An excellent restaurant to enjoy fresh and tasty food. Ordered the chef mix kebabs and boneless joojeh kabab. The meat and chicken was tender and very deliciously marinated. Had a side of saffron rice that was nice and fluffy.
The downside was service. It was slow from beginning to end.

Taste of Persia is a wonderful Iranian restaurant located at the City Walk Mall, Al Safa. This is also one of my favourite malls to visit & there are some really interesting restaurants, cafes & outlets here to enjoy.
This restaurant is not inside the main mall but actually located across one of the streets that run through this Meraas development. It's near Subway & Nar. This area has got mainly food & beverage outlets with shisha joints as well.
We entered at around 3 pm for a latish lunch and the place was kind of empty but that's probably due to the terrible heat and humidity of mid August. The staff assure me that the whole area gets really busy in the evenings. We ordered just a few dishes to share as we were not too hungry.
The mixed grill for 2 people, kashk badanjan, shirazi salad and a cantelope juice was all that we ordered. Server bought us fresh Iranian bread with a platter of fresh mint, jarjeer, walnuts & feta cheese as an appetizer. Bread was freshly made & went well with the feta, walnut & green leafy vegetables. The kashk badanjan was excellent & very addictive. The mix grill was lovely with the succulent & tender lamb kebab, the melt in your mouth Sultan kebab and the chicken. Loved it. Pretty decent portion as well. Shirazi salad was fine. My cantelope juice was just a perfect way cool off in the heat.
I loved the ambiance of the restaurant with the nice high ceilings & open plan seating with view into the open kitchen where we can see food being prepared. Service was excellent.
In terms of prices maybe, they were a little on the higher side considering the abundance of excellent Iranian restaurants in Dubai.
Best Iranian food in Dubai and better than other Iranian restaurants. Very popular place and friendly staff and good service. In city walk here is best place for dining.
