Anar Persian Restaurant – 349 Portobello Rd, London W10 5SA
The Management and Staff of the Anar Restaurant have for the past 12 years worked together harmoniously to create an ambiance, a mood and a level of customer service that bring overseas visitors and local patrons alike to partake of the great cuisine of Persia.
We hear time and again from our customers that every other Persian Restaurant in the United Kingdom, Europe and even in Iran comes in at a distant second to the great lunch and dining experience offered at the Anar Restaurant – seven days a week.
It is not surprising that our patrons who came to our eatery when we first opened our doors over 12 years ago return each week with their families and friends to celebrate the sheer joy of eating and drinking in a luxuriously appointed Dining Room that contains a well stocked wet bar comprising of the finest Wines, Beers and Spirits to complement each mouth watering meal.

food ambience
Anar (meaning pomegranate in Farsi and Urdu), opened here in the spring of this year and well encapsulates the mood of its immediate surroundings, indicating perhaps how such disparate elements might complement each other.
The straightforward and unadventurous grills aside, most mains come piping hot in clay-fired terracotta pots, highlights include; the Ghormesabzi (lamb and spinach stew) which is deliciously rich and sticky with deep authentic flavours yet admittedly for some, an acquired taste; the baghali polo-ba-mahicheh (lamb shank with dill and broad bean-infused rice) is not only delicately seasoned and tender but ‘on-the-bone’ leaving a thick and glutinous mixture at the bottom of the pot which when scooped out in spoonfuls, leaves you in no doubt that despite its carefully-managed aesthetic, Anar aims first and foremost to feed and delight.
As you would expect the house drink is either natively-imported or hand-pressed anar juice (depending on the season, of course), or sekanjabin (sweet mint, vinegar and cumber mix) an equally refreshing alternative.
Anar offers traditional ‘hand-me-down’ sub-regional recipes with cooking that is unapologetically confident and proud - without the usual pandering to Anglicised palettes or resorting to cultural pastiches that trade on misguided culinary expectations.
New generations of British diners expect high-end, good-looking yet good value neighbourhood eateries like Anar.

Turn your back on the delights of Kensington Church Street, with its myriad antiques shops and one of the area's best pubs, the flower-bedecked Churchill Arms, and head north up Pembridge Road, then branch left into Portobello Road.
Further up, turn right (past the west London outpost of Shoreditch's deservedly famous Pizza East) on to Golborne Road for Portuguese pastries at the Lisboa delicatessen, dates and tagines at the north African grocers and butchers and grilled seafood from the Moroccan fish vans parked on the kerb (notice the enormous tins of olive oil in the window of the Cash and Carry).
If you carry on up Portobello Road, you'll find Cockney's, one of west London's last pie and mash shops – but the old boozer on the corner has become the elegant Anar Persian Kitchen, so there'll be no Knees Up Mother Brown round the old Joanna there.
Instead, retrace your steps under the flyover (notice some of the last remnants of the area's hippy past in the whole food shop under the arches, and the bakery and café on the right), then turn left on to Westbourne Park Road (ignoring the smell of the Banger Bros sausage emporium on the other side of the junction) and then right on to Ledbury Road.
Turn left on to Chepstow Road if you fancy poking your nose into Tawana Oriental supermarket, or one of the unusual deep-dish cornmeal pizzas at Otto – alternatively, carry on walking along Westbourne Grove, past the baby brother of Mayfair's feted Spanish joint El Pirata Detapas, the well-stuffed Kitchen Ideas cookware shop, and Artisan du Chocolat opposite, until you hit the rude traffic of Queensway.
Anar Persian Kitchen | Restaurants in North Kensington, London
The name of this Persian restaurant and wine bar on Portobello Road translates as 'pomegranate' - a fruit native to Iran and popular throughout much of the Middle East.
It's little surprise, then, to see its sweet and sour seeds sprinkled throughout Anar's contemporary Persian menu.
That menu features dishes ranging from dolmeh, torshi and salads of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber with walnuts and feta cheese to meats cooked on the charcoal grill, slow-grilled chicken wings and fesenjan khoresht - an authentic Persian stew of hand-shredded, slow-cooked poussin with crushed walnuts and pomegranate purée.
The dessert selection continues the authentic theme - think shirini (traditional Persian biscuits), ab havij with bastani (carrot and saffron ice cream) and faloodeh (a Persian sorbet made from thin starch noodles combined with rose water and lime juice).
