Being Asian and recommending an Iranian restaurant is not easy, but Mahdi is seriously great. I have gone to a lot of Lebanese, Persian restaurants and never rated them but this is good. Try the Mahdi Falludah - food from heaven.

I work around the corner and eat at the Mahdi Restaurant at least once a week. While it is true that the Mahdi decor is cheesy and there has been no great thought given to privacy or lighting, the food is really good, the bread is fantastic and the lunchtime specials are cheap.

The menu at Mahdi is one of the best I've seen in Iranian/Persian restaurants. Normally the choice is limited to a cholo kabab, but here you have a lot of other great Iranian dishes that you can try.

The quality of the food was good, the price reasonable (under £20 pp) and the service efficient. The decor is traditional, yet minimalist with paintings from the great Iranian Mahmoud Farshchian covering several walls. I would definitely recommend Mahdi.

Have eaten here twice and won't be returning. The service at Mahdi is cold and direct and the food (bag of boiled rice and chewy meat) is served with a grimace. I dont think this is value for money. How much would a plate of rice cost if you made it at home?

The worst aspect of dining at Mahdi is you feel pressured by the all-eyes-watching-you environment and the little privacy given for conversation by the seating arrangement.

Overall I give Mahdi a two-star rating. It could go up to three if the staff learned a little customer relations.

I think you and I have been to a different Mahdi restaurant. I found the place so good. The service, quality and quantity of fod were excellent. There was no 'pressure' from anyone watching except to give us good service and make sure everything was good for us. This is an excellent place to eat, only problem was too much food. Everything was cooked just right - compliments to the chefs. - Report

Being an Iranian living away from family I have sampled many of the West London Persian/Iranian restaurants. Although this one does badly from a point of view of decor and air conditioning, the food is fantastic. The most amazing kebab grills I have tasted, and equally fantastic starters and freshly made bread. The staff are very friendly and courteous.
Great value for money, but dont expect your cutlery to match or for the the WCs to be more than basic. I certainly recommend the "chelo kabab barg" (Grilled lamb with rice) and Mirza ghassemi (Aubergine and tomato)with bread.
