About Divan Persian Restaurant

Generous platters of flame-grilled kebabs, saffron-scented rice, and rich stews anchor the table at this Killara Persian dining room. Longtime regulars lean toward the Soltani—tender beef skewers alongside fragrant basmati, charred tomatoes, and warm bread. Tables easily accommodate big family celebrations, with staff keeping the mood celebratory and glasses filled with your own BYO wine. On Saturday nights, live musical acts turn dinner into an upbeat party. Finish with freshly brewed black tea and sweet dates.

  • Weekend live music: Saturdays feature live singers and musicians, creating an upbeat backdrop for birthdays, weddings, and milestone gatherings.
  • Abundant Persian staples: Plates arrive piled high with charcoal-grilled Soltani kebabs, fluffy basmati, and slow-simmered eggplant stew.
