Dehkadeh in Harrow

Don’t be fooled with the current reviews, the food is rubbish, I genuinely picked the place because of the reviews and made a big mistake.I and my partner had to deal with stomach pain for the rest of the evening and night.To summarise:1)The kebabs were not fresh or if they were then the meat was so hard to chew .2)Starters were not cooked the same way as usual ( walnuts were missing and etc)3) yogurt drink was tastelessIt’s unusual to be asked if you need a dressing for your salad !? It should just come with it … ( never mind it really tasted like water)The only one star I have given here is for the nice lady who welcomed and served us.Note: the service charge was put on the bill without a consent from us, which wouldn’t be an issue if the food was to an standard.Avoid this place at all cost .

Juciest Kababs and softest chicken I ever had. Starter soup was a bit bland (Maybe they were targeting white folks, common with all british Asian restaurant, nothing specific to this one) . Will go again in sha allah.5 out of 5

Incredible food, great atmosphere and the staff were amazing! Such lovely people.Party of 28 for a 50th and it was perfect 👌🏻

Got 10 kebabs for takeaway with rice. The kebabs were good and tasty but some were a bit burnt. The prices are slightly more costly than other places that serve koobideh kebabs. Overall it is a good local Iranian restaurant.

Junk food. I ordered a lunch offer. It seems the launch offer is the food from last night. The box is plastic and very low quality. Do not waste your money for this junk food!

I love Persian food and if you're around this area and fancy something different then look no further. The food is prepared fresh in sight, all delicious. The kebabs were well marinated and in generous portions. We keep missing out on Sunday specials but hopefully soon. Great family run establishment

Warm and pleasant experience with tasty food.

We traveled from Bournemouth to convince ourselves from what we heard about Dehkadeh offering authentic Persian food in London.Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner and felt instantly at home. The restaurant is very specious with good access and very children friendly. We were amazed by the taste of several cold and warm starters we ordered which came with a delicious and very traditional Nan-bread which you usually don't find in any other persian resturant. We also loved the authentic taste of our mains which consisted of persian styled grilled meat with rice. Simply succulent!! Unfortunately we were too busy eating and enjoying our food that we forgot to take photos to share it with you. Thank you for your hospitality and hope to see you soon again.

This place did not disappoint! The food is great and the portions are good! Totally recommend this place if you want great Persian cuisine in Harrow!

Expensive - prices might have been increased since eat out to help out scheme was introduced? Sadly, I feel the customer service is questionable. Lacking in experience dealing with customers in a friendly way. I have eaten in thousands of restaurants and mostly Afghan or Persian.Food was nice which is why the reviews are good, but I wouldn't say the best or anywhere near. The waitress was generally quite nice until our food arrived. We were a bit confused there were no full size plates provided for our two children to eat from. She told us she needs her plates for other customers that are coming soon. After we insisted our children will need proper plates she said she will check, then returned with two proper plates. This was the start of our problems with this otherwise pleasant and cosy establishment. We ordered the mixed grill for 4, assuming the hefty and uncompetitive price of £50 would provide 3 adults and two small children a decent meal. We also ordered a couple of sides and starters.When the grill arrived, the portion was actually quite disappointing and missing some baby chicken. When I mentioned this I was told that it comes with so much lamb so one missing baby chicken is no big deal. I just thought OK... I just want to eat. Then the salad portion was not even enough for one person, it was two slices of cucumber, 2 slices of tomato and a handful of lettuce. It was how much salad you might find on at the side of a starter plate. We all love our salad with grilled food, so I complained asking for a top up as it cannot be right for a £50 grill (described as for 4). The lady returned with a plate of salad which had a few extra vegetables.We wanted some Persian tea which was then served with no sugar, I had to get up and go to the kitchen to get the sugar as the waitress by then was completely ignoring my table.At the end of our meal we were shocked to find we were charged £4.50 for the extra salad which we thought was to correct the mistake of not giving a full salad portion with the grill. We asked if that could be adjusted and she told us the salad provided with the grill was just for decoration(!), and if we want salad we have to pay £4.50! It's also worth noting that a small plate of chips in this restaurant is charged at £4.50! Most expensive chips ever! The restaurant also force a 10% service charge which you have to pay even if the service was poor. I felt this was illegal but again, didn't want to make a scene anymore.We came here thinking we would get a good meal at a decent price due to the government eat out to help out scheme, the reviews looked excellent. Sadly we left feeling we spent the same as we would have on any other night, and that our money would have got us a better overall experience elsewhere.We were hoping to order food to take away and also return with more friends but that did not and will not be happening. I recommend you take your custom to one of the several other restaurants if you want to avoid high prices for poor service and average food. I hope the restaurant will review the price / contents of the grill and also the chips! Would also suggest a friendly and more generous approach to paying customers who might have returned had the experience been made better, quite easily by the waitress.
