The Little Persian Cafe - Ascot

This place had a homely feel like you were eating dinner with family. There were fresh flowers on the table. Service was quick. I found the price reasonable. We loved all the food we ordered. Would definitely come back again for dinner.

A month agoMy favourite Persian restaurant in brisbane. The food tests like my mum 's cooking the service is a bit slow, but it is worth the wait

I had the Gormeh Sabzi and it was great. Lovely owners and though the place is small, its a nice set up. Will be back to try more of the menu

This is an adorable cafe that also does meals, located on Racecourse Road. It is owned and operated by a friendly Persian couple. Service might be a little slow but the cafe is pleasant to wait in. <br/ <br/ Persian food is probably something that one has to grow an understanding of. I didn't understand it at first but B is half Persian, so I was forced to persist. Now I understand the flavours, the use of herbs, yogurt, pickled veg, and of course, the limo amani.<br/ <br/ I had the gormeh sahbzi and it was very good. It came with a heap of perfectly cooked basmati and a little side salad. The flavour of the stew was spot on with soft pieces of lamb. B had the same and said it was very authentic. Our other friend had the joojeh kebab, she said it was excellent and tasted like the chicken had been basted in butter (mmm mmmmmmm). It also came with basmati, a small yoghurt, roast tomato, and a little salad. She said the chicken breast (unusual, usually thigh meat) was very juicy and tender. <br/ We also had a yoghurt dip with bread, it was okay, a bit runny. The bread was not very nice and did not get eaten. <br/ We were continually supplied with cold water throughout the meal. <br/ <br/ I do agree with other posters that the meals are a bit expensive for what you get. The meal should have a nicer bigger salad, with fresh herbs and raw white onion with the kebab. <br/ <br/ I'd go back for the stews, although a little overpriced, very home style authentic. But the kebab looked a touch unimpressive.

This restaurant is charming and cozy. I highly recommend trying the Ghormeh sabzi. The Persian tea was exceptional and served in adorable cups. The customer service was fantastic with very friendly staff.
