Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

One of the best and underrated restaurant in Leeds. Massive portions, proper taste. The menu is great, chicken with rice and pomegran fantastic. Service fast, friendly, and professional. Lamb shank is something to try. A main is around £15/17 and it's so big that you...struggle to eat everything.More

Very small restaurant so it’s best to book ahead - people literally queue outside for a table. The food is absolutely amazing, go for the mixed platter if you want to try a bit of everything. The deserts were beautiful too. No alcohol allowed but...there are soft drinks on the menu. My only criticism is that it lacked a bit of atmosphere and felt a bit more like a busy cafe than a restaurant, can’t put my finger on why but it didn’t feel like a special night out. Well worth trying it out though and the staff were lovely even though it was very busy.More

I visited the restaurant with my mother and my two sons. We all thought the food was delicious, the service was first class and the restaurant was warm and friendly and very clean. As we left there was a queue out of the door… I...can see why! Don’t hesitate to go if you want to experience delicious authentic Persian food. Merci!More

This place is everything that Nandos could have been, but the difference between them is like the difference between a Hilton and a B&B. Authentic dishes, chilled but smart environment, lovely staff and excellent food combine to make this an excellent restaurant. The spiced chicken...was amazing and the portions exceptionally generous.More

Staying in Leeds overnight and thought we would try Haftsin. We were lucky to have the table with a window into the kitchen and overlooking the charcoal grill. From there we could watch chef preparing skewers of meat. The food was absolutely divine and I...would willingly suggest this as a great place to eat.More

Just looking at the pictures here makes me want to go there again! The great thing is that the meat dishes are grilled, so tasty but not greasy. Then the nann and saffron rice (esp the one with the berries) makes a nice change from...potatoes. It's a treat to have Persian food. Great price and good portions too.More

Visited with family on a quiet night and the service was very slow. Tables that arrived after us were getting served before. Very hard to flag a waiter down and food was mediocre at best!

There are some parking spaces along the road, just outside the restaurant. Depends if it's a busy time.
