Media ^.^: Mahdi REVIEW (HOMEWORK FOR TOMORROW

Last week Sunday I went out for a meal with my family to the restaurant Mahdi; in Hammersmith which is an authentic persian cuisine. Known for not only the number one place for persian food within London but it's gorgeous persian interior and their family oriented atmosphere. So I thought I'd give a little review on the food as well as the wonderful service as me and my family are loyal customers. This was our fourth time dining at Mahdi and it's honestly the cutest little restaurant with the most mouth watering food.

As we are regular customers, we tend to order the same dishes and this time was no different- However I ordered a salad for a starter, which is not usually something we do as you are given complimentary homous and naan before you begin your meal; however I wanted to try something new. The salad ordered was 'Salad Olvieh' which was a combination of potato, eggs, gherkins, mayonnaise, lemon juice and chopped chicken breast (number 8 on the menu £3.90)

Although it looks unappealing, don't judge it before you've tried it... It's so so delectable it's honestly gorgeous. I can imagine it being a sandwich filling, ah it's so delectable and I can still taste the flavours. I was surprised to see how well the flavours went together.

So our main meal was the 'mixed grill' (number 31- on the menu £31.90) which we ordered twice alongside the saffron rice with blueberries on top (which comes with the grill) the grill consisted of:

One grilled skewer lamb chops
One grilled skewer of lender
Thin slices of chicken fillet
Two grilled skewers of minced meat served with grilled tomatoes
One grilled skewer of tender chicken
One whole/ half on a bone

Above, are the pictures of the food and believe me it tastes as good as it looks. The meat is tender and full of juice, we have never been disappointed and lack of flavour has never be an issue. The rice, with a hint of saffron makes the combination of the blueberries as well as the meat a perfect match. The flavours exploding in your mouth, making no need for ketchup nor mayonnaise.

To end the lovely and satisfying meal it is finished with a traditional Iranian tea (Pot for 3.50) which goes by the name 'kava' pronounced 'Kaa-va' the cutlery as well as the tiny glasses for the kava were much appreciated and added to the whole experience. As a whole, the restaurant is exactly as the reviews states; "an authentic persian cuisine, the number one place for persian food within London it's gorgeous persian interior and their family oriented atmosphere." Although they tend to aim their atmosphere based on families I would see no reason for a group of friends to attend it's a happy and warm restaurant full of satisfied faces and loyal service.
