Yulia 1 4th September 2011 5 star rating My partner and I had lunch at APADANA Restaurant on 02/09/2011. We were absolutely impressed by the atmosphere of this cozy place. It was like travelling to Middle East. Wall paintings of ancient heroes, genuine rugs, fireplace, Persian music - this amazing interior took my breath away and I almost forgot why we were there. We actually found this place accidentally - I bought a voucher online worth of $50 to spend at this restaurant. We wanted to taste something authentic so we ordered Moroccan lamb shank for me and Shandiz kebab for my partner. I must say that I've never eaten such beautiful lamb. Lamb is my favorite dish and I order it at every restaurant I visit. But this one exceeded my expectations. Juicy tender meat with aromatic sauce and perfectly mashed potato were outstanding. Shandiz kebab looked also marvelous. According to my partner, it tasted very well and the size of the portion was impressive. Having finished our lunch with a nice cup of coffee we left this place satisfied with new unforgettable experience and having in mind to come back there again. I would recommend APADANA to those who like good food, attention to detail and creativity.

Marvelous place, fantastic food and good portions. The service is pretty good too. Only the slightly uncomfortable chairs let down the side. Check out the peppermint wrapper bin on the way out/in.
