Classic Persian Restaurant in Bradford

Absolutely fantastic, gorgeous well presented and perfectly cooked food. The chicken and lamb kebabs were beautifully presented and had plenty on the plate. Lovely friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

We went there for my husbands birthday after an online reservation. Food was excellent, Classic Special was our favourite. Service was great but what made this place special was the environment. We felt very welcomed there and it has definitely become our favourite place in Bradford.

Its clear to see why this restaurant is so popular. Excellent food at great prices. The staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Always a good meal here, nice friendly staff and its great to see the chefs on the grill preparing your meal. I enjoyed the meatballs for starter with lovely fresh naan bread. For main course I had the spicy chicken which was fantastic. Portion sizes are great. A must if visiting Bradford.

Food was brilliant,the taste was unique,definitely would recomend this place if you want to try something different in Bradford.Staff are really kind and generous.

Small restaurant with a Huge personality and taste. Family run restaurant with mouth watering middle eastern food. Book in advance!they are always busy

The food is great, staffs are happy and kind.A good place to meet up with family and friends for hours.

Absolutely amazing food! I would thoroughly recommend the classic sharing platter (no.12). The "baby lamb" skewer is ridiculously good! The meats are very soft and tender.

Very nice food with good service from the staff. The online booking service was easy to use no complaints at all.

The food and service are amazing. Although they dont serve alcohol you can take your own, which, if you like a glass of wine with your meal is a bonus. Well definitely be visiting again.

very nice it was our first visit today and will go back soon weldone guys you deserve 5 stars from me

The restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. There is a car parking onsite. The food was delicious though a bit pricy. We ordered "doogh" (Turkish buttermilk), Salmon and aubergine. The service was quick and the staff made all efforts to make us comfy. If you want a bit different taste and are ready to shell out few extra bucks, then go ahead and experiment with your tastebuds...

Ive been intending to visit this place for years but had never got round to doing so. Finally I went as part of my birthday celebrations. Overall I thought it was superb.The meatball starter was delicious. It comes with a naan which was too much just for the starter so I continued with it for the main course. The main was a plum lamb concoction, the likes of which I had never had before. It was very tasty indeed and I would be tempted to repeat the order on future occasions, even though it would be good to try new things. Someone else had the chicken with pomegranate. Although also tasty their verdict was that it became too sweet and difficult to finish. I tried a small amount and could understand their point.For sheer indulgence I decided on a pudding and went for the hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. To be honest I was not satisfied with this at all. Instead of the soft, warm, chocolate sensation the cake was hard and simply not pleasant, as if turning stale. The added disappointment was that they charged extra for the ice cream instead of throwing it in like just about every other place Ive visited. Ive taken off one star because of the pudding.Overall, a most satisfactory experience. The fact that there were also plenty of Middle Eastern punters speaks volumes for the authenticity of the cuisine. Although there were five of us I agreed to pick up the bill (even though it was my birthday and they should have been treating meand thankfully it did not break the bank.Recommended.

Outstanding quality food. Perfectly spiced and cooked. Great value and service with a smile. Bring your own!

Delicious cold starters: we had 4 between 7 of us, with a main each we had more than plenty. We chose a range of kebabs and/or stews paired with rice, naan (thin, crisp and the perfect way to scoop up starters, wrap juicy pieces of meat or sauces alike). Super flavours - we shared our dishes to try as many as possible!Very good service.No alcohol drinks sold on site, but you can BYOB or wine.

Always a great experience. Food is delicious and portions are generous.

Thankyou to everybody at Clasic Persian for the excellent service we received on the occasion of our Golden wedding anniversary. All our guests was singing your praises as they had not been to your restaurant before and thoroughly enjoyed the food .You made our day very special Thankyou David and noreen Parkington

I visited for the first time on a busy Saturday night and the food and service was great! The owner was lovely along with the other staff and it seems the restaurant is run efficiently. There is parking available behind the restaurant which is useful.I will definitely be back to try new dishes 😊

I had the pleasure of working at Classic Persian Restaurant to install a new Worcester 4000 30kw boiler.Once I had finished Ali insisted I have something to eat. Marinated grilled chicken down over charcoal with salad and rice. It was absolutely gorgeous. So good that I sent a picture to my daughter and she insisted I get another for her as a takeaway which i promptly did and paid for.5 stars all round for the food and service received.

