Javan Persian Restaurant

I love persian food and this is my new favourite - found completely by mistake when walking past. Unless you use the council car park and walk back to the main street most people will not come across this place.Walk up the stairs past the unmanned ground floor espresso machine (have never asked about this situation) and you will find an intimate space holding about 30 seats, along with a giant projection screen and disco lights for the Fri & Sat entertainment.Decor is simple, menu is a double sided one pager.

I have been to Javan twice now and have loved it both times.The restaurant has a light and airy feel with windows in three sides.The service is very warm and hospitable - you feel very welcome .

I was raised on persian food and know the difference between fresh herbs in cooked rice vs dried herbs that most places use.We were very pleased to find this place uses lots of fresh herbs in their rice & lamb shank dish.Their kebabs were served on a bed of fresh herbs also, which was lovely.Overall the food was good and well priced.They do tend to place music videos in the background so if you find it annoying, ask them to turn it down.The owner came around and asked us what we thought, which i think is good customer service.And make sure you try their fresh dill bread, its delicious and only $2!!!!!

It's a very rare day I ever give a 5 star rating but here it was deserved.Sure the decor leaves a lot to be desired but the food and service are outstanding.One the night there was a party booked and we got the last available table. It was noisy (in a nice way) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food.This is definitely on our to return to list.
