I am a Persian food first timer, so Paradise was a gamble as a random choice with a group of indecisive companions. From the outside, the waterfall effect windows mask anything that may be within, we went for a look.
Wow, what an experience! Authentic? Yes! Fun? Yes! Interesting? Yes! what more could you want? Seriously, if you are looking for something different from the standard restaurant, Paradise may just meet your hearts every desire. The interior is packed full of authenic rugs, crockery, and serene persian music. The guests appered to be a mix of Persian and people that have wandered in to see what it is like. They all shared one thing in common, a darn good smile on their face.
After spending around 3 minutes in this restaurant, I could have been on holiday in some far off exotic place. The staff were great and who I can only assume was the manager/owner was an extremely kind elderly gentleman who really put across the impression that he cared and was proud of what he did.
The pricing was no more expensive or cheap than any other restaurant but you get so much more bang for your buck. Sample some of the delicacies of this country which arrive on your table in silver bowls, and goblets. The food was good/ok, but everything else on offer makes that plenty ok with me.
Note: Sitting beside the waterfall may be unwise if you do not wnat to visit the toilet more often than you would like. read more
