This Persian cafe/restaurant is tucked down the Burley Road in Leeds, and is a very pleasant "find". We were recommended by an Iranian taxi driver who told us that the food was excellent. And indeed, it was. We went for lunch there, and were offered a very extensive menu, which was explained to us by the friendly waitress. (Though, in... More

the food was good but portions are not so big. also, we ordered bakhlava for dessert and we got rosewater flavored cake (not even basbousa). the waitress insisted that this is authentic bakhlava though I have been to greece and turkey and never saw this type of bakhlava in any restaurant.

I had been there to have dinner, without a reservation but they still managed to find us a seat on the top.. Though this meant that it was a bit away from the hustle bustle of the main dining area downstairs, we were still able to enjoy good food. the service was quick, and very friendly. But please be warned,... More

Been there several times now.Yes, the service can be a bit slow sometimes but the food's been great every time. Everything we've tried from the grill has been amazing (try the dill rice with sea bass). Not had too many of the stews, but the fesenjaan was good. Only thing can't really comment on is the appetizers. Never bothered with... More

We visited Haftsin last Saturday evening whilst visiting our daughter in Leeds. We booked a couple of weeks in advance and I'm glad we did as it was packed! The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Some people have complained about the slow service but, although we had to wait a while, it was worth it. If... More

We have been to the restaurant numerous times and have always thought the service and staff attitude lets the place down but the food is really good, however after today's experience we won't be going again. We had finished our food but the kids were still eating and the waitresses started clearing out plates and then asked us if we... More

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant, I'd not liked it previously, but that was many years ago, and it's under new management now. I loved the food. Can't fault that. I always love Persian food. The service was not good though. The atmosphere could be better too. It feels more like a cafeteria rather than a restaurant. We'll... More

This is a gem of a restaurant situated on Burley Road about 1km from Leeds City Centre. I've been here numerous times since it opened around 2005 and have never been disappointed. Mansour (chef and current owner) has taken this restaurant to new levels since he took over about 3 years ago. Everything is prepared and cooked in full view... More

I have been coming here for years. Very clean and friendly place. No one grills meat as well in Leeds. Portions are generous and delicious.
