The BEST Persian restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life! It was beautifully decorated with a gothic theme, soft lighting and an overall eclectic atmosphere. The hostess Mandana was the best!! She was so warm and accommodating! The food portions were ample and just delicious! The desserts are worth stuffing yourself to oblivion! It was a very memorable and authentic experience. Highly recommended!

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out of This World: An Authentic Persian Masterpiece
​If you are looking for the best Persian cuisine in the city, look no further than Walnut Restaurant. From the moment the food hits the table, you know you’re in for something special. The flavors here aren't just good—they are truly "out of this world."
​
The Highlights:
​The Mixed Grill Platter: The grill work is perfection. The Koobideh is juicy and seasoned to a tee, and the saffron-marinated chicken (Joojeh) has that beautiful, vibrant color and tender texture that only a master chef can achieve. The charred tomato and green chili add that essential smoky finish.
​
​Sabzi Khordan (The Starters): You can tell a lot about a Persian restaurant by their herbs. The platter of fresh mint, basil, and radish served with creamy feta, walnuts, and warm flatbread was incredibly fresh and the perfect palate cleanser.
​
The Verdict:
​The presentation is elegant, the portions are generous, and the authenticity is unmatched. Whether you are a long-time fan of Persian food or a newcomer, Walnut Restaurant will exceed your expectations.
​I cannot recommend this place highly enough! ---

We came all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland because we heard good things. We were not disappointed. The food here is like in restaurants all over Iran, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server Mandana khanoum was the best too making suggestions and making sure we’re having a good time. Thank you, will be back!

Walnut Persian Restaurant is a top spot for serving up delicious Iranian cuisine! Their Mixed Grill Platter, a selection of grilled meats including lamb chops, chicken, & kobeda, served with rice, beans, & a small salad was absolutely mouthwatering & full of authentic flavours. The Lamb Shank, my personal favourite, is also a standout dish, cooked to tender perfection & served with saffron rice & barberries, adding that sweet & tangy flavor. Portions are also very generous!

Mandana is wonderful. The restaurant is super wonderful. Please eat here if anyone comes to Manchester. One of the best Persian places ever!
