    Really tasty and fresh food. Never had Iranian before, but am already a fan after being there. The menu could have some more breads and appetizers, but liked it anyway.

    I'd been craving Persian food forever, so when a friend offered to take me to lunch I jumped at the chance to book our lunch here at 1001 Nights Iranian Restaurant. I was not disappointed! The food was excellent, the service prompt and courteous, and even better, it is walking distance from my house! We will be back. Highly recommended!

    It was my first time sting Iranian food, and it is an experience I recommend to everyone. As entrance we had a cream made from yogurt and spinach that was delicious. Later on as main dish I had a mix o kebab and chicken with rice and some vegetables. The meat was very good. The place decoration was very interesting. Together with the glasses of wine and song, made the experience more intense.

    I have no complains, complements on food, however, higher proficiency in the language would have been better. Owners no doubt, appears to please the customers.

    Don't let the surroundings put you off. This is a little gem not the best of locations but superb iranian food & generous portions, run by a lovely friendly family. Can recommend the lamb & also lemon chicken. So tasty. Excellent wines & very reasonable too. We would definitely go back again...loved it!

    The food is fantastic. Family run restaurant and they could not have been nicer or more hospitable. Value was incredible. Fed 7 with drinks for under 100 Euros and everyone left full. Well worth a visit!

    I’m not an expert on Persian food. In fact, this was my first ever Iranian Culinary experience. I thought the food was delicious and a fantastic price.

    It was my second time there, and as was the first time this second time was amazing! My friends loved it that I booked there ! Food is simply delicious and service too, we got served wine in a traditional wine service, he explained to us a bit about the history! I had the mixed grill dish with Chicken, Lamb and Veal and the meat is so tasty and awesome that it just melts in your mouth straight away. Nothing else to say apart from that I will be back at the end of August for my Birthday! The owner even gave us a 1 euro voucher on our next dish for next time! Go there it's great !

    If you like authentic Persian food, try 1001 nights restaurant Located in Lisbon. We had dinner there, As a main course tried koobideh kebab that was cooked beautifully perfect and taste amazing ( don't forget to ask for sumac spice and traditional Persian drink " the dough").They also speak Spanish, English and Persian that is really helpful. I do highly recommended there and we will back again whenever we travel to Lisbon in future.

    Simple and average restaurant. No special environment. Just the fact that it’s not a portuguese restaurant it’s not worth the price. It lacks effort. The bread could be home made instead of store bought for example.