My favourite restaurant in Bradford! Great food and service.

The service was brilliant very attentive & friendly . The food was beautiful. I will be recommending to friends and family .

Tasty Persian food. I had the sea bass which was delicious. My friend had the lamb and said it was a bit tough. They all enjoyed the chicken though. Friendly staff. You can take your own alcohol. Was busy. I would recommend.

What a good do! On the outside of the building, impressions were not good. Get inside, its a feels like a proper family restaurant ~ when it comes to skewers, honestly the best!

Very polite staff. Food was excellent. Well worth a visit

Came this evening after booking online a few days ago, food was great, perfect family and friends environment. The older man who I assume is the owner is brilliant!!! He’s so kind and attentive to the customers. It was another customers birthday and he played a birthday song, sang and danced, it was so nice to see. The restaurant is well kept and the bathrooms were nice and clean. Nothing negative to say ☺️

A 3 1/2 🌟 rating for me.Though it was a lovely meal, went for my mums birthday, the service from the staff was great.Only down side was the menu was lacking good vegetarian options, though there were plenty on the starter options, the mains selection was very minimal and quite laclustre in my opinion.Though, I didnt look at the menu before attending the restaurant, as it was a choice of mums (she loves it there), I had hoped for a more varied selection. Most especially a vegetarian alternative to their very much favoured kebabs etc.Despite this, if the occasion arose again to dine with family, I would. Again, the service was wonderful and the staff are great.

Our first visit here and we were impressed from the start. Very smart interior, pleasant atmosphere, efficient and quick service. Our meals were certainly delicious and different in flavour and cooked to perfection. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and quantity of food served and we would certainly recommend a visit and with the restaurant fully booked, it is obviously popular with likeminded customers.

Hands down the worst dinning experience ever. An awful restaurant I would recommend avoiding. The waiter was incredibly rude and ignorant. I have never witnessed such terrible service and couldnt believe the way he spoke to us. We were not offered drinks when we arrived and were then told we couldnt order them until after the food. The waiter charged around us with zero manners and spilt food all over me with no apology or even a response to my complaint from the manager. This restaurant is not suitable for vegetarians/vegans, you have the choice of 1 very bland, mediocre dish. There are many restaurants that serve much better quality food where the staff are actually nice to their customers! Go to any of then, avoid here!!

Went for a birthday meal. The food was delicious, I ordered the spicy chicken with rice. We had mezza too. The service was great. You do need to book in advance as it gets busy.

Came here 2nd time now, and this visit was to open my fast in Ramadan with family and friends. Quite a small car park that gets full fast in the evenings and also you need to book a table before you come down. The owner Ahmed is a top friendly guy who seated us and asked if we wish to order before fast opens so its ready in time which was thoughtful. They gave dates to open our fast with.This place has a huge selection of fresh halal Persian grilled food with excellent variety and makes you spoilt for choice. Ended up getting nearly every starter on the menu and their classic grill which came out hot and delicious. Chicken, lamb, sheekh, spring rolls and everything was cooked spot on and so tastey. Really enjoyed it here and if your after some real quality food them Id recommend you try these guys out. Friendly staff and clean restaurant with ground and top floor. Well done 👏

A personal favourite, Ive been coming here for years and not once has it disappointed. Amazing food, atmosphere and staff.

My absolute favourite restaurant ever. The food is incredible, authentic and so fresh. I had the sea bass and its the best Ive ever had. Highly recommend, best to book to avoid disappointment.

Nice friendly staff. They prefer pre booking but management was happy to accommodate us when we turned up without booking in advance. Good presentation, Delicious food, good prices. All in all a good experience. Recommended

Made reservations for 8.30 but got there 15 minutes early. Luckily they made space and we sat down.Menu has a good selection, and reasonably priced.Food was delicious. We got a mix grill platter, a chicken skewer platter and some starters.Everything was delicious and fresh.Lovely place well worth the visit

Amazing food and really good service!Highly recommended.Will visit soon 😋

Best meal we have eaten in 2021.Friendly staff, clean restaurant, nice atmosphere, excellent pricing.The food was absolutely amazing, i didnt even know it was possible to cook Chicken and Lamb so well.Everything which we ate at Classic Persian was just unbelievably out of this world. I cant wait for the next time i go here for food...

