Great quantity, great quality, good service. I would recommend this restaurant in a heart beat.Pricing is pretty good too, I had a large plate of food and a glass bottle of sprite, all came to 10.10. Worth every bit!
I been there today .. rediclouse price .. charged me 19.80p for just one course of Makhsos kebab and 2 can of coke which was not even cold and served even without glasses .Absolutely not recommended to any body ….
What a shame that this little beauty is so underrated! The food is amazing!The hommous is fresh, thelamb is succulent and the rice is fragrant. The service is polite and the atmosphere is calm unlike the rush of many more centrally located restaurants in London.The carrot juice ishighly recommendedand the Persian tea and sweets are perfect for an after meal relaxation.Overall I hadto rate it 5.0 as I’ve been to many restaurants rated 4.0 on here that don’t come close to this. Love Mahdi’s!
Been inclined towards Persian cuisine, i have had meals at many persian restaurants. This buffet meal i had at this place is by far the most incredible and authentic i have ever had. The food is delicious and very reasonable. Staff is welcoming, attentive and amicable. The atmosphere is inviting. Do come!
Having tried all the other restaurants in the neighbourhood, I must admit that this one proves to be my favourite out of all. Just a week in London, and I have already found my all time hang out spot! The food here is succulent and the meat is of good quality. The chicken is marinated to perfection and is served with a side bread which compliments it perfectly. Do give it a shot!
The restaurant has beautiful exteriors, but the interiors are not that appealing. The service is not that good, and is not very prompt. The portions of the dishes are enormous and impossible for one person to complete an entire meal. The bread here is very fresh. I am not sure if I would return to this place again.
Mahdi is my go-to place in the neighbourhood when I want to stuff myself silly with the Persian delights available with them especially served as a delectable, generous buffet. It has great location, just as you take the first right turn from Finchley road station, towards Canfield Gardens. Hard to miss, being, in a sense, next door to the massive Waitrose (not its entrance side but the left one).Its buffet that I speak of with such overwhelming love is something available seven days a week, during lunch hours. Mahdis interiors are beautiful warm and mesmerising lovely stained glass work, even better tile work, traditional warm-toned cushions and on the walls, haunting prints of Persian-styled paintings, right out of Rubaiyat as if!!!The buffet is an unlimited spread with different items every time. I have eaten off their a la carte menu as well some of those items naturally feature in the buffet from time to time. These usually include some sort of barbecued meats mainly CHELOV KEBABS with lamb and/or chicken; HOMOUS; MAST-O-KHYAR (like a raita with cucumbers); KHORESH GORMEH SUBZI (which is a lamb and bean stew with an amazing kick from the whole preserved limes); to be eaten with either fresh NAN bread or ZERESKH POLO which is the typical Iranian pilaf dish garnished with the tart zereskh berries etc. For the superior grade of food available at Mahdi, I think it is remarkably competitively priced as well.To do full justice to the buffet, I need to always ensure that I have literally fasted before turning up here and that I have kept the afternoon free so that I can curl up and catch a nice afternoon nap after the heavenly meal one is always ensured one will have at Mahdi.
