As an Iranian, I really enjoyed coming here. Kebab was amazing, service was lovely and very cozy. Will be back.

I have tried this restaurant for take away foods and food is good but not the best Persian food in London. The portion sizes are also good and enough. The atmosphere is fantastic. I will definitely visit again but Koonideh isn’t the best in my option. Barg and Jooneh are good.

Do not go, rip off, over charged and I’m taking them to small claims court, as they have not responded to my complaint.

Great place, family run for many years & long May they continue, the selection & authenticity of the food is terrific, as is the welcoming service.

Been coming to Faanoos with my family for years, it's hands down our favourite intimate dinner spot with the best Persian food we've ever had. The staff is lovely, food portions are generous and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Highly recommend their chullu kebab and the okra curry dish. Ask for pomegranate currents to add to your rice or bread for a burst of flavour!Vegetarian options: amazing salads, breads, falafel, hummus and their Okra curry is incredible.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a ground-floor restaurant with step-free access, and there's accessible shaded outdoor seating on the sidewalk.

I had some wraps/sandwiches ordered for my wedding from Fanoos last night. There was not a single guest who was not impressed with the quality of the food. I would like to give my special thanks to the chef, Jafar and Farhad with organising it for us.

i rarely award 5 stars to a food establishment - if i didn't in this case, i would be a liar. portion sizes were ideal and very VERY reasonable prices (personally, i was shocked to find this in london). enjoyed mast o khiyar and a 1 person mixed grill (joojeh+koobideh) and oh my goodness THE RICE?? delicious. the fresh bread was superb; the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere with a bread tandoor's smell permeating the air. so scrum. the vibes were immaculate, i imagine tehran to feel like this. already thinking of who i'm bringing with me next time!!

Absolutely lovely place with delicious food and great service. Freshly baked bread with all those delicious starters, heaven for me. We tried lots of different dishes and every single one was amazing including service. The restaurant is quite small so can be very busy.Parking: After 7pm it's free and if you are lucky, you can park directly in front of the restaurant.
Great people great food ... traditional Persian cuisine. On site stone oven.. just above average pricing.. good parking around

Authentic Persian food very tasty and reasonably priced We had vegetarian meal and everything was perfect. Would recommend the Korma dish with black beans

Nestled in the heart of Chiswick, Faanoos is a hidden gem that promises a remarkable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you are transported into a world of elegance and opulence. The restaurant's captivating decor, reminiscent of Persian heritage, sets the stage for a truly memorable evening.The menu is a culinary journey through Iran's rich flavors and aromatic spices, showcasing the authenticity of Persian cuisine. Each dish is carefully crafted with attention to detail, leaving no room for disappointment.One of the standout dishes I sampled was the succulent and tender lamb kebab. The meat was beautifully marinated and perfectly grilled to retain its juiciness. The accompanying saffron-infused rice, fluffy and fragrant, was a perfect complement. Every bite was a harmonious blend of flavors that left me craving more.The variety of vegetarian options at Faanoos is also commendable. The sabzi khordan, a platter of fresh herbs, radishes, and Persian cheese, was a refreshing and vibrant starter.The service at Faanoos is impeccable. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of your dining experience is met with care and precision.They are happy to guide you through the menu and provide recommendations based on your preferences.The ambience of the restaurant is an ode to Persian culture. From the intricate tapestries adorning the walls to the warm lighting that creates an intimate atmosphere, every detail has been carefully curated to transport you to Iran itself.

I ordered the Falafel plate. Overall food was good but could have been better with some sauce for the dish. It was a bit dryish. Decent experience.
