Recently awarded by tripadvisor as “The Best of The Best” in 2020 & 2021. "Traveller's Choice" in 2022, 2023 & 2024."Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years. Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes.

The service was exceptional and the food genuinely Spanish and remarkable. This is a hidden gem and needs to be promoted. No gimmicky food just genuine and quality Spanish food and wine. We enjoyed this so much and will be back.
