For dinner I ordered the chicken kabobs. My husband ordered the chicken and lamb kabobs. They came with saffron jasmine rice and a small salad. It's a lot of rice! I couldn't even eat half of it. Everything was very tasty. The only issue we had was that after the meal we never saw the waiter again. He never came back. We were never offered water, another glass of wine, dessert, coffee, the check, a to-go box, NOTHING. Eventually I asked another waitress if we could please get the check. I saw her go over to our waiter who was by the front, point to us and tell him. Neither he, nor her, nor anyone else ever brought us the check?!? I don't know what is going on with this place. I told my husband, "Maybe we will get his attention if we start to leave!" So we got up and went to the front. Still, nothing. So we had to ask the gentleman at the front if we could pay. He finally obliged us. Honestly, if you're going to purposefully ignore your customers for so long I would not be shocked if some people were to walk out on you. Not saying it's ok but you don't exactly act like getting paid is important to you. It seemed like a huge inconvenience for us to pay! We must've waited at least 20-25 minutes to pay the bill. For this reason alone I give service 3 stars. But before this everything seemed fine. Very strange. Altogether our bill was £58 including their 12.5% gratuity. I would recommend ordering to go so you don't have to deal with the staff since others have also complained about the staff being rude. read more

10/10 recommend--we are visiting from the states and were looking for a good Persian restaurant. We are so lucky we found Kish on our last day. The food was amazing and incredibly aesthetic. We ordered the soltani, the mixed grill plate, the shirazi salad, and the makhloot ice cream. Not only was the food amazing, the service was incredible. Thank you to Tanaz and Kevin! read more

So my brother took me to dinner there, he told me it's middle eastern/ Lebanese and he was totally wrong it was Persian food.now don't get me wrong I'm just not into that kind of food with the saffron rice and rose water this and that. But the lavash flat bread had sesame seeds and that was really good and the hummus was not bad either. But that was about it for me, the chips/french fries were ok also. Service was great and the desserts looked incredible. But that's about it for me, now my brother loved it. So that's why I gave it a 4 stars, the atmosphere was beautiful and the decor was also. read more

Tasty food at great price. No pork obviously but halal sausage wasn't bad. I had eggs royale ( with smoked salmon ). Worthy of a try. read more

Only came here because it was our first night in London and it was right across the hotel. For some reason I thought it would be an Irish restaurant but it was Persian which I'm familiar with. I just wanted a quick bite and was tired from traveling so I ordered honey waffles, Turkey bacon and hash browns. Luckily they were serving breakfast food all day and night. The server was nice she was patient with us as we really couldn't understand the menu. My food was good I mean you can't really mess it up i less you don't know how to cook lol I also got a green smoothie it's similar to a green island at tropical smoothie, so good! read more

A very nice place to eat from what I heard. Obviously it's closed because of covid but I saw desserts that I couldn't pass up on. I ended up getting the massive donut and it took me a couples hours to finish. So good though. read more

I ordered take out and by the time I got the food delivery, the kabobs were still hot off the grill. The stuffed grape leaves rocked. The bread was a bit disappointing and not worth ordering. Lamb and chicken kabobs were on point! read more

This is for delivery. This was some of the best Persian food I've ever had. Meat is perfectly juicy, and the portion sizes are huge (especially the rice). The must order items: Mirza ghasemi: smoked aubergine dip (perfect with the nan bread) Lamb koobideh: so tender and flavorful Jujeh kebab (marinated poussin): has some bones but has a deep game bird flavor. This is definitely a delivery staple for me!! read more

We order Nowruz Sabzi Polo and we received 3 square boxes of mainly rice with two pieces of dried fish and a postage stamp size of Kooku. This was £72 and they forgot an additional dish we had ordered. Extremely disappointing and not worth the money. read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant for dinner. One of my Iranian-English friends took a big group of us here for dinner. We got lots of dips with homemade sesame flat bread, we had a big grill with lamb, chicken (fantastic) and minced lamb (super juicy) we finished off with some black tea and Iranian sweets (super sweet, skip if you don't love sugar). The food was excellent, the place was warm and cosy with the bread oven right next to us. I'll be back for sure! read more

This place failed on so many levels. So I'm in the neighborhood for the night... I find this place on Yelp and decided to order only appetizers tonight. I order 3 appetizers, and my waitress comes back two separate times to tell me that an appetizer is not available. So I ended up with Naan, yogurt sauce, and a glass of white wine. ..."check please...". After waiting at the table for what seemed like twenty minutes, I finally asked for the bill. It came to £13.90. I gave £20.90. Easy math says I should have received £7 back. Nope, I got 6 and change ######???? Waitress seemed aloof and dismissive. I got my £7 back. And I won't be back... Cheerio.. read more

Kishi is good once to try out. There is alot happening inside a very small dining area. They have some seating outside to help seat people quicker. Staff are quick to get you in and out. No time for chit chat. Food was served hot. Great place for kabobs. Plates are very large. One third of your dish has basmati rice which is light and fluffy. The other two thirds of plate are your kabob and a salad of some sort. They have a special stone oven where they make naan. You can see them making it. read more

After moving to my new area, was quite unhappy about moving from my previous Persian fav 'Alounak' (gosh I still do miss this place). But Kish is a great place too. The sesame naan bread is brill and all their dips ie hummus, masto-khiar are great too. Please be careful since the portions are massive and it's quite misleading on how little food can fill you up. Therefore, order wisely. Have also ordered from this place for home delivery and have always loved it ok. Love the food and highly recommend this place for all Persian food lovers. read more

Absolutely delicious. Let the waiter guide your choices if you don't already have a favorite.

Lovely lovely staff. Food was very traditional Persian and prices very reasonable for London. Good value for the money, highly recommend

Since we were staying across at the Marriott we were debating whether to try Kish or other Middle Eastern restaurants on Kilburn. Anyway we were too tired to go anywhere so we went there. It was a pleasant surprise. It is a very nice quaint restaurant and the food was delicious. I live in Chicago and have tried a lot of Persian restaurants all over USA. I will rank Kish as one of the very best Persian restaurants. Ali took excellent care of us and that made the whole experience even better. I will strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Persian food. We will go back there again tomorrow before heading back home. Thank you Ali for looking after us. read more
