Abshar Restaurant (Croydon) - (Near Croydon, South East)

5 /5 Wafik Doss: Lovely restaurant with very nice and catering staff. We’re very kind in alleviating my worries of allergens and the food was delicious. One of the best Persian places we’ve tried for a while. The atmosphere is also very relaxed good Persian music and quite chill in general. Perfect on a weekend. Definitely coming back again with the family!

5 /5 Rokhsareh abedi: This was our second time visiting Abshar Restaurant, and once again, the food was absolutely exceptional. Weve tried many Persian restaurants across the UK, but our best experience by far has been at Abshar. The koobideh kebab was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, which added so much to the overall experience. Most importantly, the atmosphere created by the owner makes everyone feel comfortable and appreciated—its clear that he puts his heart into making sure guests leave with a smile. Even if the restaurant isn’t close to where you live, I highly recommend giving it a try at least once. Its worth the trip—you won’t forget the taste of truly good kebab! ☺️

4 /5 Lanre Coke: Great tasting food. My wife who doesnt eat salad completely finished the Greek salad which was delicious. Funny thing is that I dont eat salad without dressings but I also finished the salad also. The food was freshly done and the customer service exceeded expectations. We will definitely go back!

5 /5 Keann Alvani: The food here is truly authentic—every bite took me back to my Persian roots. The flavors were spot-on, prepared with such care and respect for tradition. The staff were warm and attentive, treating everyone like family, and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere made the evening feel special. As a Persian, it’s rare to find a place that captures our cuisine and hospitality so beautifully. I’m so grateful for this gem and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone craving a taste of home or a heartfelt meal!
