  • I've finally decided to head down to a Persian restaurant and do a food review. I visited Bamanoosh in Surbiton after having many recommendations from all of you to give it a go... I know some of you do not like spoilers but it was incredible.

    Yet another example of why your channel has and will continue to grow at a rapid rate. Not just your usual politeness and respect you show others but not being scared to try different foods
    It really is a privilege that in major cities in the UK you can find excellent examples of cuisines from the whole world
    As Gary would say "just give them a go"

    Persian food is mild. There is no overpowering smell, taste, or colour because it is all about balance. Iranians use lots of dried fruits such as plums, barberries, and aromatic herbs and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron in most main dishes.

    I tried to post a response... I failed. Attempt no. 2: Persian food is very sophisticated. Persians and Arabs both squeeze lemon juice in their soup. You are right that it enhances the flavour. The marinated and perfectly cooked poussin hidden under a mountain of luxuriously prepared rice, with a salad decorating the edge of the serving platter, did look absolutely appetising. I could almost smell the aroma. 😊 The tea looked delicious as well. Everything was so beautifully presented. The staff at the restaurant must be chuffed with your review. I knew that you would rate it 11 or higher. You looked so happy with it all, as if it was beyond your expectations. I must visit the restaurant myself. Thank you for taking us along.

    Hi Gary ! This is a pleasant surprise - Persian food ! We've got that here in Sydney, too, and it is amazing . The way they cook rice with that buttery crusty bottom, wow. They are the guys who came up with biryani. They also built the Taj Mahal. And about barberries. You can still find them in English hedgerows, but wherever it's found, it's destroyed, because it harbours the wheat rust fungus. They love it in their jams, too. I think it's more interesting than cranberries. Beautiful restaurant. All their restaurants are beautiful. And I've always thought it's a great idea for any restaurant to sell their products in-house, like chilli oil, etc. I'll check out your new website and merchandise. Thanks, Gary. You're really pumping out the videos ! I think you just discovered something about Persian cuisine - you don't only get food, you get the culture. The late , great Anthony Bourdan had a whole episode dedicated to eating in Iran. It blew my mind. You can only get that in Iran. But for now, restaurants like Bamanoosh will do quite nicely. Iran gets a bad rap. But I've seen videos, people wandering the streets filming ( on You Tube ) and you know what, the girls are wearing similar fashions to what I see in Sydney, and people are genuinely happy. You want to know what people are really like, go to their country, and see for yourself, don't hear it from others or the main stream media. Thanks again, Gary !

Would that more of the UA-cam food review content providers would sometimes just relax into their work and stop trying too hard! No names because my point is a subjective one, but the - obviously genuine - sheer joy in your facial expression puts you a class above some.

    I'm so sad that I'll never get to taste Persian food, because it looks like a true symphony of taste, texture, & scent!
    Just the look on your face when you tasted the tea said it all - I would have been happy simply to try that soup, as I was practically salivating seeing it.
    Then you went on to the chicken & rice dish - such a plebian description of something that looked like art on a plate! Lol
    Even sharing with your son, I'm amazed that you finished it all, as those portions were more than generous.
    I just laughed to myself, thinking about the carvery you'd been to, with almost cold food, that, frankly, looked like someone's leftovers, compared to the Persian food!

