Mohsen

An awful and unpleasant experience! Me and my wife went for a dinner at Mohsen last night and we were starving... So we ordered food as soon as we sat down... The restaurant was half full with some non iranians also dining behind us... Starters arrived with freshly baked bread which were nice, won't say there were amazing because I had nicer ones in other restaurants but they were tasty.... It was when we got the main where things started to go wrong... The waiter got the order wrong so we end up having food for almost 5 people.... The youghurt drink was warm, very thick and flat, the staff were extremely rude and unapologetic and were talking behind the other groups who were not Iranians which I found very rude and unprofessional... Have to admit the kebab was nice and cooked perfectly so we finished our food with lot to take home and we asked for the bill... We had ice cream, tea in our bill which we never had and when I tried to talk to the young man who looked as he owned chains of Michelin star restaurants in London, he looked at the bill and talked to his staff and realised he made a mistake and gave me the correct bill... At that point I just wanted to pay and leave as quick as I could... Unfortunately in this case it left us with a bad experience and we would look for somewhere else next time we look for Persian food.

I have been going to Mohsen for fifteen years or so and love everything about the restaurant. Many Iranians frequent the restaurant so you can be sure the food is very authentic. The food is outstanding and the service exceptional. I have become friends with the restaurant owners over the years just from going there and I can say they have only been very gractious with me and all other guests. I would also say the restaurant is a true delight!

Mohsen is a true delight; it's disappoining there are no other reviews to back this up. I've been going to Mohsen now for 12 years and have never had a bad meal. I'm a rare veggie Persian and Mohsen caters beautifully (none of this 'take the meat out and hope I won't notice' business I've experience in other Persian restaurants). Mohsen has, in 12 years, remained inexpensive and I've sat there on many occasion for a good 3/4 hours enjoying the atmosphere and good smells long after I've finished my meal. Highlights, try the Mast-Moosir - Ms Mohsen makes it and the dedication (hours!) it takes to make makes it tastes even more heavenly, especially with the warm bread baked onsite. If you want to try Persian food and aren't sure which place to try, Mohsen is slightly awkward to get to but I promise you won't be disappointed.
