A Taste Of Persia - Newcastle upon Tyne

Booked for a weekday date after wanting to come here for several years. We ordered the sharing mezze platter, then shared the 3 skewer main with chips. The food was delicious, in particular the stuffed vine leaves from the platter. The staff were kind and caring, making our meal a great experience. We would definitely come again, and recommend to others. Thank-you for a lovely meal!

We had hummus and grilled halloumi followed by Berg (tender slices of grilled filet lamb) superb crispy chips, great tomato, cucumber and mint salad. All fresh and pretty on the plates. Plenty of choices on the menu. Baclava looked good too but we didn’t have room to eat more. Great value cocktails two for £12. Staff delightful. Really enjoyed our meal.

Fantastic, authentic food. The meat was up there with some of the best I have had in Newcastle, and almost if good as Berenjak in London. Good service, good drinks, all ground great spot.

While wandering the streets of Jesmond, my two sisters and I stumbled upon Taste of Persian. We were having a belated celebration for three special birthdays that were missed during lockdown. The early evening visit was met with a warm welcome from a friendly lady who quickly found us a table, even though we didn't have a reservation. We enjoyed three delicious cocktails and a mezeh platter for starters, all beautifully presented and tasty. For main course, two of us had the Darbarri kebab while the other had the Shishlick, along with three side dishes that were also beautifully presented. We left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied, and we commend the staff for a job well done.

Located on Osbourne Road, Taste of Persia stands out among the many bars and restaurants in the area. We have visited a couple of times while visiting our daughter and both experiences were fantastic. The food is high quality, delicious, and reasonably priced, and the staff are friendly and attentive. They even offer a 2-for-£12 cocktail deal. We highly recommend this restaurant.
