    A really fantastic experience. The restaurant is set up so that you aren't on top of other diners, with lots of booths. The food is fantastic, with perfectly done cuts of meat. The saffron ice cream is also a treat worth the visit alone. Great service, fair prices, lovely atmosphere.

    First time visiting here with my family and 5 months old baby . Our baby was happy and screamed from joy maybe once or twice. he was enjoying the environment. The waiter told us we have to keep the baby quiet as the other customers complain.. Bare in mind there were ONLY 2 other families which i definitely know they didn't complain .. I was told by the waiter. AGAIN AND AGAIN that we should of mentioned we are visiting with baby before we reserved a table.. When i told him We have been to many other Persian restaurants like Behesht restaurants, ARIANA RESTAURANTS and couple of others they never complain anyone visiting with babies/ kids. I was told arrogantly Persian lounge is way better than them. Worst experience i had here. Surely it our 1st and last visit here at PERSIAN LOUNGE.. P.S GUYS IF YOU'RE VISITING HERE WITH BABY'S/ KIDS... THINK TWICE !!!!

    I am so happy that Tunbridge Wells has a great Persian restaurant! Absolutely loved the food. Extra points for having delicious vegetarian options! And the desserts are to die for. Highly recommend.

    Were returning clients to this restaurant but on this occasion we were very disappointed with the quality of food service and price. I would not recommend going to this restaurant, food is very basic you can find better food in Pizza Express for half the price. Drinks in particular are very expensive. Humous was very small and seemed as though was prepared yesterday. Deserts felt as though they were prepared a week ago and restaurant manager became very defensive and would not take any criticism on board and said his pricing is no different to anywhere else. We paid service charge but will not return again!

    Really good experience. Great staff, really attentive and just seem happy to help. Food: really good sized portions and really good flavour. Cocktails: well the photos below say it all, not only really good they are happy for you to make requests on how the drink is made (I really dislike an overly sweet Old Fashioned) even checked if it was to my liking! Only point I'd make is I kinda wish negroni was on the menu. Price: I mean pretty much as you'd expect for twells, cocktails a little on the more expensive side but food all priced really well for the amount you get.

    Omg absolutely the biggest rip off in tunbridge wells, pay Β£17 for a plate of nothing. Received three pieces of chicken on a plate with a wilted salad garnish. It was called a kebab but no bread was offered. It was the worst meal we have ever had. Not looking for a fight with the staff we just paid the bill having left the food which was not really enjoyable and crossed the road to Wagamama’s. Now there’s a great restaurant. I love the way that when a restaurant gets a truthful review, the reviewer gets slated by the restaurant and in this case accused of never eating there. Well bad news Persian lounge I still have the receipt and we were definitely there. The food that was served was just not very good, please take the feedback and work with it and develop your menu offering and quality of products. People need value for money these days not ripping off. Create a good value menu with quality products and people will come and dine with you.

    Authentic & Delicious Persian Food For English people who know nothing of Persian cuisine, this would be an excellent place to experience truly delicious authentic Persian food. We had a platter of kebabs to share with barberry rice (which was light and fluffy) and it was fantastic. Persian food is delicious when cooked well and it certainly is here. If you’ve never tried Persian food, you should and no better place to start than the PersianLounge. Loved it.

    Great food, with a ton of flavours, especially the stews! The mixed grill makes a great lunch or dinner for two. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Nice to see some unique food in Tunbridge Wells.

    The best restaurant in Tunbridge Wells. Everything about it is great. The food is very nice, particularly the starters, and the cocktails are amazing - I particularly like the mojitos. The service is also outstanding, the owners are very friendly and accommodating.

    We had a fantastic meal at the Persian Lounge for my sister's birthday this evening! The staff were so friendly and one gentleman was really good with my nephew, making jokes and making him laugh! The food was served quickly and was cooked really well. My sister said it was the best meal she had had in a long time and she wasn't far wrong! Lovely atmosphere and setting. We would definitely visit again. The cocktails were really good, too! One shared toilet, but very clean facilities.

    This is one of the best Persian restaurants in the UK. The food is absolutely amazing. The quality of their kababs is very high and very tasty. Their fesenjan is to die for! The staff is also very kind and very helpful. The place is also very pretty and super clean. Definitely a place to try !!

    A very lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Had lunch here with friends. I had Kobideh minced meat kebab with small salad and good portion of rice. Unfortunately they only had spicy Kobideh but I still managed it as it was not excessively spicy. I believe it is to satisfy the British palate which is extremely reasonable.Sweet was Turkish Bakhlava with ice cream ! All told an excellent lunch πŸ₯—

    We just had the lunch menu at this restaurant, which was new to us. I had koobideh kebab (Minced lamb) with delicious Persian rice, my partner the jujeh kebab (chicken) and salad. It was freshly cooked and absolutely lovely. I have enjoyed many Persian meals and this was up there with the best. We will certainly return.

    First time I've gone out in a while and so happy to have gone here, the staff were all so welcoming, we instantly felt comfortable; impeccable food and drinks to boot. I can't recommend their espresso martinis enough. Can't wait to go back there and it will be soon.

    This restaurant is superb, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The food is beautifully cooked and presented and the flavours are delicate and delicious. I've never had a Persian meal before but this far exceeded my expectations.
