About Aloonak

Aloonak brings nostalgic Iranian fast-food culture straight to Ryde with hefty, foil-wrapped sandwiches and densely loaded Persian pizzas. The kitchen does not hold back on toppings, turning out thick pies with crispy tops alongside steak, roast beef, and mortadella rolls. Diners who know traditional Tehran sandwich shops head straight for the specialty cuts—especially the rich maghz and zaban (brain and tongue) tucks, built on soft bread with pickles and fresh herbs. Classic Persian tunes hum across the cozy dining room while family tables fill with crispy fries and sharing plates.

  • Loaded Persian pizzas: Layered thick with generous meats and melted cheese, finished with a classic crispy top.
  • Authentic specialty rolls: Traditional specialty cuts like maghz (brain) and zaban (tongue) served on soft sandwich rolls.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering and visit timing for Persian fast food

  • Allow Time for Loaded Bakes

    Pizzas are heavily loaded and made fresh to order, which can cause wait times during peak periods or single-staff shifts. Plan ahead if you are on a tight schedule.

  • Customize Toppings for Picky Eaters

    If you have picky eaters or specific ingredient preferences, staff are happy to customize pizzas by removing select toppings.

  • Ask for Specialty Sandwiches

    Beyond standard cold cuts, explore specialty Iranian cuts like Zaban (tongue) or Maghz (brain) sandwiches for traditional preparation.