    This video was especially good, Gary . So much so that I felt I wanted to watch it twice before commenting.I have invariably found Iranian's to be extremely courteous and refined. They have a proud, ancient and noble culture. Your choice of visiting a well recommended Persian restaurant was an exotic, culinary masterstroke.
    My reactions as you showed us this restaurant were that this restaurant was indeed special. You could FEEL it and discern it.Heart and soul were strongly perceived in the beauty of the authentic decor and the personal decorative arrangements. This seemed much more than a mere " business".
    I discerned a real heart to this restaurant . No doubt coming from proud Iranian owners.
    I've no doubt that seeing the food itself was a real treat bit just for myself but for many other viewers because it all seemed so novel and 'un-encountered' before. It made this particular video exciting. How many food review videos can you honestly say that about, Gary?
    The whole experience you had sounded sublime and very synergistic with all the different sensory components coming together to make a' whole' experience which transcended any of the usual words of praise.
    When you can be fortunate enough to have an experience like you just had here, Gary, you elevate these food-tasting videos.
    It's just as well you are the food reviewer you are because trips like this challenge you in a good way and bring out the best in you and what you are always attempting to convey to the viewer.
    This beautiful and special restaurant; the exquisite food, and your personal experience here, lift one's soul. That's special and to be savoured.
    I can see why you feel it's somewhere you want to go back to time and time again.
    Thank you, Gary. Keep doing what you're doing.

    My neighbours are Iranian and they occasionally give me food. It's absolutely delicious. I have the best neighbours. They describe themselves as Iranian but their cooking as Persian.
    The soup looked absolutely fantastic. I like white plates too. Don't like the modern trend in table wear. The mains could not have looked more appetizing. Beautiful. That's a good main for £19. Look at all that rice and salad.
    The lamb looked great. Love the crunch when Gary bit in.
    There was enough food for two there, the tea looked like an event. Such a wonderful experience.
    It's a 10. 😁 Even on price, that was very competitive. It's a 10 plus as you say Gary. Great review as always. Bring on 100k.

    Gary, the food looked gorgeous. Here is a recommendation for your scoring from now on - any establishment that you think exceeds the highest score of 10, give it a 10/10+ (plus or 10/10* (star) instead of 11, 12 etc. If you give it a 10+ or a 10* then this will be sufficient that the establishment exceeds the top mark you can give. It also means that no exceptional place is open to dispute or any further subjective / objective markings. In essence, markings in comparison wither others of equal stature become irrelevant as the standards are so good.

    I know it's a different type of food, but that reminded me of a trip to Morocco, eating at a few places the locals use, had a similar chicken dish and the wraps were rediculously good as well. I absolutely loved the food out there.
    That place is very much on my list of places to eat at if I get back to eating again, thanks for reviewing it, Gary 👍🏼

    Great video. As I started watching this I poured myself a Turkish tea(after ages from my wardrobe), not very different from Persian Tea, full of rose petals, tea, cardamom...and enjoyed your meal a little more. As an Indian, Persian cuisine can be mild which is a good thing. My personal experiences have been mixed for the places I have tried it at, sometimes the meat tends to be dryish, and sometimes the flavors are not uniform, so I am glad everything was a 10 on 10 for you. May be next time you can try some dessert there too.

    I absolutely loved this review Gary, as always, well done! But..... part of me believes you loved this food so much because you've been eating way too many English dishes 😉 I mean, how difficult can it be to boil/fry/roast ingredients (eg peas/potatoes/meat). Us Brits typically don't do much, if anything ,by the way of spices, herbs etc and we definitely don't do presentation! This is yet another of your reviewed restaurants that has been added to my growing (thanks to you!) list to go try out! PS - I will even force myself and go try Pie and Mash someday, even though I think I already know how I'm going to be reacting to that dish!

    Wow Gary that's a huge statement to make about Bamanoosh and it's definitely a place I'll go out of my way to visit when I'm over near that area. It all looked totally delicious but not much of a descriptive review because you just couldn't put into words how good it was. Defo a top mark. You should have what you might call a "Golden 10" for situations like this. Great stuff 👏👏👍👍

      That's a fabulous idea: A rating of a 'Golden Ten' for when the experience is so outstanding that a mere 10 just isn't enough :)

      You’re completely correct I did struggle on this video as I wasn’t expecting the flavours, my apologies. Great idea about giving a ⭐️

    Persion food is very interesting, very close to turkish but also very distinct. I honestly love it, especially the saffron rice! Another great video Gary and the cameraman keep it up!
