Price: Very Expensive
• Persian • Paddington
Growing up in Iran, where every single meal is a feast and our gatherings are based around vibrant and plentiful dishes. I fell in love with the art of Persian food which was nurtured, with age old recipe passed down through the generations. To this day I mostly make Persian food and my heart will always be there.After a 20 year career in teaching, it wasn’t easy to completely switch paths to give my passion a go, but after my first supper club in 2014, and a lot of encouragement from so many, I knew it was the right path. Since then I have enjoyed being a tv chef, working in Michelin star restaurants and writing for food cookbook. But my passion for health, the art of cooking, and creating community and a society which brings joy and change to peoples lives is still my main drive, and I feel that my supper clubs really nurture that desire and make me a very happy chef :)

    Visiting London and we knew we had to come back here (visited for the first time back in 2022). It took forever for a true, authentic Mexican restaurant to appear in London, but this is it! (We’re from Tucson, Arizona. Trust us, we know.) Everything we’ve had here tastes just as good as if we had it at home. This time we started with a couple of margaritas and some nachos, and then had the shared taco platter as the main course. Delicious! All of the meats are prepared authentically with the right seasonings and spices. So nice to get a small taste of home while abroad! Beyond the food, the decor and ambience is great, it’s very lively, though not so loud that you can’t have a conversation, and the place is always packed with people enjoying their meals. We highly recommend Mestizo - but make sure you make a reservation!

    We were a party of 15, the service was prompt and the food was wonderful. Staff accommodated our requests and we had a great night, would definitely recommend. I was told the curry goat was delicious and I wasn't disappointed as it was absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to go back so I can try other dishes. Thanks for making my husband's birthday party a delightful evening. We ordered a cake and it was beautiful and delicious.
