"Strictly speaking the name Alborz refers to a mountain range in the north of Iran although I 'm told it is also a male name that means 'the highest one '. Not that any of that is relevant to a restaurant in Kensington. Probably the best thing this eatery has going for it is its location, situated as it is opposite the well known Olympia exhibition centre. So it was an obvious choice when I visited with a colleague recently, having completed a day exhibiting at an event at the venue opposite. The place was quiet when we visited on a Friday evening, although it did fill up while we were there. Actually it was a little airy, and generally the decor appeared in need of refreshing, although the artwork on the walls was certainly a point of interest. Service was polite and friendly, though not overly enthusiastic. The menu was interesting a fairly simple selection of cold appetisers and salads and main courses that were largely variations of kebabs (marinated lamb, chicken and fish) not that I object to a kebab. I like that there was a Persian translation of the menu, which I hope was an indication that this restaurant is favoured by the local Persian population always a good sign. On the downside I was disappointed that they don 't serve alcohol but I respect that, and it wasn 't really a deal breaker for me. To be fair they will allow you to bring your own wine. The starters, when they came, were reminiscent of Greek/Lebanese cuisine, with the ubiquitous flatbread, hummus, stuffed vine leaves and aubergine dip (see pictures). we opted for the selection of 4 mixed starters for £14.50, which is good if you have difficulty choosing or wish to try a variety. The mains were perhaps too ambitious a mixed grill for 2 consisting of skewers of minced lamb, chicken breast, shish lamb fillet, tomatoes rice (see picture), which proved rather too much even for us. At £30 I do think it was overpriced for what was served, but it was nice though, well cooked and beautifully presented. Coming in at nearly £60 for two, considering there was no alcohol, is not cheap. But having to wait rather too long for the bill was a bit of a spoiler, and at a time when the restaurant wasn 't even that busy. This lackadaisical approach compelled me to ask again for the bill something I dislike doing tremendously for fear of appearing pushy or impatient. But that is a minor niggle. It wouldn 't prevent me from visiting again for what I now know is genuine Persian cuisine."

stay away from this place as it is stinky, not clean and old interior. Food quality is not worth the money

A good option for a lunch visit if you're in the area. Opposite Olympia. Good prompt service Food honest and tasty. Decor is basic but friendly and authentic.

Great lunch time meal , food was great , it’s really good and should be 5 stars really . The only thing that marks it’s down is they didn’t give free bread with meal. Voir le carte

With a focus on the food and modest decor, this restaurant will make you feel like you're in Persia. I enjoyed the delicious homemade dishes that tasted just like home cooking.

I visited this restaurant and ordered the minced lamb dish. I was pleased to see that the prices had not increased since before the lockdown. The kebab with rice was priced at £11, which is lower compared to most restaurants that charge £16. However, the kebabs were thinner and the bread, priced at £1.50, was smaller and less fluffy than usual. Despite these differences, you are saving around 40% on your meal. Ultimately, you get what you pay for. Voir le carte

I really wanted to love all the food I got as we had traveled from Lewisham to get there. So was very disappointed on the mediocrity of food, despite the very kind woman (manager? All the food I had was so bland: the smoked aubergine and the Fesenjan. But big portions so good value for the price, I guess? We got boxes for takeaway. My husband had a chicken and saffron rice (which I wish mine came with rather than white basmati rice with some saffron rice sprinkled atop , with red berries sprinkled atop. He also got a side order of the yogurt and garlic sauce which was quite tasty. His verdict: nothing to write home about but good enough. I ended up getting a side order of berries as well as...

I recently dined at this restaurant with a group of coworkers and was thoroughly impressed. Despite some recent negative reviews, I found the food to be fantastic and the service from the staff members, who I assume are the owners, to be very friendly. I particularly enjoyed the fact that it is BYO alcohol and the owners were accommodating when we went next door to grab a couple of bottles of wine. They even waived the corkage fee, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed a variety of starters with freshly baked bread from the clay oven, with the smoked aubergine being a standout. The mixed grill we shared was ample for the three of us, and our colleague's chicken kebab with rice was also d...
