  • Persian Specialties: Menus feature distinct house recipes like the popular Persian lamb sandwich and spiced Persian omelette.
  • Hearty Portions: Plates arrive generously sized, from hefty schnitzels to braised lamb with plenty left over for takeaway.

    Signature items like the slow-cooked Persian lamb sandwich deliver unique, memorable flavors right along the lakeside.

    The highlight for me was the Persian lamb sandwich—packed with flavour, perfectly cooked, and honestly one of the best I’ve had.
