Persian Room 248 Restaurant

Lovely authentic food

The food is always tasty and often fresh. Presentation is so-so and food availability is hit and miss!

Really nice place with really good food and tea. Slightly cramped, and can be a little loud, but the servers are lovely. I had to almost roll myself out of there I ate so much.

We were lucky enough to visit this before lockdown and it was worth the visit. The menu offered so many choices but we eventually decided on the Special Dip Platter, the Persian King 3 skewer Kebab with dill rice, Lamb Shank with broadbean rice and Faloodeh for dessert. The generous servings turned this into a feast with an orchestra of flavours. Each dish served up unique tastes, scents and textures from the deeply spiced meat dishes to the light and refreshing cucumber & yoghurt dip plus the Faloodeh. This sorbet-like dessert with vermicelli noodles and rose water syrup was a stand out for me - distinctive and lingering pleasantly. The black team with cinnamon and cardamom also deserves a mention - an unforgettable experience in itself. Staff were helpful in our menu choices and friendly throughout the visit. Although there were quite a few diners there, I didn't feel much of an atmosphere here. Hooray for restaurants with comfy chairs that make a longer stay just that bit nicer. Overall, a very good experience here worth returning.

By far the best Persian restaurant in Melbourne. Yummy food, super quick service (even though it was a busy night and almost all tables were full) and more importantly, lovely staff with great customer service. Keep it up guys!

This is a good Persian restaurant, however, dearer compared to the other ones. The food is delicious and the staff is polite and helpful. it is in a nice neighborhood, although finding a parking space might be a challenge particularly in busy hours.

Flavourful dishes; generous portions; lovely staff; Service is quite fast, which makes the whole experience more pleasant. We frequently visit this place and every time happy with their quality service. Couldn’t recommend them more 😊

Small little place but food is great, meat was so juicy and flavoursome. Food came out fairly quick.

I am really thankful for the chef and the good management of the restaurant and the best Iranian restaurant that I know in Melbourne, this restaurant is and your food is very amazing and delicious. Thank you very much for your kind treatment and excellent food

The best Persian restaurant in Melbourne. Delicious food, lovely staff with great customer service. Definitely will come back
