Hana

First time trying this local neighbourhood restaurant and really impressed. The food was packed with flavour, and the meat was beautifully cooked and seasoned. Although the restaurant seemed a bit short-staffed, the one person running the floor was incredibly attentive and made us feel well looked after. We thoroughly enjoyed both the meal and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. They were also kind enough to accommodate our little dog in one of their outdoor tables!

I’ve been going to Hana for years and it’s easily one of the best Persian spots in London. The food is always delicious. Try one of their stews on your first visit, especially Ghalieh Meygoo or Ghalieh Mahi. Their rice is also excellent, with none of that bad smell you sometimes find in other places. Highly recommend!

We have been going to this restaurant for over a decade now. It is the best Persian restaurant in London. The quality of the meat, the taste and the overall service is exceptional. There is no point wasting your time in trying other Persian cuisines. It will not be better then this!

The food was really delicious. We tried koubideh and jooje and they were so tasty and juicy. Their homemade bread also worth a try.

The best charcoal vegetables and meet grill we’ve tried in London! The minced meat, chops and spring chicken were incredible. Typical Persian marinade. Excellent rice and the salad was fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly and very polite. They made an exception from the menu and accommodated a dish for us which was not quite as per the menu. The restaurant is a small gem in West Hampstead. Very nice atmosphere and I loved how the restaurant was decorated. Nice terrace outside if you’d like to eat outside. The place is bit hidden, away from the main street, but much greater than other meat places in the area. Make sure to visit!

Very nice Persian food. Generous portions. Staff could be more friendly but part from that all was fine

Food was decent, the rice was great Baby chicken portion was tiny. Lamb shish needed more flavour. Also the ladies toilet smelt a bit might be from the air on And why do they charge £6 for yogurt sauce? The service was great! Heads up the menu prices are different from outside the store and the menu you get inside

Hana has never disappointed us—it’s truly a gem! The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere has that charming Hampstead vibe, and the staff are incredibly attentive and polite. The floor team, in particular, deserves special praise for their professionalism and warmth. Every visit is a delight, and we always recommend Hana to our friends for an authentic Persian food experience. Without a doubt, we’ll be returning.

Great Persian restaurant. Superb authentic menu, combined with excellent quality food and service. And reasonably priced too. If you enjoy real Persian food this is definitely the restaurant to go to. Enjoy.

Five stars. Service was impeccable - friendly, very helpful and professional. The place is always busy so that speaks to its popularity. Food was closer to four stars but staff definitely made it five.

A little gem off to the side of West End Lane - hard to miss if you know it's there, and worth finding. We ordered some bread and a house salad as starters. The bread was warm and the salad fresh; what else could you ask for? It was a simple chopped salad, but had a nice light dressing of olive oil and maybe lemon that made it stand out. For the mains, we had one order of the grilled tiger prawns and one order of the lamb (makhsoos). The prawns were good - they were cooked, but cooked less than I'm used to, so it took a few bites before I was fully comfortable. That said, they had a really nice flavour (especially with a touch of the chili sauce!). It came with rice mixed with herbs which had a really nice flavour. I don't eat lamb, so all I can say is that my partner really liked it. He said it was cooked simply but well. I did, however, try the saffron rice and - wow! - it was absolutely delicious. I know it may sound weird to praise rice, but I so often get served rice that's either slightly under/overcooked, or poorly seasons, or dried out, or sticky when it's not meant to be, etc. However, both rice dishes were perfectly cooked. And when a restaurant does the basics this well, you know you can expect very good food. Pricewise, it was fair by London standards, but a but pricier than we'd normally do - £48 for the food, two drinks, and tip. I wouldn't call it horribly overpriced, but £25pp is a bit out of our usual price range, especially considering the simplicity of the dishes. That said, we really liked the calm atmosphere inside (it's definitely one for a date night or for a meal with parents) and every member of staff we came into contact with was absolutely lovely. It's definitely one to return to for a nice occassion.

I have to say, this was quite the pleasant surprise. We wandered into this tiny restaurant on a cold and rainy Saturday night (seriously folks, when does summer arrive in London!!) with the stroller and baby in tow and were greeted with a smile. The service is friendly and prompt. And the food is amazingly delicious. No, really, it is. We had almost every appetizer on the menu and a few items from the grill. Every dish was prepared with care, perfectly cooked and balanced with a lot of different flavors. We will definitely be coming back!

I was there with a couple of friends in Sunday evening. lovely and cozy atmosphere and beat starters ever. The place is very small so do book a table or you'll risk not to get seated. highly recommended.
