Narenj in Bournemouth

Love their food , original persian cooking, very friendly staffRecommend kashk bademjan amd freshly baked bread

Absolutely amazing restaurant in bournemouth very nice staff and i’ve been to a lot of Iranian restaurants and this was the best amazing

Wow, superb food, had a lamb and aubergine stew, delicious. My first Persian won’t be my last. Local feel and with travelling too.

Amazing staff, so nice! The food is the best Persian food I've had in England (don't know why all the meat I've had in England except for here tastes disgusting!). Highly recommend!

Mediocre place to eat. Came in and waited about 5 minutes just to be seated, it seemed like there were no FOH staff on duty. Friendly waiters but they overshare and talk a bit too much. Was simply trying to have my starter and the waiter tries to explain how everything is fresh in a twisted way saying how their chef had a covid scare and was off but is now back and made everything fresh, which is like yeah nice but also like thanks for ruining my meal by saying it was handled by someone who was recently ill... starters were nothing special, soup was alright, sorta just tasted like canned minestrone soup - would not spend that money unless it came with bread, which it didn't and we had to by separately. Also tried their garlic yoghurt dip, please tell me where the "garlic" comes from as it tastes like plain old Greek yoghurt, nothing special. Was a large dip, also doesnt come with bread, would be better if they made it like a selection of 3 dips for the price you pay as having a constant yoghurt flavour gets boring, especially if its a small plate full. Their bread was great tho, light, crisp and soft at the same time. Mains were alright, had the lamb skewer and aubergine and lamb stew. I can tell their dishes centre around flavour of tomato and spice but would like the spices to be a bit more apparent. Lacked flavour and to be honest, the food was quite cold/ lukewarm. We had starters and mains but it took a whopping hour just to get our mains despite the restaurant being empty. But, they give a generous amount of rice, plenty to fill you up so thats a plus. I will say, for drinks their tea is great. Very fragrant yet quite light.

First off, the food might be okay, but the service and the attitude is unbelievable.This restaurant will go out of their way to make your life difficult as though they are 3 Michelin Star establishment and the customer has just asked for more salt.Just Eat has a 20% discount when you order from here, except, they don't honour it, instead asking you to not only eat the discount, but also collect the delivery yourself.And they're happy if you agree to that, but try to pay by card or have someone else collect the order and see what obstacles they'll throw in your path.We have ordered three times from this place and each time it's been a different story of woe. Someone else needs to open a Persian restaurant in Bournemouth and free the masses from having to deal with the worst (and I mean WORST) owners/staff (regardless of the food itself)Save yourself a lot of hassle.

The food was delicious. It took a while to come out but worth it. We got the mixed grill for 2 people. The chicken and kebab were amazing, the lamb was a bit chewy.

Good taste, different experience as it was a Persian food some meat could have been cook better but was setisfyjng taste with other foods bit pricy ......

Thought to try something different. Unfortunately won't be going back there.Lack of flavour in dishes we ordered. Never tried Persian food before now, so nothing else to compare it too. Did have good size portions. Although didn't enjoy the food.The restaurant was busy so must suit the tastes of some. Way too bland for our liking!

Came in very late but they did there best to accommodate. Food was good although we couldn't order everything we wanted on the menu as they had run out due to the time. Waitress was very polite and efficient.
