A stalwart Persian restaurant in Hammersmith, Mahdi has been serving top Persian classics to hungry locals since 1999. But these days it’s not just locals they’re serving. You’ll often find a queue for a table here, and once you have a bite of the pistachio koobideh, you’ll understand why. It’s nutty, buttery, and delicious, and not the only thing that’s great. The grilled meats are all delicious, and everything is served on an elevated plate for some extra pizzazz. Once you have a bite of the citrussy, charred boneless chicken, you’ll realise that that 15-minute wait was worth it.

The colorful interior of Mahdi, there are branches and florals hung on the wall, painted details, a chandelier, colorful stained glass on the kitchen door, and tables lined with booths with colorful pillows.