Telephone called here at 5:45pm on Sunday, got a table for 6:30pm.Arrived in the restaurant which was really clean, the staff were really friendly.We ordered Starters & Main Courses, the Starter was a Mix of 4 from the Hot Platter and Mains were Chicken Skewer, Lamb Skewer & Chips.Every bit of food was absolutely perfect, me and my wife left & said how excited we was to go back.Classic Persian is 100% the best restaurant i have been to this year and i have been to many restaurants so far.I cant wait to go back.

Amazing food and service. Can’t fault this place. The flavours from the dishes were amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Just want to say Thank you to the gentleman that let us in as we forgot to book.The meat ball for starters was amazing however I didnt realise it comes with naan bread so thats a bonus.For main, the chips & kebab were spot on. Kebab was soft & tender :the Chicken was nicely grilled.Its a very "cute" place for couples.

Hadnt heard of this place untill I stumbled across it by chance. Halal Persian cuisine in a authentic Iranian setting. The food here is lovely with generous portion sizes. The service is excellent and staff are really friendly and nothing seems to much for them. Highly recommend this place.

Booked a day before but on arrival had to wait for 15 minutes on door.Food was good. Rice portion & fries portion are small.Overall this place is recommended.Staff is veey polite.*Remember to book in advance*

Staff were nice and very accomodating. The upstairs decor is very nice, and the atmosphere is great. Service was very good and timely. The starter platters are a great choice for larger groups, and the main meal portion sizes are quite large. All of the food tasted amazing. 10/10 would recommend, and will be back again soon.

Ive had Turkish, Lebanese & Syrian. Time to try Persian. Now I cook a little and know the differences between the above. So I kind of knew what I should be getting. I wasnt disappointed. The lamb shank was meaty (not fatty). The items with pomegranate actually tasted like they should. Ant the dishes with meat & dried fruit were finely balanced. The lamb on on my kebab was sublime. The texture just right.(Posted during CV19 - we were safely catered for. All staff Inc Chefs were masked up. The glasses & cutlery were placed on our table in individual sealed bags)

Classic Persian takes C19 seriously. All plates and crockery is wrapped in plastic. All staff wears gloves and masks.Booked in advance by phoning them and sat upstairs for the first time. They keep tables well spaced between guests.The food is delicious as always. Ordered everything from grilled meats, hot starters, sides, tea and baklavas. Everything is as tasty as I remember it pre lockdown.Always loved this place and will keep coming.

Where do I even start?From top to bottom, Classic Persian is one of the best dining experiences Ive had in a long time. Simply put:Quality food, quality service, quality place.The food here is authentic, flavoursome and at such a reasonable price, you really cant complain.The staff here are attentive to your every need, they are welcoming and they know the cuisine very well.The restaurant is small and humble, yet its true to the Persian roots. Its well kept, clean and comfortable.If I havent made it clear already, I highly highly recommend Classic Persian!

Absolutely amazing Persian dinning experience. The food is cooked perfectly and the hummus is possibly one of the best I’ve tasted. The bread is truly amazing, so light and adds to further perfection. I can’t recommend this place enough.

First time here and food was very good. All the meats we ordered were done properly. The aubergine starters were surprisingly goodThe menu was pretty straight forward, portions were big so if youre not that hungry it might be an idea to share. No issues with service and atmosphere was lively but not too hectic, it has an upstairs which seems quieter.

Just had the best meal ever. First class food and great service. Very attentive and helpful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This was amazing 😍 best meal out that Ive had in years. Im Coeliac, and allergic to Dairy and Nuts and I was still able to have a flavourful, delicious 2 course meal! This is definitely worth a visit, super reasonably priced as well! The Photo attached is number 5 on the menu :)

Amazing selection of food, very tasty meat dishes and the meal felt quite light. We had a selection of hot starters and a main dish eat, it was quite a lot of food as the portions are quite sizable. It dosnt have a licence for alcohol but you can take your own.Friendly staff I would certainly visit again if I am in the area.
