Patogh

A modest yet distinguished institution for authentic Persian cuisine, this restaurant commands a presence just off Edgware Road with its commitment to traditional flavors. The atmosphere, though cozy and somewhat cramped, echoes a homey vintage charm that often attracts both locals and tourists seeking a genuine culinary adventure. The menu predominantly features a variety of kebabs, notably the mixed koobideh and minced lamb kebab, known for their succulence and warm spices. Vegetarians can savor the tantalizing Okra Stew, while an extensive bread selection, freshly baked in-house, accompanies most dishes and deserves notable mention. The cash or bank transfer-only policy remains a curious remnant of an age resistant to change, offering a part of the experience to those who plan accordingly. Though service times can be unpredictable, many are willing to overlook this for a hearty meal that captures the essence of Persian hospitality and culinary artistry.
