About Jaam-e-Jam Restaurant

Jaam-e-Jam serves scratch-cooked Persian comfort in Hornsby, dishing up slow-simmered stews, succulent charcoal skewers, and fragrant mounds of saffron rice. Regulars crowd the dining room for bowls of walnut-rich Fesenjan and herb-loaded Ghormeh Sabzi, dipping warm bread straight into garlicky Mirza Ghasemi. Nearly the entire lineup is naturally gluten-free—from tender koobideh to melt-in-the-mouth lamb shanks. Bring a favorite bottle for dinner, order a chilled glass of housemade doogh, and finish with saffron ice cream drizzled in sour cherry syrup.

  • Slow-Cooked Persian Staples: Rich stews like walnut-pomegranate Fesenjan and herb-packed Ghormeh Sabzi simmer alongside tender, chargrilled koobideh skewers.
  • Naturally Gluten-Free Menu: Skewers, slow-braised meats, and fragrant saffron rice dishes are naturally prepared without gluten, keeping dining worry-free.
  • BYO-Friendly Dining: Guests can bring their own wine to pair with family-style feasts during structured evening sittings.

Signature slow-cooked Persian stews and chargrilled kebabs

  • Fesenjan

    The Fesenjan was well balanced, with proper walnut and pomegranate flavours, but not overpowering.

  • Ghormeh Sabzi

    We had the Ghormeh sabzi which was excellent - super rich flavours.

  • Gheymeh Nesar

    We shared a Gheymeh Nesar (lamb on saffron rice topped with barberries), and everything worked, we loved the flavours of the rice, the tenderness of the lamb, the texture from the pistachio flavours and the tang from the barberries.

  • Koobideh

    Kobideh is my favourite compared to lamb back. It just melted. Rice quantity was large, but I guess it was light calories which just disappeared in the tummy 😅.

Traditional Persian starters, fresh bread, and desserts

  • Mirza Ghasemi

    We loved the Mirza Ghasemi dip (bbq eggplant, eggs, tomato, garlic) and has this with Persian bread - it doesn't have a strong eggplant taste and was divine.

  • Kashk-e Bademjan

    I started with the Kashk-e Bademjan, an eggplant dip that was perfectly seasoned and incredibly creamy.

    Gavin Bateman

  • Persian bread

    Try the persian bread its divine!

    Mike Ayoub

  • Persian ice cream

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book a table in advance?

Yes, reservations are accepted and highly recommended as the dining room fills up quickly. On busy Saturday nights, service typically operates across two sittings (6:00 PM to 7:30 PM and 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM). Certain heritage dishes, including kalle pache and slow-cooked beef, must be pre-ordered by phone in advance.

Are there good gluten-free options?

Almost the entire menu is naturally gluten-free across grilled kebabs, stews, and saffron rice dishes. Diners with gluten intolerance or celiac requirements can safely eat most items, though you should avoid the Persian bread and specific wheat-based desserts.

How are the portion sizes for meat and rice?

Main dishes and combination platters come with particularly generous mounds of saffron rice. If you prefer a higher ratio of meat over carbs, consider sharing a rice base and ordering extra individual meat skewers like koobideh or boneless chicken.

Where can I park nearby?

Free street parking is available across the road and nearby, and the restaurant is within walking distance of Hornsby Westfield parking if street spaces are full.
