Other published opinions

Brisbane Times Score: 11/20 "The Persian is about as far away from its exotic origins as you could get, set on the corner of a suburban shopping centre in Coorparoo"

Courier Mail Anooska Tucker-Evans, 24-6-2007 "More of a cafe than a restaurant, this modern-looking eatery feels vibrant and airy with its red walls, illuminated wall hangings and outdoor area. The meals here are well-priced and, judging by the people of Iranian background hoeing into the large serves around us, they are authentic.

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2007 "This family-owned restaurant pays homage to an ancient culture, yet the interior is a modern mix of curved white chairs, a wooden banquette, with touches of antiques and images from Iran"

Courier Mail QWEEKEND Alison Walsh, 20--06 Food 14 Wine N/A Service 14 Ambience 14 The Score 14 "Hidden away in a suburban backstreet lies The Persian Restaurant. Almost lost amid a sprawl of commercial detritus, the unprepossessing establishment is a rare treasure. ... The feel is casual - it's BYO, the tables bare faux wood and service is relaxed but swift. Head chef Roxanna Fakhra has divided the menu into appetisers and accompaniments, salads and light meals, main courses and kebabs."
